| At our house, our Christmas Party is celebrated around January 6, Epiphany. Not only is this the day the three Kings came to visit Jesus, it is also Twelfth Night, the traditional end of the holiday season. We celebrate by having a Pot-Luck Dessert and Champagne Party. It’s always a huge hit, sometimes with over 100 people coming.
It’s so fun because everyone brings treats, we don’t have to do huge amounts of cooking, and we never have conflicts with other parties. I leave all my Christmas decorations up until after the party, so everything sparkles with Christmas long after most folks have taken down the tree. I like that this keeps the spirit of Christmas going until the season is over in the Church. It also is a wonderful way to celebrate a special, and often overlooked, day. Everyone in the house invites people, so it is a real family event. Some years, my kids’ friends are still here well after midnight and watching a movie. These bars are one of our favorites for the party. Janet Perry |
| Ingredients |
| 1 1/2 c graham cracker crumbs 1 stick butter, melted 1 c chocolate chips 1 c white chocolate chips 1 c pecan pieces 1 c coconut 1 can sweetened condensed milk |
| Step by Step |
| Preheat oven to 350 F 1) Mix crumbs and butter in a bowl. 2) Press this mixture into a greased 9″x13″ pan. 3) Sprinkle on both kinds of chips, then pecan, then coconut. 4) Pour on condensed milk in an even layer 5) Bake 20-30- minutes until golden on top. 6) Let cool before cutting and removing from pan. HINT : These cookies can look very fancy if you trim off the edges before cutting into bars. This removes the more done edges (and let’s you eat them!). |
