Fun and Easy Nutcracker Crunch

When it comes to holiday office parties, family dinners, and school events, the months of November and December can become a blur. That's why having a quick snack option is great to have on hand when there are gifts to be given. Not to mention, a sweet treat does not have to be dusted after Christmas!

The following recipe comes from my Crunch of the Nutcracker novella, featuring the characters from my "Slice of Life Mystery" series.

Start by mixing all ingredients on the list, except for the chocolate wafers and the sprinkles. Next, melt the Ghirardelli wafers per the instructions on the bag. Pour the melted chocolate over the items in the bowl and mix to coat evenly. Then, place wax paper on a tray and dump the mixture onto the paper. Spread the mixture out and lightly shake the sprinkles/nonpareils all over. Let cool in the refrigerator. Break them up into chunks and store in airtight containers.

Makes 6 - 8 servings.
