Ice Box Fruit Cake
Think Rice Krispie Treat with a Holiday Twist for this delicious treat. The “icebox” part means you don’t have to bake it.
1 Bag (16oz) Chopped Pecans
2 Cups (12oz) Seedless Raisins
1 Cup (7oz) Baker Angel Flake Coconut
1 Jar (10oz) Maraschino Cherries (Drained and cut in half, Save the juice)
1 Can (14oz) Eagle Brand Condensed Milk
1 Bag (10oz) Large Marshmallows
- Red and Green Candied cherries, or 8 oz. of mixed candied fruit instead of the Maraschino cherries
- melt one stick of butter in the juice of the cherries with 30 large marshmellows instead of Condensed Milk.
In a double broiler add in the condensed milk, cherry juice and marshmallows. When marshmallows have melted down add into your dry mixture slowly adding a bit than mixing and then adding a bit. (My hubby usually does this part for me and puts on disposable gloves)
Take a 9×13-inch baking dish (or 2 loaf pans) and line the bottom and sides with wax paper. Lightly spray wax paper with nonstick cooking spray. Place mixture into loaf pans and pack down. Can add whole pecans and some cherry halves for decoration on top. Fold top of wax paper down and cover with tin foil and put in frig to set.
When ready to serve just pull out using wax paper and cut into slices!!!! You can also put it into little single loaf pans, or boxes from dollar store just put in wax paper first so no sticking!! Keep in frig when not serving.
