Marshmallow Fruitcake

No Bake Fruit Cake

Christmas Fruitcake is one of those things that a lot of people turn up their nose at, but this No Bake Fruitcake recipe is actually really delicious, made primarily with graham crackers, butter, and marshmallows! It's one of my favorite treats at Christmas and I think you'll love it too.
