I am coming out of the closet. Yes, I watch the Bachelor! I know, it is not an example of the finest television programming. The worst part (actually the best part) is that it is so important that I get together with a group of girls ---yes every Monday night to watch the Bachelor. We must have been pretty desperate for reality TV (really each others company) that we got together to watch Mama's Boy last night. All I can say is OH MY, I think we are in for some drama. However, they are going to put it back to back with the Bachelor--YIKES. What is a girl to do? It might take some smooth channel flipping but we will get our fill of drama.
When we gather for this guilty pleasure we have a few cocktails and appetizers! So I thought Frozen Tumbleweeds would be the perfect Christmas gift for these girls.
They are really simple to make and so delicious! The recipe is from my sister-in-law.
Frozen Tumbleweeds
1 5qt container of vanilla ice cream (softened)
2 1/2 cups coffee liqueur (Kahlua, I am on a budget so I used Kamora )
2 1/2 cups creme de cacao (Hiram Walker)
3 - half gallon buckets (I found these at Wal-Mart)
Mix all ingredient in a huge bowl. I used a hand held electric mixer. Fill the buckets and now you are ready to label.
I put a label on the top telling what is in the bucket and that it needs to be kept in the freezer and must be stirred before serving.
If you would like the labels I used you may download them. I printed them on 1-up label paper I purchased in individual sheets from the copy store (Kinko's) and cut out on the gray line.
Then on the front I put a greeting from our family. I have made these labels so you can download them and then change the area that says who the gift is from. Click your cursor over that area and you should be able to customize the labels (I am crossing my fingers that this works)
Customizeable May your Holiday be Merry Label Download
Enjoy!

Thanks for stopping by today!
These are THE BEST!! Love the labels too — perfect finish for a great gift. Your friends will love you!
Oh man, if that isn’t right up my inlaw’s alley. I know what I’m bringing to Christmas!
do you drink these or eat them? they sound good regardless!
Oh WOW! The labels just nail it–beautiful.
Except, with my in-laws, I would label them “Slur-ries,” hand them over with a big cand-cane grin, and let ‘em wonder what I meant, exactly.
Oh my heavens, this is just awesome! Planning to make this and take it to the neighbor’s Christmas party on Saturday. Oh, and the labels are perfection!!!
Wow these are awesome!
I watched Mam’s boys last night and am hooked. I am going to have to get the dvr working over time when Bachelor comes on.
These look super yummy and adorable. We are having a girls’ weekend in January — I will definitely keep this recipe!
I love this idea!!!! And so great for Girls’ Nite Out!! (or In)
Okay, while we are bringing out dirty secrets — my friends called that show about 300 times to get me on as a bachelorette. Needless to say, hollywood hasn’t called yet.
LOVE your Christmas idea!
As soon as school is out I am going to get busy making these fun gifts! What a great idea!!!
What a cute idea. I just may have to steal this one (but I will give you credit
) for some of my friends at work – they always love to party – and after hours parties even allow “alcohol” on premises. Gotta love working for a smaller company.
That sounds really good. We are going to have to try that. Love the labels
They sound delicious! I can’t wait for The Bachelor to start, either!
I made these Frozen Tumbleweeds for gifts and I am hoping someone will let me try some of theirs. I only made 3 half gallon buckets.
Wal Mart was out of the gallon size.
Thanks so much for the recipe!
Wonderful recipe!
