Can't tell you how much I have missed fruit cake. My mother had a recipe (that I now have) that made 11 pounds. It was mixed in the dishpan! I could never understand why people developed such an aversion to it. To me it represented the holiday season and yummy gifts for friends - never mind that we were still eating it in February. So these mini's will be great to add to the holiday cookie assortment. Just have to cut down and make a half recipe (in muffin papers - great idea) so I'm not finishing them for Easter!!
