This is one we always fixed over the holidays.


Ice Box Fruit Cake

1 pound graham crackers
1 pound pecans
1 pound small marshmallows
1 can Eagle Brand milk
1 pound red candied cherries
1 pound green candied cherries
1 teaspoon cinnamon
1 teaspoon nutmeg
1 teaspoon allspice

Crush crackers, add chopped nuts, marshmallows, cherries, and spices.  Pour Eagle Brand milk over and mix well.  Line a large pan with foil and pack mixture in firmly.  Refrigerate at least 2 hours.  Break into pieces or cut into squares.

Chocolate Gravy

Here is a recipe from my childhood called Chocolate Gravy.  My mom would fix this from breakfast for us as a treat.  She always served it with warm biscuits and butter.  Hope you enjoy it as much as we have.

1 1/2 cups of sugar
3 tablespoons of cocoa
3 tablespoons of flour
2 1/2 to 3 cups of water
touch of vanilla (about a 1/4 to 1/2 teaspoon)

Place all ingredents in a sauce pan and bring to a boil.  It will not be thick like white gravy, but will be a nice thick sauce consistance.  Can also be used over ice cream, cakes, just about anything that you like chocolate sauce over. But over warm biscuits, it is the best.
