MMmmmmm..... I'd chop them and add them to chocolate plops.
White, dark, and milk chocolate, mixed together in a can with some
shortbread cookies makes a wonderful Christmas gift. :-) My mom used
to make a good fruitcake, but it's become so much of a joke now that
few people will actually eat the stuff. Unfortunately. Made right,
they are good sliced and toasted and buttered! Mom made them in a
bread pan so this could be done.

I used to have a humorous fruitcake recipe that makes the internet
rounds every Christmas, but it must be on the backup disk from my old
computer. :-) My sister did not load everything into this one when she
installed it for me... If I can find it, I'll share it.
