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)

And, here’s the winner…
Wow, wow, wow, I am going to need the rest of the year to go through all of your favorites. So many things I like, too… especially fudge and so many that I have never even heard of. You guys should take a look through them if you get a chance and want some ideas for something new. Thank you for sharing. And the winner is… #2670… That’s you Heather. All you have to do to get your prize is send me some of your dad’s Keeflies. Just kidding. But really, I just looked those up and they sound great.
My favorite dessert this time of year is Pumpkin Crumble. Similar to a pumpkin pie, but oh so much yummier!
Oh… the holidays are so full of wonderful memories. The best of which were my Grandmothers cinnamon rolls. They were melt in your mouth wonderful and although I have tried, I can not duplicate the recipe.
My favorite Christmas dessert is my mother’s molasses cookies. Oh, and apple pie! And those peanut butter cookies with the Hershey kisses in the middle. I love Christmas baking…
My signature Christmas treat is a family tradition started by my grandparents from when they lived in Germany. It’s called Stollen and it’s an almond based German Christmas bread. Everyone flips over it! According to family tradition I’m only allowed to make it from the day after Thanksgiving until December 25th, but my friends sure try to get me to make it year round.
Thanks for the chance to win such adorable goodies!
I love the cute labels! uh oh… is this another cook book i’m going to have to buy? :)
Anything with almond paste…be it cookies, cake or pastries. Sometimes just straight from the container too.
Homemade chocolate fudge. Made with love every year by my family!
Christmas isn’t Christmas without a Happy Birthday Jesus cake, plus sugar cookies decorated with love from kiddos…..and triple chocolate nut clusters! So glad it is the Christmas season!!!!
My favorite Christmas treat are Gingerbread cookie men. I make them several times during the month of December.
I love the good ‘ol basic sugar cookie (with white icing!). Is that boring? :)
I love my mom’s bran muffins. They are a christmas staple that I can’t live without. They are sweet when you add mom’s homemade plum jam to them.
Peanut Butter Blossoms come in a close second=)
aww this is all too too cute! have fun in the country bakerella :)
After a very bountiful American (hubby and our 2 children) meal, we traditionally have leche flan, a Filipino (me) dessert that is sweet, light and allows us to nibble on many holiday cookies as well.
Call me crazy, but I love fruit cake! lol
Lemon bars. Not Christmas-y, but good to eat at that time because they make me think of warmer weargwe,
I love orange balls, the kind with smashed nilla waffers and orange juice and powered sugar, yum!
Homemade cinnamon rolls.
weaversteven@yahoo.com
Snickerdoodles and Nanaimo bars!
There’s too many to choose from, but I like fudge, sugar cookies, and pecan pie around the holidays. Thanks! ~Cathy
Iced sugar cookie cut-outs! My new husband and I have been making them together for years and there’s something about munching on a christmas tree shaped cookie really brings the holidays home to me!
Frosted sugar cookies for sure!!
I LOVE LOVE LOVE my grandma’s sugar cookies… it is sugar, sugar, sugar, butter, yummy goodness… melt in your mout. Not like those yucky roll out cookies. These have too much butter to roll out so you just SMOOSH them on the pan. kleitzer@gmail.com
My fave Christmas desert is super rich, fatty fudge!! It’s the only time of year I allow myself to eat it and I look forward to it all year! :)
Thanks for the chance to win and being such a sharer! ;)
Cookies and ummm…..cookies. Oh, I can’t forget Pumpkin Pie Cheesecake!!!
My favorite dessert around the holidays is cheesecake! So good and comforting!
White chocolate covered pretzels and peanuts. My mom made them each year and I LOVE them.
My favorite treat is homemade toffee! Pure and simple. It is the only time of the year I make it.
I love love love the farm chicks! They’re from Spokane where I used to live!
My favorite holiday sweet to make is rosettes. My mom’s family is from norway and we try to get together every year and make them.
Surprise Meringues – they are meringue cookies with mini chocolate chips and chopped walnuts them. The are slightly chewy but then just melt in your mouth – yummm!
Lots of goodies! But my favorite holiday dessert/drink is grasshoppers! It’s a family tradition!
