I first tasted this sweet bread that's served in Germany at Christmastime when my aunt baked and gave us a loaf as a gift, and have loved it ever since. It has almonds, lemon peel and candied fruit. Try giving it in place of fruitcake some time.

In my hurry world, I always lost track of the hour especially when the work has to get done. This has been my life for years being part of the educational world. There are needs to be met both the students and administrators. I usually leave early for work and come home very late because of work again. My loving mother would always remind me of eating but when she's tired of reminding me about it, she just simply put crackers to my spacious shoulder bag. So, every time my stomach feels like crying because of hunger, there is always cracker ready for me to munch. And they are just bought crackers by mother that I may not even welcome its taste sometimes.

This has went on for years and I am just getting used to both the skipping of meals and the crackers. Until I finally decided to try making my own crackers at home so mother won't have to buy every time. These crackers I will share with you are good for snacks by themselves or with dips. The recipe is super easy!

These are easy to make with packaged frozen puff pastry. As a cheaper alternative, use pie pastry. I used to make this for myself whenever I craved something hot and cheesy! They are fine at room temperature but you can also heat them in a toaster oven before eating.
