Last recipe of the year!

Quick, easy, delicious, and season appropriate, even if the lack of snow makes it unnecessary where I live.

I love The Polar Express. I saw it for the first time by accident, I was on a summer camp field trip (you know, when they play reruns of movies cheap in the summer for camp groups?) and we were meant to watch either Rugrats or Jimmy Neutron, I can’t recall, but my uncle (a chaperone) took us into the wrong theater and we saw The Polar Express instead.

I thought this was a good Christmas-y recipe for my third and last of the month.

Let me know what you think, and how it turns out if you make it!
