Have you heard of these chicks before? I hadn’t until a few weeks ago. It was really kind of a weird little coincidence. I was in the bookstore picking up Pioneer Woman Cookbooks for a recent giveaway and my eyes locked in on a book called The Farm Chicks in the Kitchen. Loved the title and the design, but because I was over my limit on books for the day, make that month, all I did was thumb through the pages really quickly before I made myself leave.
But then, just two days later I received an email from none other than Serena, one of THE Farm Chicks. Seriously. Out of the blue. Two days later. Does stuff like that happen to you, too? Strange coincidences? It does to me all the time.
(Hmmm… The Pioneer Woman and The Farm Chicks. That’s kinda weird, too. Okay, I’m moving to the country.)
Anyway, it was a really short email message that said she wanted to send me something.
Curious, I said, ok. (I like surprises.)
And boy was I surprised when several days later I received a package full of all of these sweet, sweet gift tags.
Some with little cakes.
And others with sweet messages.
Plus there were all these fun recipe cards. (Forgive me for the extra blurriness. I was playing with different settings on my camera.)
Some even had Christmas themes.
I had no idea they had all these cute products plus a cookbook. Impressive.
Speaking of their book, I had to run out to the bookstore and get it right away.
Wish I had seen this before trying to make a pie last week. Could have come in handy.
The Farm Chicks love some pie. And the book has several yummy ones like this.
Plus, it has fun, do-it-yourself projects throughout. I’ve never made scones, but if I do, I want a scone cozy to go with them. Cozy scones. Yes. I want my scones to be cozy. Adorableness. Cuteness doesn’t quite cut it here.
Hi Serena. Thanks for sending me all the fun stuff. I love it.
Especially the necklace.
Oh, I forgot to tell you guys about the necklace. Well, it has a cake on the front of it and it’s just darling.
See.
And, since Serena sent me two of them… well…
Would you like one? Then, we can both look super cute, adorned in cake.
I’ll even throw in some of my gift tags and recipe cards, too. I’m a sharer.
(necklace, recipe cards and gift tags)

Fudge.
I always look forward to my aunt’s peanut butter balls. She makes them with coconut and nuts mixed in with the peanut butter and they are yummy!!
For the past several years I’ve made these awesome Fat Santa Cookies. They’re colored sugar cookies rolled into little balls and flattened together so its a Santa who’s eaten all of his cookies and is stuffed at the end of Christmas night!
My fave is def. caramel and chocolate dipped pretzels. I will and have been known to eat like 20 in a sitting (hey… they’re small).
Favorite Xmas treat? Hands down…Nanaimo Bars! (maybe it’s because I actually grew up in Nanaimo, BC?) I only make them at Christmas and mine are getting almost as good as my Mom’s!
I totally NEED cake bling! Pick me!
homemade ice cream! crank style. hard work, but totally worth it.
mmmm, can’t wait!
My favorite Christmas time treat is Gingerbread! I love to decorater gingerbread cookies and make gingerbread houses!
Thanks for sharing!
Chris

I love my mom’s No Bake Cookies (the chocolate, peanut butter, oatmeal kind, mmmmm!)…it isn’t quite Christmas time with out them…I seriously can eat my weight in these things! LOL
My favorite Christmas dessert is by far Red Velvet Cheesecake, made by none other than my mom.. it’s DELICIOUS!!!
I love (and make) killer almond toffee. It is super easy and just the best treat at Christmas time!
Chocolate chip cookies with walnuts are my favorite. I so am going out and getting this book it looks so cute.
Well, I don’t celebrate christmas, but I’ve always had a softspot for gingerbread cookies. Love the taste and love the look :)
alizap@hotmail.com
Having grown up in the Buckeye State, it’s always a certainty that my family will make delicious buckeyes to devour and to share with family and friends. In fact, we get together about a week before Christmas and bake all day long, then put together packages of our goodies to give out. So much fun!
