In Scandinavia there's a Christmas tradition that involves hiding an almond in a bowl of rice mush. All of the children get a bowl of the warm breakfast meal, and the one who finds the almond in his/her bowl wins! The prize is a marzipan pig. Marzipan is almonds ground up to make a paste, then sweetened to make a treat.
So last year and again this year we bought some marzipan at IKEA and I made a pig. This is the 2012 edition. I'm not sure anyone will be brave enough to eat it, but he does look kind of cute.
