Snuggles....sorry I just got back to my computer and saw your request for the recipe....so here goes.

1 cup light cream
1 (14 oz.) can sweetened condensed milk
1 2/3 cup Irish Whiskey
1 teaspoon instant coffee
2 tablespoons chocolate syrup
1 teaspoon vanilla extract
1 teaspoon almond extract

Combine all ingredients in a blender and blend at high speed for 30 seconds. Place in a tightly sealed bottle and refrigerate.

We have been known to use cheaper whiskey than Irish...and it still turns out good. And depending on prefrence we also have been known to increase the whiskey up to double per batch. The year I put this in christmas baskets, I made it stored it in the refrigerator until just before I was going to deliver the basket. I was able to find a bunch of small battles with corks at the dollar store to put it into. YUMMY!

Snuggles: I made these for Christmas gifts one year and got rave reviews. I think everyone appreciates homemade gifts.

I would also suggest putting bean soup ingredients as well as your favorite cookie/bar ingredients along with the recipe in a jar. By doing this, it allows the recipient to make the treat at his/her convenience. Happy Cooking :-)

Glazed And Salted Pecans

1/4 cup vegetable oil
1 quart pecan halves
Salt
2 or 3 generous Tablespoons light corn syrup

Preheat oven to 300 degrees. Heat the oil and syrup in a heavy iron skillet, stirring to combine as well as possible. Add the pecan halves and stir to coat. Transfer the skillet to the oven and roast, stirring every 15 minutes or so, until nuts are crisp, for a total of about 1 hour. Turn nuts out onto waxed paper, separate them and sprinkle generously with salt. Store in a tightly closed container.

Fancy Toasted Pecans

Beat white of 1 egg until stiff; add 1 teaspoon vanilla and 1 cup brown sugar; beat well. Add 2 cups pecan halves. Stir until well coated. Place each half separately on greased cookie sheet. (Put small pieces in cluster.) Pre-heat oven to 250 degrees. Bake until light brown (approx. 25-30 minutes).

Instant Spiced Tea

2 1/4 cup sugar
2 cups Tang (or like powdered drink)
3/4 cup + 2 Tablespoons instant tea
1 teaspoon powdered cloves
2 teaspoons cinnamon
1 package Wyler’s lemonade mix

Mix all ingredients together. Use 2-3 teaspoon per cup of hot water for spiced tea.
Fill gift jars and decorate with ribbon; don’t forget to include directions preparation.

Hot Fudge Sauce
Ingredients
3 (1-ounce) unsweetened chocolate squares
½ cup butter or margarine
1 (12-ounce) can evaporated milk
1 (16-ounce) package powdered sugar, sifted