Love the Farm Chicks! I also love good old homemade sugar cookies and fudge during the holidays.
My favorite Christmas dessert has to be fudge, chocolate fudge. It is usually the only time of year I let myself indulge.
My favorite Christmas sweet are Italian almond nugut candies that my mother-in-law makes. I think they have honey in them also, and they just melt in your mouth!
The Farm Girls cookbook looks Very interesting! Thanks for sharing!!
My mom and I make candy to give to our neighboors and friends. There is something so special about candy, it’s sometimes easier than baked goods, but it has such a fun mytique to it! My very favorite? Peanut Butter Balls!
I love my grandmother’s strawberry salad. It’s a jello concoction with strawberries, bananas, and pecans…yummy!
Thanks for the give-away! You’re the best!
Cookies!
Apple pie, of course!
Hi Bakerella!!
Since I’m from Brasil and the weather is really hot here on Christmas I like to bake a chocolate cheesecake and eat it cool. Is great!
Thanks for the wonderful recipes and giveaways! :)
Pecan Pie! Either traditional or with chocolate – I’m not picky. :)
My favorite Christmas treat are my mom’s alfajores with dulce de leche. My mom is from Bolivia so we combine our american traditions with our south american ones. We also make “llauchas”, which are, I guess, cheese turnovers. They are served with “api”, a purple-corn warm drink. A Bolivian hot chocolate, if you will. Dang, now I’m hungry.
peanut butter buckeyes! my boyfriend’s mom makes the best ones and only around the holidays!!
My favorite dessert at Christmas is caramel popcorn balls. They aren’t fancy but they are sooo good and remind me of Christmas with my grandparents.
It doesn’t matter what the holiday – chocolate cake is ALWAYS my favorite!
Cupcakes with festive Xmas decos!
My absolute favorite is snickerdoodles! Yuummy!
emmas.momma03@gmail.com
Homemade fudge & iced sugar cookies!!
Spritz cookies made for my Norwegian boyfriend =)
Truffles! So yummy.
Pumpkin pie has always been my dessert staple, but I have to say even more important than that is raspberry pretzel salad. (It’s basically this, only made with raspberry: http://www.foodnetwork.com/recipes/paula-deen/strawberry-pretzel-salad-recipe/index.html )
My favorite Christmas treat ia iced gingerbread cookies. Yummy!
My favorite Christmas dessert is peppermint bark. I especially love it made with white chocolate and green and red brickle.
Oh my I am going to have to get that cookbook and check out there stuff….so cool! Thanks!
My favorite??? That is really hard to pick..hmmmm I love a good, soft decorated sugar cookie made by my kiddos. Although I love most sweets. lol
Ribbon cookies!
HandsandnailsATsbcglobalDOTnet
Mmm…Chistmas baking. Red and green almond bars, chocolate dipped pretzels, peppermint fluff cookies… Can’t go wrong with that.
Marble cream cheese pie! My mom made it all the time for all special occasions and I started making it for everything too. It is the best thing EVER.
My favorite Christmas dessert became my favorite last year. My mother-in-law of 2 months made it…Apple Cream Cheese Dessert. What’s great is that it’s so simple and yet so delicious (especially for the non-chocolate lovers).
If you are interested:
Apple Cream Cheese Dessert
2 cans of the large cresent rolls
2 pkgs cream cheese
1 cup sugar
1 tsp vanilla
1 21 oz can apple pie filling (2 if desired)
1 stick melted butter
cinnamon and sugar mixed
Unroll one can cresent rolls and lay flat in ungreaed 9 x 13″ pan. Mix cream cheese, vanilla, and sugar with mixer until creamy. Spread over cresent roll layer. Arrange apples and filling over the cream cheese mixture. Top with 2nd can unrolled cresent rolls to form top crust. Pour melted butter on top of crust. Sprinkle with sugar and cinnamon mixture. Bake at 350 degrees for 30 to 35 minutes or until golden brown on top.
