Crock Pot Meals

Cooking at Christmas can be stressful.  I seem to spend a lot of time in the kitchen cooking.  This year I am determined to prepare as much as I can beforehand so I am free to enjoy myself more.  Crock pot Christmas cooking makes life easier for you.  Also if you cook in your crock pot it frees up room in your oven for other cooking.  You can put your crock pot on in the morning and it cooking slowly during the day.  Cook the dessert in the crock pot and have the oven free for the main meal.

I have two size crock pots and the small one is good for cooking foods such as fondues and dips and even making gifts like chutneys and spiced nuts.  You can even make hot drinks such as cider in your crock pot.  Here is a recipe which I think you will enjoy for your Christmas cooking.

Crock Pot Fondues are easy desserts to make and although it's not really cooking but  is heating, melting  and keeping the mixture hot.  Use a small crock pot or crock pot little dipper.

Chocolate Fondue

Mix together, cover the crock pot and cook on low for 1 hour.  Keep warm. Use marshmallows, fruit chunks and berries or sponge cake to dip.

See Christmas cooking doesnt have to be difficult!
