Every year right after Thanksgiving we start making candies and cookies to give away at Christmas.
We had done our Black Friday shopping as you can tell by the new computer in the background. Mark was stripping wallpaper and Colton and I were dipping pretzels and baking.
My baking included date snowballs and 7-layer bars. I took the snowballs to Marks family and noone would eat them because they heard the word date in the name. His dad finally tried one and said they were yummy. They are yummy and they don't really taste like dates.
Now check out some of the cutest things in the world - santas and snowmen made out of nutter butters. These puppies were pretty messy to make and there was a whole lot of lickin' going on here. You can tell by Colton's mouth in this one that he had just got done licking some of his fingers off. No one would fess up but there was plenty of white lips on the boys!
I was busy making peppernuts which are always delicious. They take forever but are so worth it when the cinnamon crunchy-ness is melting in your mouth.
Each year I try to make something new to see if I like it enough to make it the next year. I tried something from Tasty Kitchen - which is a great site if you are looking for recipes. These were gingerbread cookies with the peppermint hershey kisses on them. The gingerbread was a little hard but the hershey kisses were great! :) They won't make the round of baking next year but I will find a use for the peppermint crunch kisses!
You can never go wrong with white chocolate covered party mix. So Yummy and so easy! Just take your favorite chex mix items (cheerios, chex, pretzels) and cover it with white chocolate. Then as we call it you sprinkle it with love with some red and green m&m's.
See - Finger Lickin' Good!
