2 eggs, beaten

Mix stuffing mix, hot water and butter in large bowl until well blended.

ADD remaining ingredients; mix lightly. Shape into 60 balls, each about 1 inch in diameter. Place in single layer in two 15x10x1-inch baking pans sprayed with cooking spray.

BAKE 15 to 20 min. or until lightly browned.




I make this every year and my family loves it.

SALTINE BRITTLE

saltine crakers
1 cup butter
1 cup light brown sugar
1 (16 oz) package semi sweet chocolate morsels
1/2 cup chopped nuts (I use pecans)

Preheat oven to 400 degrees F. Line a cookie sheet with aluminum foil; spray with non stick cooking spray. Line the cookie sheet with saltine crackers.

Bring butter and brown sugar to boil for 3 minutes. Once mixture is boiled 3 minutes, pour over top of crackers.

Bake for 8 minutes at 400 degrees F.

Remove from oven and pour entire package of chocolate chips over top and let sit for 5 minutes. Once chocolate chips are soft spread all over the top. Sprinkle chopped nuts over the chocolate.

Recipe states to let side 12 hours then break into pieces. My family can't wait 12 hours so I put mine in freezer for 2 hours, then break up into pieces.

Answer 2

Almond Brittle
1 cup unsalted butter, cut into chunks
2 TBSP light corn syrup
2 TBSP water
1 cup sugar
1 cup almonds (walnuts, peanuts and cashews work well too)
Line 15x10x1 pan with parchment paper/foil. Butter the paper well. Mix all ingredients in a 2 quart saucepan. Heat over medium stirring constantly. Allow to get to a full boil and continue stirring until it reaches 290F. Remove from heat and quickly stir in almonds. Pour over prepared pan and allow to cool. Then break into pieces. Store in airtight container.
Cranberry Applesauce
4 cups fresh or frozen cranberries
1 cup water
8 cup sliced, cored and peeled granny smith apples
1 1/2 cups sugar
In a saucepan, pour cranberries and water and cover with lid. Cook over medium until the cranberries are soft (about 20 minutes). Press through sieve/food mill. Return to saucepan. Add apples, cover and simmer 25 minutes more or until apples are more tender (add a little more water if it boils down to quickly) but retain their shape. Add sugar, simmer 5 minutes more, stirring occasionally. Refrigerate or serve warm.
I also serve smoked tamales, briskett, and salmon. Corn on the cobb. Salad. Rolls (so people can make sandwiches too).
