This melty, cheesy dip is loaded with ham and caramelized onions for a snack that you don't want to miss!&nbsp;

Hot Ham and Cheese Dip

onion (finely diced)

Melt the butter in a medium skillet over medium heat. Stir in the onions and continue cooking, stirring occasionally, until onions are soft and golden.

Add the remaining ingredients and, with the heat still on low, continue stirring until everything is well combined.

You've never seen prettier little bites than these Cake Balls from Delish.com.

Chocolate-Covered Cake Balls

Cooking spray

cake mix,

c. (1 1/2 sticks butter), softened

c. sugar

heavy cream

pure vanilla extract

kosher salt

c. white chocolate chips

c. semi-sweet chocolate chips

tbsp. coconut oil, divided

Sprinkles,

The actual cake balls tasted super good... but there was too much frosting compared to cake, so it took a while for these to harden and the texture wasn't quite right. I recommend decreasing the amount of frosting or increasing the amount of cake by just a little bit. Oh, also I used cake that isn't very sweet, if you use cake that is really sugary then you should only add about 2 cups of powdered sugar to the frosting mix. The way I did it, with bittersweet chocolate to coat it and a not-so-sweet cake balanced it out perfectly. If I had used white chocolate, it would have been too sweet, so pay attention to that. Awesome recipe, ratios could use a bit of review and dessert is on the sweet side.

pay attention to this recipe! I tried making it, and instead of putting the 3c of powdered sugar in the frosting, I put it in the batter. I bet they would’ve tasted great without that mistake.

It was amazing, and a big hit in my house!

it came out okay for my first time i will say tho i had way too much frosting left over and bc of that i thought i did something wrong if i put all the frosting in it it would have been soup good thing i stopped in enough to not ruin it but it did end up a lil mushy i know next time what consistincy i want alsoooo if you have to mix everything by hand it take wayyyy more time in total it took me 5 hours..........

These American-style crisp chicken pieces are the perfect laid-back food to share, great for a movie night

Buffalo wings with blue cheese dip

tbsp butter

James Martin gives the traditional treacle tart a Christmassy twist

Stem ginger & treacle tart

pack sweet shortcrust pastry

golden syrup

breadcrumbs

½ tsp ground ginger

eggs

6-8 balls stem ginger

vanilla ice cream

Roll out the pastry on a lightly floured surface until big enough to line a 23cm fluted tart case, about 3cm deep. Line the tin with the pastry and fold the overhang over the sides. Chill for 30 mins.

Heat oven to 200C/180C fan/gas 6. Line the tart with greaseproof paper and baking beans. Bake blind for 20 mins. Remove the beans and paper and bake for 10 mins more until the pastry is pale golden and sandy.

Meanwhile, mix the golden syrup, breadcrumbs, lemon zest and juice, ground ginger and eggs together. Once the pastry is ready, lower the oven to 160C/140C fan/gas 3. Using a small serrated knife, carefully trim the edges, then tip in the treacle mixture and bake for 55 mins-1 hr until the filling is golden and crisp, and feels set to the touch.

When the tart comes out of the oven, arrange the ginger slices over the top. Drizzle with some syrup from the ginger jar, then lift from the tin to a serving plate and serve warm with vanilla ice cream or custard.

James uses the steam-roast method to cook his Christmas ham, so you don't need an enormous pan to boil it in

Sticky treacle-glazed ham

3.5-4kg/7lb 10 ounces-9lb boned rolled piece unsmoked ham

oranges

tbsp English mustard

black treacle

bay leaves and orange segments, to serve (optional)

If you need to soak the ham, do so the night before. Heat oven to 180C/fan 160C/gas 4. Place the ham, skin-side up, in a deep roasting tin, then add enough water to cover the base of the tin. Scatter the orange wedges and cinnamon stick around. Cover the pan with a tight tent of foil, then cook the ham for about 2½ hrs. (If using a different weight of ham, you want 20 mins per 450g.)

While the ham is cooking, mix the mustard, treacle and orange zest together with enough orange juice to make a mixture loose enough to paint over the ham.

When the ham has had its time, remove the roasting tin from the oven and turn up the heat to 220C/ fan 200C/gas 7. Remove the foil, leave the ham until cool enough to handle, then pour away any liquid in the tin. Using a sharp knife, carefully cut away the skin to leave an even layer of fat. Use the tip of the knife to score the ham fat diagonally at 3cm intervals – first in one direction, then the other, to produce a diamond pattern. Liberally paint the glaze over the fat, then stud with the cloves at the points of the diamond shapes.

Roast the ham for 30 mins until glazed and just beginning to char around the edges. Leave to cool and serve warm or cold, decorated with the bay and orange wedges, if you like, along with my delicious green bean salad and your favourite chutney.

This glamorous dessert makes the perfect festive centrepiece for a posh Christmas party
