The following recipe is a great recipe to freeze, have available for a party.

I made these before Christmas and we are finishing them tonight.

Don't you love seeing a recipe written

in the hand of the recipe owner . . . I do.

By the way, bake these at 350, 15 minutes or so.

The other day I cut some red twig dogwood,

added my grey pine cones, along with a piece of Roseville

and just for fun I am showing you the look on our fireplace mantle.

The red twig look came from an idea I saw here,

ever to cap out our snack night

Seriously . . . the best,
