Alton Brown's 2 minute fudge. uber good and super fast to make"thumbsup"

Ingredients

• 8 ounces unsalted butter, plus more for greasing pan
• 1 cup smooth peanut butter
• 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
• 1 pound powdered sugar

Directions

Combine the butter and peanut butter in a 4-quart microwave-safe bowl and cover with plastic wrap. Microwave for 2 minutes on high. Stir and microwave on high for 2 more minutes. (Use caution when removing this mixture from the microwave, it will be very hot.) Add the vanilla and powdered sugar to the peanut butter mixture and stir to combine with a wooden spoon. The mixture will become hard to stir and lose its sheen. Spread into a buttered 8 by 8-inch pan lined with parchment paper. Fold the excess parchment paper so it covers the surface of the fudge and refrigerate until cool, about 2 hours. Cut into 1-inch pieces and store in an airtight container at room temperature for up to a week.

1 beer
2 cups of wheat chex
2 cups of rice chex
1 shot of your favorite spirit
2 cups of corn chex
2 cups of pretxel sticks
1 beer
1 cup of mixed nuts
1 stick of salted butter melted with:
worchestershesheireshershire sauce
garlic powder
onion powder
season salt


Preheat oven to 250*, mix your cereal in a big turkey pan along with melted butter seasoning mix. Drink beer while you stir the mix. Place in oven for 15 minutes. Drink beer while waiting. Remove from the oven, stir and put it back in the oven for another 15 minutes. Drink more beer while waiting. remove from oven , stir again and put it back in the oven for the last 15 minute round. Drink a shot and chase it with a beer. Cover your kitchen counter or a table with paper towels, pour out the hot mix after the last 15 minute interval. Drink beer and eat mix. The soggy pieces are the best. Hopefully there will be some left over for your family and friends. If not, that's cool too.

Tortilla Soup

Well this isn't really christmas specific but it's amazing.

My Tortilla soup recipe family made by me (Im 14)


2 big boxes of swanson chicken broth
2 large cans organic Muir Glen fire roasted tomatoes-chopped (I've found these are the best)
1 red pepper
1 white onion
1lb chicken breast ( I usually use 3)
1 pack chorizo mexican sausage-LA Banderita Chorizo Fino (or can use vegitarian chorizo and it will be less greasey)
Diced garlic-i use 2 medium sized cloves
1/3 cup cholula hot sauce- I've found this adds best with other ingredients yet will still make your nose run
1 bag red potatoes

Chop chicken up
saute chicken, chorizo, onion, pepper and garlic.

In a LARGE pot put broth, Tomatoes, potatoes, hot sauce, sauted items and bring to a boil, then simmer.
Cook till potatoes are done.

Can garnish with sour cream, shredded cheese, tortilla chips, or hot sauce.
