Table of Contents: Kentucky Colonels Apple Marshmallow Cake Honey Snaps Molten Lava Cakes
_______________________________________ Kentucky Colonels 1/2 cup real butter 1 pound powdered sugar 1/2 cup pecans (or your fave nuts) soaked overnight in 6 tablespoons bourbon whiskey Dipping chocolate or white chocolate ( I buy the break apart squares) Soak nuts. Next day cream butter & sugar well. Add nut & whiskey mixture. Shape into 1 inch round balls. Place on cookie sheet and put in freezer until firm. Melt the chocolate (double boiler or electric chocolate warmer or microwave.) Using a toothpick, dip each ball until covered. Place on wax paper until the chocolate hardens. Put them in a sealed tin or Tupperware and refrigerate. Makes about 50 candies. Hint to make more festive you can finely chop red and green candied cherries and add at the point when you add the nuts. Just a few will give the color. For those who do not want alcohol, substitute milk or maybe eggnog and don't soak the nuts, just add all together. _______________________________________ APPLE MARSHMALLOW CAKE 3 cups all-purpose flour 2 cups sugar 3 tsp baking powder 1/2 tsp salt 1 1/4 cups vegetable oil 1 tsp pineapple extract 1 tsp vanilla extract 3 eggs, lightly beaten 1 cup crushed pineapple 1 cup mini-marshmallows 2 cups peeled, cored, finely chopped apples 8 oz chopped dates 3 1/2 oz can flaked coconut 1 cup chopped pecans Preheat oven to 325*F.

Form into 1-inch balls, roll in granulated sugar, and place on cookie sheet about 2 inches apart. Flatten each ball slightly with your thumb.
