Slashfood Ate (8): Must-have holiday treats

We already had a brief discussion about the worst holiday foods and responses included canned cranberry sauce and fruitcake. But it's no fun to dwell on the negatives when you're supposed to be celebrating and spending time with your family, so why not think about the best holiday treats instead? What are those foods that you look forward to all year?

When it comes to store bought treats, peppermint bark and chocolate covered graham crackers always seem to be readily available, but the best holiday foods come from home. Here are some suggestions from around the blogosphere for holiday favorites that should make your menu this year:

One thing which takes it over the top is the primary ingredients, below, because they are pretty much in equal portions -- apples to celery to walnuts to marshmallows.

Chopped Apples
Chopped Walnuts
Chopped Celery
Mini Marshmallows
Raisins

Toss to combine, stir in roughly half a container of creamy style coolwhip, a cup or more of mayo, and the grated rind of one orange, and toss to coat. Chill thoroughly and serve.

Simply mix together a large can of fruit cocktail (drained), a small can of condensed milk, a can of fresh or cubed (drained) pineapple, a can of cherry pie filling and a small tub of Cool Whip (defrosted) in a large bowl. Cover and refrigerate for 6 hours. Stir and eat. Delightful.