Happy Holidays :)
My mom makes pies only during the holidays so I always look forward to her apple and pumpkin pies. If I am making holiday dessert though, it’s all about the soft ginger cookies and snickerdoodles!
My very favorite is a molasses “cooky” from 1940. yummmm
Those recipes cards are way cute!
My favorite memory is a smell. My Grandmother would come to spend Christmas with us..and she would bake dinner rolls..the smell of warm yeast and baking bread will forever by my Christmas smell.
My favorite indulgence during the holiday is actully a drink… i love drinking eggnog during the holiday and only during the holiday!!!
My favorite Christmas treat is homemade chocolate truffles. But now that I’ve seen your directions for cake balls I think I’ll be doing those this year. I absolutely love your website and I LOVE the FarmChicks too!
Potato Balls ( I know they don’t sound like sweets but they are!)
One of my favorite Christmas memories is making Potato balls with my mom for christmas. They are made with mashed potato, coconut, various flavorings and icing sugar. You roll the mixture into little balls then freeze them for a day, bring them out and dip them in Chocolate.
Pumpkin pie. Hands down!!
* What’s your favorite sweet or dessert at Christmas?
Chocolate chip cookies!
Mine has to be my grandmother’s Torta di Natale – an Italian Christmas cake of delicate wine – infused pastry studded with honey coated nuts. It looks like a lovely rosette and I make it now that nana is gone. It is more than taste- it is a memory…
Wow.. One favorite will be hard. Here is my favorite “list”…
Fudge (no nuts please)
Peanut Brittle
Cream Cheese Sugar Cookies
Salted Peanut Chews
Aunt Bills Brown Candy
Yum…
My favorite dessert at Christmas has got to be my Grandma’s pineapple upside-down cake. And it’s really quite funny because I don’t even think I like it that much, I just love the tradition, because she has made one for every single Christmas that I can remember. It’s not that it tastes bad, it’s just much too sweet for me. Ha. Although, I think I might have a new favorite as far as taste goes… the pumpkin cheesecake with the pecans and chocolate chips from your post last week. I am strictly a cake baker, and I have never before attempted a pie, because they didnt hold much appeal to me. Boy, was I wrong. It was actually fun for me to make, and tasted amazing. Everyone who has tried it has requested it again. And thank you for opening up my eyes to this whole new world of sweets. I’m sure my butt isn’t too thrilled, but my mouth is awed.
You rock.
Every Christmas my father and I bake sugar cookies. The recipe dates back at least four generations, and there’s no other cookie that melts in my mouth like these. I’m counting down the days until our first batch of the holiday season!
I LOVE peppermint bark. Yum. It’s one of my favorite parts of this season :D
Every year at Christmas I make “Chocolatey Balls of Goodness”. These are similar in taste and texture to cake balls but made with Oreos and cream cheese. Sooooo good! It is a good thing I don’t make them all year round!
Anything pumpkin! I love pumpkin rolls, pumpkin fudge, pumpkin lattes, pumpkin muffins, you name it!
I don’t celebrate Christmas but I always want to try those turkeys 8D~ oh desserts? LOL. errmmm~ I want to try pie!!! Or something fruity (not fruit cake though, urghh). Fruit jelly?
I loooooove bread pudding w/raisins. :)
I’d have to say fudge is my favorite Christmas treat! I’m really not a pie person so cookies and fudge is usually all there is for me to enjoy.
powerspower@att.net
Eggnog lattes from Starbucks.
And homemade fudge.
I love anything gingerbread at Christmastime!…hmm..maybe some gingerbread cake pops would be good…
victorieux@aol.com
I love the cardamom bread with the frosting. Yum – there are raisins sprinkled about in it and the taste is so good! Mom brought me home some cardamom seeds from Turkey – guess who is making it with fresh spice this year!
