Christmas Punch
5 minutes | Serves 14
I’ve made this drink for holidays and other special occasions. The almond extract gives this traditional party punch a unique flavor. It’s easy to quickly throw together, and looks so pretty in a pitcher. Add a little rum for an adults-only version.
What You’ll Need:
- 6 cups cranberry juice, chilled (use a juice blend that has other fruits in it, such as grape, pomegranate, and apple)
- 3 cups pineapple juice, chilled
- 1 tablespoon almond extract
- 3 liters ginger ale, chilled
- 1 12 oz. bag of fresh cranberries (optional)
- 2 fresh limes, sliced (optional)
How To Make It:
- Pour cranberry juice, pineapple juice, and almond extract into a large drink dispenser and mix
- Pour in the ginger ale and stir, but don’t stir too much or the ginger ale will go flat
- Add the cranberries and limes
- Add ice if the ingredients weren’t already chilled
Enjoy!
Ice Cube Tray Truffles
10 minutes | Makes 13 Chocolates
What You’ll Need:
- 1 30 oz. bag of Ghirardelli Chocolate Melting Wafers (milk or dark chocolate)
- Various fillings, such as fresh fruit, nuts, pretzels, marshmallows, crushed candy canes, or peanut butter
- Silicone ice cube mold from your Very Merry Martin box
- Microwave-safe bowls
How To Make It:
- Empty bag of chocolate into a glass or silicone bowl
- Microwave for 30 seconds, stir, and repeat until chocolate is melted
- Spoon a small amount of chocolate into the bottom of each mold, maybe 1/4″ thick
- Add your fillings. In these photos, we used fresh raspberries, peanuts, and marshmallows. Don’t add too much, or you won’t be able to cover it up!
- Evenly distribute the remaining chocolate into each mold so that the fillings are completely covered
- Chill for 20 minutes or until chocolate is fully solidified
- Pop the chocolates out of the mold, pushing out from the bottom
Enjoy!
