That's the way I like it, David! :) Or just right out of the carton. Usually have one carton (quart) per Christmas. It's sooooo rich; I can't drink a lot of it.

This is my favorite addition to eggnog -- I get it for birthdays or Valentine's day once in awhile:
Meletti is an Italian chocolate liqueur that's basically alcoholic chocolate syrup; great with eggnog or hot chocolate.

My favorite is the white bean and artichoke dip.

Or brandy. ;D
The egg nog and ice cream sounds pretty good!

This was my Saturday morning fun...this year was 217 bags for $7.00/bag - the prices of the ingredients increased somewhat, from what they say.

I don't think I posted the recipe last year. This makes a very large tray, so you probably want to quarter it, minimum, or you'll be rotating cookie sheets in and out of your oven all day.
I gave some away last year and had much of the rest atop yogurt.
It also saved my bacon because I was supposed to show up somewhere with a dessert, and I ran out of time.
My friend Colleen had sent me apple pie filling she had canned that was ultra-yummy. So I spread that out in a casserole dish and added this for topping. Heated it up and - apple crisp! People seemed to like it.
If I make this at home, I believe I will vary the nuts some and either use golden raisins or chocolate chips or craisins.
14 cups rolled oats
2.5 cups cashews
1.5 cups sunflower seeds
1 cup flour
2 tsp salt
1.25 cups honey
1.5 cups canola oil
2 tsp vanilla
1.5 cups raisins
Mix dry ingredients.
Add wet ingredients and stir well.
Spread loosely on cookie sheet(s).
Bake, turning every 10 minutes, until uniformly brown. (There's controversy about the temperature - between 350 and 450 degrees Fahrenheit - I believe 450 gives you browner, crunchier granola.)
Cool and add raisins.
