Something Sweet for Justin

I realize that Justin can't eat nuts, so here is a very easy Christmas recipe that looks great and tastes good, too.

Christmas Candy

1 (10 ounce) package vanilla baking chips (Our store sells 12 ounce packages -- same thing.)
2 teaspoons vegetable oil
1 1/2 cup mini candy-coated chocolate pieces
You can use mini-M&M's or whatever. I used mini-Hershey Kissables-- which aren't so "mini", so you could get away with regular M&M's. Multicolored makes it nice, but for Christmas, you may want to use only red and green.
Line a baking pan with waxed paper or foil. In a microwave safe bowl combine vanilla chips and vegetable oil. Microwave on high until chips are melted. Stir until smooth; let cool for 2 minutes. Stir in candy-coated chocolate pieces. Spread mixture onto prepared pan; chill for 10 minutes and break into pieces. (Spread it fairly thin so that it breaks into pieces more easily.)

See? It's a snap, looks good and will disappear quickly.
