Tom and Jerry Batter
The Tom and Jerry drink is a holiday favorite in my family. The batter makes an excellent topping for both alcoholic cocktails as well as hot cocoa, eggnog, or warm milk for the kids. The batter can be frozen or kept in the refrigerator for several weeks.

Chocolate-Dipped Coconut Macaroons
Even first-time cookie makers can pull off super moist, tender, chewy macaroons. Using sweetened condensed milk streamlines the operation and produces a very nice texture. Simple to make and easy to transport, these are the ultimate cookies to bring to any potluck. Just stick an almond inside each macaroon if you want to relive that chocolate-coated coconut-filled candy bar of your childhood.