I love shortbread cookies, mmm buttery goodness!
milk chocolate fudge all hands in is a christmas favorite, and my first 39th birthday tomorrow I wish myself some luck for a fun giveaway to tie on some homemade fudge for the people I share stuff with
rmrobinson@hal-pc.org
buñuelos mmmmmm yummi yummi …
Cookies, cookies and then some more cookies!! Especially Grandma Moog’s Gingersnaps from Penzey’s Spices…mmm…
Well, for me my favorite is pumpkin pie! I love it so very much, and I really should make it more then on Thanksgiving! I also love me some peanut butter cookies. Mmmmmm!
Peppermint bark! Mmm.
Have to have my mom’s buttermilk pie. I made it myself this year for Thanksgiving. Yummm!
I love my Mom’s Christmas Fudge. She gives over 20 tins of it away to friends and family for Christmas. My husband LOVES the German Chocolate Pecan Pie I make too. mmmm.
My favorite holiday dessert is peppermint marshmallows that I make with my family. Yummy by themselves or in hot cocoa or even on top of brownies!
Have to say for Christmas – my favorite treat to make and eat is a peanut butter chocolate toffee dessert.
Christmas cookies – esp. sugar cookies with buttercream icing and candy cane cookies.
I LOVE strufoli on Christmas!
My great-grandmother’s recipe for butterhorns, always eaten on Christmas morning!
I am a big fan of iced sugar cookies. My kids love to decorate them and I love to eat them.
Every Christmas, my mother, makes 12 different kinds of cookies. They are all baked to perfection, and make the house smell amazing for weeks on end.
My childhood favorite, and adult favorite would have to be the peanut butter cookies with the reeses cups in the middle. They are amazing! (best when you stick em in the freezer before devouring them!)
Anyway, that is my favorite! Happy Holidays Bakerella! You are my inspiration!
My favorite christmas cookies are my grandmothers “snowballs”.
They are a melt in your mouth pecan shortbread rolled in powdered sugar.
I make them and think of her.
Thanks for the give away.
Oh the possibilities. I Love to make fun look fun.
I made some awesome chocolate-dipped pretzel sticks for everyone last Christmas, so now my favorite sweet is the peppermint bark ones. Yum!:3
Bring on the Christmas cookies baby! I love them all!
mdoeling@gmail.com
My favorite dessert for holidays would be pecan pie! Just this past Thanksgiving my cousin decided to make a pecan cheesecake pie… that is now my new fav!
I love love LOVE all the christmas cookies that are around every year during the holidays! And this year, I’m baking a ton of goodies as gifts for the family – sweetness all around! =]
– Elissa
Its between iced sugar cookies in the the shape of Christmas treees and stars or the holiday cookie platters that are always out at parties.
My favorite sweet treat is Peanut Blossoms…you know, peanut butter cookies with Hershey Kisses on top. Oh my goodness! I know I could make them all year long, but I save them for Christmas. They seem more special that way!
Looks very cute! I’ll definitely be checking out the site.
I love authentic italian amaretti cookies at Christmastime or anytime.
My favorite dessert at Christmas are my mom’s shortbread cookies. She makes the best shortbread I’ve ever had in my life, always tender and buttery.
All that stuff is so cute! I will be looking at their site soon! I love sugar cookies of course. :)
The best dessert ever….take a banana, put it in it’s peel/shell (I don’t know how you say that in english..) in a preheated oven till the peel/shell turns black. Then carve it open and serve with icecream, a few crushed nuts and caramelsauce, yummie!
Oh, I almost forgot…I loooove these farmchicks, gonna look for them in my local bookshop!
Sugar Cookies that we make as a family. Yum!!!
This is a tough choice… I have 3 favorite treats at Christmas, probably because they are so limited the rest of the year: Fudge, Popcorn balls and sugar cookies.
My favorite sweet is easily anise cutout cookies with this hard frosting on them! My mom has been making them longer then I’ve been around and I can’t get enough of them!
