Filly Fudge

Recipe by: Jan Royce

INGREDIENTS:

2 pkg. (6 oz.) Cream cheese, softened
1/4 c Margarine or butter, softened (1/2 stick)
1 tsp. Vanilla
1/4 tsp. Salt
1 cup Cocoa
2 lbs. (2 boxes) Powdered sugar
Coconut
Nuts-chopped


Let cream cheese and butter sit in bowl until room temperature or soft. Add other ingredients except coconut and nuts. Mix. It is easiest to mix with your fingers. It will be real messy at first but as it mixes in, the mixture will clean off the bowl and your fingers. When mixed, you can either roll into individual balls or into a long roll. Then roll the individual balls or long roll into coconut or nuts or you can mix it right into the mixture. If you are doing individual balls you could also add a cherry or an individual nut half on top or any other topping that you like. Be creative. Refrigerate for at least 3-4 hours. Keep cold. If you saved any chocolate papers I.E. See’s chocolates, you can place the individual balls in those. The long rolls you can place on a plate, slice and serve. Keep any left overs, if there are any in the refrigerator.

"Show-Off" Salad

Recipe by: Chelsea Christensen

- Romaine lettuce, torn
- Fresh strawberries (sliced)
- 2 small cans of chilled mandarin oranges (drained)
- Red onion (diced)
- Sliced Swiss Cheese (torn into bite size pieces)
- Fresh Bacon Bits
- Feta cheese
- “Emerald’s Pecan Pie Pecans” (a green bag in the nut section of the grocery store) – sugar coated pecans
- “Brianna’s Poppy Seed Dressing” (glass jar), chilled

Use a large salad bowl. Put the romaine lettuce in the bowl so it filled half to ¾ full (depending on how many people you are feeding). You will be arranging the ingredients like a “pie” shape. There will be 7 “pieces of pie” arranged around the top of the salad. Don't mix the ingredients until right before serving. Once you are ready to eat, toss in the chilled salad dressing with the salad and serve immediately!
