Mini Christmas Fruitcakes

While pre-made fruit cakes purchased at the grocery store might not live up to your expectations, these Mini Christmas Fruitcakes surely will. Boozy, fruity and filled with warming spices, they're the perfect treat to arrive at any holiday gathering with. Their individual and convenient size make them an excellent edible gift, and they don't need to "cure" for months as traditional fruit cake does.To create the ideal fruitcake flavor, you'll want to toast the nuts before adding them to the recipe. To toast the nuts to perfection, begin by spreading them out onto a baking sheet and baking them in the oven at 325F until they are fragrant and a light brown color (5-8 minutes). Set aside to cool. When stored in an air-tight container, the finished fruit cakes will keep at room temperature for about 1 week. When frozen, they will last up to 1 month.
