Fruitcake

Fabulous ice box ease
Fruit dried, sticky so sweet
Folded into Graham's
Famous brown cracker crumbs
Finely chopped nuts~yum! yum!
Famished come visit, stay
Fainthearted go away  

Use sweetened condensed milk as a binder
Place a sheet of waxed paper into the Graham Cracker box
place the mixed ingredients into the box to form a rectangle
cover tightly with some type of cling wrap and let set up  in 
the refrigerator for at least overnight..

You can add~~ marshmallows(miniture ones), maraschino cherries with some of their liquid if a can of condensed milk isn't enough to moisten the crackers..You can use raisins, or other dried fruits if you like..I use those dried candied pineapple and cherries available at Christmas so it will be very colorful..Originally I used Brazil Nuts for the nuts and it does add a very nice flavor..It needs a cup of nuts, about two cups of the dried fruits..

Hey there, Georgia Girl. I will try this one this week. It sounds as good as Claxton Fruit Cakes. I'm only a few miles from that famous little town.

Much better than Claxton's Fruit Cakes..It has more moisture..Sara

Not even baked just so easy..The cracker box is a perfect fit for the cake but be sure to wrap it very well before refrigeration..It has to be kept in the refrigerator..Thanks for dropping by..Sara