Those are so cute! Every year me and my oldest son make cookies on Christmas Eve to leave for Santa. I always take a picture of him while we are doing this. I hope one day to put together a book that has all the recipes and the picture of him making it. I love these candy pecans that my hubby’s aunt makes. And my SIL’s sugar cookies! Yeah for Christmas
I love divinity. I would love to receive some of these tags, they are so cute. I’m at tmyers109@sbcglobal.net
Thanks,
Traci
My favorite sweet to eat during the Christmas holidays are my grandmother’s sugar cookies. Whenever we make them, it truly begins to feel like Christmas.
hea259@yahoo.com
I have several things I love to make,but 2 that are near and dear to my heart are childhood memories. My mom would make Old English Toffee and homemade cinnamon rolls. I have the recipe for both and they are to die for!! They take back instantly to when I was little in the kitchen with my mom.
I have to go make some old English Toffee now, there goes my diet!
Two cookies actually. Both start out as a old Betty Crocker cookbook spice cookie, but I put candied fruit in one batch and mince meat in another. Both flavors mean the holidays to me.
I love cheesecake, and caramel popcorn, My girlfriend fron grade school : 0…. just sent me the recipe for the one we use to make at her house all the time!! I’m soo excited. Its only been 30 yrs. Wow!!!
Gingerbread cookies. I am still trying to perfect them, but I am practicing now while it is just me and my husband. I want to have it down to a science when kiddos come along to make it a family traditon to bake and decorate them.
divinity!!!!!! It’s divine!!!! Thank you very much, I came up with that all by myself : )
Plum Duff! My Grandma used to make this for my mom and her sisters at Christmas. Now I’ve made it a Christmas tradition for my family. It’s delicious!
By the way, I’m a BIG Farm Chicks fan. I have one of their stickers on my car. I’m lucky enough to live just across the border from them in North Idaho so I go to their AWESOME show every year. If you haven’t been, you need to come!
My all time favorite holiday treat are homemade oatmeal cookies with dried cherries and almonds!
The traditional Chocolate Chip Cookies!
My favorite has to be the chocolate cream pie my granny always had at her house at Christmas. I’m a sucker for chocolate.
My favorite holiday sweet has always been gingerbread men. My mother and I make 500-800 every year for gifts to give to family friends.
Love good ole press cookies with the litte cinnamon buttons fresh from the over. The cinnamon candy is still gooey and they are so yummy!
My mom passed away last year just before Christmas. She always made sweet yeast rolls for Christmas every year, just like my grandmother before her. Some she filled with mandarin orange slices and some she added raisins to and rolled into balls and made into a Christmas tree shape. Both were served warm and covered in a powdered sugar glaze.
I LOVE homemade Christmas candy – peppermint bark, caramels, etc. For store bought stuff, I LOVE LOVE LOVE the mint M&Ms. If you haven’t tried them, you have to! They are YUMMY!
I love Christmas cookies. I make several different kinds and give them aways as gifts and also save some for myself. :) My faves are plain ole sugar cookies, blueberry cookies, and wedding cookies.
I love my grandmas christmas cookies :) sooo yummy or my nanas very simple toffee just walnuts chocolate and some caramelized sugar mm mmm mmmmm :)

Love it all! Want it all!!!!!
Spritz cookies!!! It’s my family’s tradition to crank out hundreds of these and give them to everyone we know!
Frozen cranberry salad – it’s great as a side item or as dessert!
I love sugar cookies at Christmas.
Yummy Fudge….only time I allow myself to have it……Thanks for the give away.
My aunt’s snickerdoodle cookies are the best!
roll-out sugar cookies
My grandmother always made chess pie at Christmas. My mother has carried on the tradition and I’m planning to make my very first chess pie this year.
This probably isn’t very “holidayish”, but I love chocolate dipped Ritz crackers. I only seem to find them (at people’s homes) during the holiday season.
Thanks for introducing us to such cute things!
