I am always asked to make and bring my homemade Irish Creme Fudge to holiday get togethers. I also make this using Kahlua, brandy, Kirsch, spiced rum or other liqueurs and add nuts and/or fruits that compliment the chosen liqueur.

Irish Crème Fudge

3 sticks of butter (3/4 pound)
3 cups sugar
2/3 cup evaporated milk
1 7-ounce jar Kraft marshmallow crème
12 ounce bag semi-sweet chocolate chips
1 bottle (airline size or nip) Irish Crème
2 cups walnuts or pecans - optional
2 8-inch square pans sprayed with non-stick spray

In a 3 quart sauce pan - preferably enameled cast iron - melt butter, sugar and evaporated milk. Bring to a boil, turn down heat to a low boil and cook for 5 minutes.

Turn off heat and mix in marshmallow crème. Once that is incorporated, mix in the chocolate chips until mixture is an even chocolate color then add the Irish crème and nuts, mixing thoroughly.

Pour mixture into pans and cool thoroughly before cutting into squares and serving.

Apple-Cherry Cobbler
6 to 8 servings
Prep: 20 minutes
Bake: 8 to 10 minutes
Cook: 6 to 7 hours

Ingredients
1/2 cup granulated sugar
4 teaspoons quick-cooking tapioca
1 teaspoon apple pie spice
1-1/2 pounds cooking apples, peeled, cored, and cut into 1/2-inch slices (4-1/2 cups)
1 16-ounce can pitted tart cherries
1/2 cup dried cherries
1 recipe Spiced Triangles
Ice cream, such as butter pecan or cinnamon; or half-and-half; or light cream (optional)

Directions
1. In a 3-1/2- or 4-quart crockpot stir together sugar, tapioca, and apple pie spice. Stir in the apple slices, undrained canned cherries, and dried cherries until combined.

2. Cover; cook on low-heat setting for 6 to 7 hours or on high-setting for 3 to 3-1/2 hours. To serve, divide cherry-apple mixture among 6 to 8 shallow dessert dishes. Top with Spiced Triangles and ice cream or half-and-half, if desired. Makes6 to 8 servings.

Spiced Triangles: In a bowl combine 1 tablespoon sugar and 1/2 teaspoon apple pie spice. Unroll 1 package (8) refrigerated crescent rolls. Separate triangles. Brush tops with 1 tablespoon melted butter and sprinkle with sugar-cinnamon mixture. Cut each triangle into 3 triangles. Place on an ungreased baking sheet. Bake in a 375 degree F oven for 8 to 10 minutes or until bottoms are lightly browned. Remove to a wire rack to cool.

Peach-Berry Cobbler
9 servings
Prep: 25 minutes
Bake: 20 minutes

Ingredients
4 cups sliced, peeled fresh peaches or one 16-ounce package frozen unsweetened peach slices, thawed
1/4 cup cold water
2 tablespoons sugar
4 teaspoons cornstarch
1 tablespoon lemon juice
1/4 teaspoon ground allspice, cardamom, or cinnamon
1 recipe Biscuit Topping (see recipe below)
2 cups fresh raspberries or frozen lightly sweetened raspberries, thawed

Directions
1. For filling, in a medium saucepan, combine peaches, the water, sugar, cornstarch, lemon juice, and allspice, cardamom, or cinnamon. Let stand for 10 minutes.

2. Meanwhile, preheat oven to 400 degree F. Prepare Biscuit Topping.

3. Cook and stir the peach mixture over medium heat until thickened and bubbly. Stir in the raspberries. Heat through, stirring gently. Transfer the hot filling to a 2-quart round or square baking dish.

4. Immediately drop the Biscuit Topping into small mounds onto the hot filling.

5. Bake about 20 minutes or until browned and a toothpick inserted into topping comes out clean. Serve warm. Makes 9 servings.

Biscuit Topping: In a medium bowl, combine 1 cup all-purpose flour; 2 tablespoons sugar or sugar substitute* equivalent to 3 tablespoons sugar; 3/4 teaspoon baking powder; 1/4 teaspoon baking soda; 1/4 teaspoon ground allspice, cardamom, or cinnamon; and 1/8 teaspoon salt. In a small bowl, stir together 1/3 cup plain low-fat yogurt; 1/4 cup refrigerated or frozen egg product, thawed, or 1 egg, beaten; and 2 tablespoons butter or margarine, melted.

Easy and yummy... You can add mini marshmellow too if you want. You can also add chopped walnuts or pecans...

i suggest a bakers square pumkin pie . get a cool whip / or fresh cream topping. or you could apple pie.

maybe an appetizer , sliced vegies tray / dip ? deviled eggs

might be best to just ask your hostess /aunt what she needs / if she has coordinated.

cranberry sauce is always easy . the boston chicken sells a wonderful one.
