Favorite Holiday Goodies

Pecans roasted with butter and salt.

Pecans roasted with cinnamon-sugar.

Any kind of homemade candy, but the chocolate-covered ones with the centers made of crushed Oreos and cream cheese are excellent.

I love the ghirardelli peppermint bark.

It's the cadbury egg of christmas candy.

kolachkies (spelling varies, but that is how my grandmother spelled it on her recipe)

pizzelles

buttercookies

The 3 staple xmas cookies in my family. Polish, italian and just plain yummy.

My grandmother used to make awesome sausage cheese balls. Great sugar cookies, too.

I love the pizzelles, too. I have a pizzelle iron, but haven't made any in a LONG time.

Holiday flavored M&Ms (mint, and I just tried some that are cherry cordial flavored)

I like kisses, whether they be cheery, cordial ones or otherwise.

How about chocolate-covered cherries?

 

[FLBuff PE]

Yup! I always get a pakage of them in my stocking for Christmas. My dad loves them too.

The best candy I ever had was chocolate-covered cherries in dark chocolate from Fannie May in Chicago.

My wife makes irish car bomb cupcakes. The batter is made with Guiness, a chocolate filling with whiskey, and the icing with baileys.