I love my grandma’s old family recipe for christmas cookies… they’re almost a mix between shortbread and sugar cookies with a simple frosting ad sprinkles. SOOOO good :)
I love chocolate cake! My mom loves pie. So we have both.
I recently made my first pumpkin roll (http://www.verybestbaking.com/recipes/detail.aspx?ID=32372 ) and I have to say that it’s my new favorite Christmas sweet! Though you also can’t go wrong with anise flavored pizzelles, either :o)
HOW can I even deciede?? If I absolutely had to, it would be candy cane brownies. Typical chocolate brownies with bits of candy cane crunched up and baked in. SO good!!
And if I would happen to win which would make my whole year.. My email address is altrayer@hotmail.com! :)
My favorite sweet is divinity – so hard to make and the weather has to be clear and crisp – but if you can get it right…heaven!
My favorite holiday treat is Peppermint Bark Bars using dark chocolate and white chocolate! Thanks Bakerella for always sharing!
Twinkles_154 (at) yahoo (dot) com

I might have to add that book to my Christmas wishlist, everything delish and I’m just about ready to try my hand at my favorite food- PIE!
Pecan pie!!!
My favorite holiday treats are the wedding cookies my mother makes. When I was younger, she would let my sister and I roll them in the powdered sugar once they were baked. I could’ve eaten a dozen – haha! I’m going to try to recreate them this Christmas in my own kitchen. :)
I love christmas sugar cookies with thick creamy icing because of the wonderful memories associated with making them as a child
Mexican wedding cakes…and peanut M&Ms…yummmm
hello… again :)
My favorite holiday treat would be my mothers homemade carmels. The recipe is YEARS and YEARS and YEARS old, and it’s fun to think that whoever came up with this recipe probably had no idea what a tradition she was creating for generations to come.
My email is barbaracharon@yahoo.com if I win, but really not holding my breathe, but it is fun every time you have a giveaway to enter. Thanks for the chance. And if you want the SUPER secret carmel recipe, I will mail it to you :) Just because your fun, and funny, and pretty much the best baker EVER!
Do I have to pick just one? I suppose all sorts of Christmas cookies. Particularly spritz- they remind me of my childhood.
OMG… these are FAB! I bake for the holidays and these would be a great addition for my packages with a lil’ gift for me too!.. Thanks for the offer!
My favorite xmas treats are candied pecans. They are sparkling with sugar and are so easy to make!
Rugelach. Special enough only for Christmas.
I love pecan pie! Thanks for the giveaway
mgportera@yahoo.com
I love making and eating caramel corn at xmas. Goes so well with wine, another xmas staple.
My homeade frosted sugar cookies.
I love my mom’s rum cake–she has made it every year since I can remember! (And it will make your tongue numb so watch out!)
Favorite Christmas sweet huh? Thanks a toughy. I love the candy… turtles, caramels, dipped pretzles, peanut brittle. I don’t get that stuff other that at Christmas. It’s pretty sweet.
Thanks for the give away!
My favorite Christmas dessert to make is Gingerbread Boys and Girls. I use a new garlic press to add ” dough hair” to the girls . I decorate with royal icing and lots of different candies and create cute colorful outfits. They are so much fun to make. As a child, I loved playing with paper dolls so these cookies bring back great memories.
I have a thing for decorated sugar cookies!
I love my mom’s thumbprint cookies- rolled in walnuts & filled with frosting!
There are so many great desserts around Christmas that it is SO hard to choose! But, if I have to, I choose fudge. I love fudge!
My favorite holiday dessert has to be Buckeyes! Those little chocolate-covered peanut butter balls are so yummy and it always feels like Christmas when I have them. I have been known to make them in the summertime just to get that same feeling. :)
I’m a sucker for chocolate, so the yule log is my overall favourite. Never made my own though… or at least not yet. :D
I love pecan pie!
I love to make sugar cookies and chocolate covered pretzels, but my favorite is my chocolate candy cane cake. Yum!
Nikivalentine214@aol.com
Sugar cookies and then peanut butter cookies with the ends dipped in chocolate are a fav of mine.
It’s a toss up between pumpkin pie and apple pie. I’m more of a cake & cupcakes kind of girl so it’s the only time of year I’ll ever eat pie and love it!
my favorite christmas treat is the same as thanksgiving…yam pie. i LOVE this dessert my mom makes, and growing up it always counted as a vegetable, so we couldn’t leave the table until we had a slice :)
I love anything Christmas…Christmas cookies, candy, or pies. Yum!
Death by Chocolate… all time favorite!
I love Scottish Shortbread. My mouth is watering just thinking about it.
sugar cookies
anitacupcake15@aol.com
I love chocolate-orange-cookies!! My mum used to make them, but she isn’t that much into baking and now it’s me who bakes them every year!!
I also want to try something from your site this year, but I can tell you that I am having a hard time deciding what to try because everything looks sooo great & yummy!! Thanks for inspiring me!!
?
English Toffee
Cheesecake, for sure. I’ve made it the past couple of years for Christmas dinner, and it’s always a hit.
My favorite sweet at Christmas are the Santa face sugar cookies i make with my sister and father. We have been making these cookies since i was little. Now 30 years later and 2 kids of my own i hope to continue the tradition.
Thanks Bakerella…love the blog!!
I MUST make fudge every Christmas! My grandma made it every year. then my mom and now me.
definitely homemade fudge. sooo good.
thanks for the giveaway! melany.larsen@gmail.com
My favorite holiday dessert would be a tie between peppermint ice cream and egg nog ice cream (which makes an excellent milkshake, incidentally)!
My faves are these eensy beensy pecan tarts that I make every year. The kids (31, 29, and 27) have been known to eat too many before dinner and be full!
Would love to win!
Nicky
My favorite dessert for the holidays, but even year round is coconut cake. It is my grandma’s recipe and absolutely delicious!
I love snowball cookies…yummo!!!! slrettig17@yahoo.com
My favorite treat at Christmas time is our family’s homemade fudge. It is made from scratch – without the unnecessary use of condensed milk! It is perfect on a plate for Santa to enjoy. :)
The basic reindeer chow, using trail mix, chocolate, and powdered sugar…. nom nom nom and second in line fudge (^_^)
I love nut cups. The holidays are the only time of the year they seem to be made…and I eat as many as possible!
With all the yummy stuff at christmas, I’d say my favorite is the cookies my MIL makes. spread peanut butter between 2 ritz crackers then dip in melted chocolate. Cool on wax paper. So simple, but I’ve never made them. It’s part of my in-law’s gift to every famly member along with homemade caramel corn.
I have to say divinity. My grandma always made it at Christmas time and it is one of my favorites. Also my email is britters13 at msn dot com.
This is so hard! I’d have to go with my aunt’s butter tarts though!
I am absolutely with you on the scone cozy – cute!
My favorite sweet would have to be my grandma’s peanut brittle – too tasty for words!
a favorite… that’s hard. but i must say the good old traditional apple pie warms my tummy for the holidays! :)
I love gingerbread cookies with homeade pumpkin dip! We serve it every year at our Christmas open house and everyone just loves it.
My favorite Holiday dessert is peppermint bark! I just ate a whole bag yesterday from Godiva :) yummy!

My favorite Christmas dessert is chocolate chip cookies!!! Made with extra, extra vanilla and dark chocolate chips.
I LOVE a good pumpkin roll! and add crafts to the mix and my eyes roll back in my head!! – love scones too and the cozy would be great!
My favorite Christmas dessert is a cookie/doughnut type thing that my mother and Aunts make called a “Marvel”. It was my great-grandmother’s receipe and is just flour, sugar, and eggs — mixed and fried….so bad, but oh so good.