My favorite Christmas treat would have to be the chocolate and coconut church windows that my Mother used to make when I was young. Each holiday season she would make a bunch of different cookies and candies and we would deliver plates to our neighbors. I would snatch up all the little runaway coconut shavings that would fall off when she would cut them out to put on the plates! She refers to this time in her life as her “suzy homemaker days”, and I look back on it with nothing but awe and admiration!
Cheers to you this holiday season! xoxo
melissa@dollfacegirl.com
My favorite Christmas dessert is definitely rum cake!
Living in the South, my favorite Christmas dessert is pecan pie. I usually make Southern Living’s Bourbon-Chocolate-Pecan Pie and serve it with unsweetened whipped cream with a touch of vanilla and bourbon.
I also really love pastelitos (Cuban pastries), but those are more of a year-round treat than Christmas/holiday specific.
It is so awesome thst home baking and the like are such a huge deal now, have become a major suzy homemaker due to all these food blogs just love it.
Around our house it isn’t Christmas without freshly bakes cinnamon rolls!
My favorites are those little butterscotch treats with the chow mein noodles and marshmellows! I also loved the chocolate dipped ritz peanut butter sandwiches.
I am all about homemade fudge and chocolate covered cherries at Christmas.
Almond brittle! It always hits the spot.
Hmm, I think my favourite are gingerbread cookies. I use a recipe handed down from Grandma to Mom to me. I love to decorate them, then I get to eat them!
Happy Holidays!
My fav treat at Christmas time is homemade whip cream! My grandma used to make it when she was still with us and thankfully my mom has taken up the tradition! It’s the only time of the year i get homemade whip cream on my pie and it’s ooooh so good!
If i win *fingers crossed* please contact me at: shesbattydesigns@hotmail.com
I LOVE homemade peppermint bark!
Gingerbread Men!!
My mom makes peanut butter squares every year! Peanut butter, powdered sugar, butter, and graham cracker crumbs, then topped with melted chocolate and left to cool, then cut into squares = delicious bite sized treats.
Contact by email would be wonderful if I’m lucky enough to win!
My sister makes these cranberry cookies.. omg they are just so good!
I just love peanut butter balls, abd sugar cookies with lots of frosting!
My favorite is my grandmother’s sweet bread…kind of like Polish babka. I make it for my whole family every year.
My favorite Christmas cookie would have to be Spiced Oatmeal walnut cookies.
Grandma’s peanut taffy for sure. My great grandpa didn’t have teeth to eat peanut brittle, so my great grandma created this yummy peanut taffy. So delicious.
Fruitcake.
JUST KIDDING.
Probably apple pie or cinnamon rolls.
Pizzelles. I use my grandmother’s pizzelle maker and recipe.
I love, love, love cheesecake. Any kind, strawberry, cherry, chocolate chip, New York style, turtle, you name it – I love it!
It’s not a dessert, but my favorite holiday treat is homemade caramels. I haven’t successfully made them in a few years (either too hard or too soft), but that doesn’t stop me from trying each December!
around christmas i make a mint chocolate chip cake in the shape of a candy cane and decorate it in red and white strips… soooo yummy!!!
My mom always makes Italian Cream Cake for Christmas. It’s my favorite!
I love pizelles – the one of the two times in the year my aunt makes them is at Christmas…. they are so good with coffee.
I love to make chocolate covered peanut butter bars! Yum! I really enjoy your weekly posts! Tried the pie last week and it was delicious! :)
hgrace27@gmail.com
Peanut butter fudge!! We make it every year and every year I try to only eat a little! That never works!!
Chocolate cream pie. Yum! And it reminds me of my grandmother.
WE love, love, love Swedish cremes…mmmmmmmm…and the infamous candy-cane cookies…red and white twisted sugar cookies. It’s just not the same without them :o)
LOVE the farmchicks labels too…super cute :o)
lisaager@hotmail.com
Adorable!
Peanut butter balls and Chocolate Marshmallow Squares. So yummy!
Chocolate french silk pie or, for that matter, any other kind of very sweet pie.
Fave thing to bake at Christmas is my famous cut outs! Sound basic, no way……we make every shape in my cookie cutter box. I have a ton of vintage cutters and let the kids cut as many as they want. The best part is the buttercream frosting that tops them off with a variety of cute sprinkles !
Everything. I like everything!
Peanut Butter Balls….not too big. Not too crumbly. Not too much chocolate. Just the way mom makes them.
Peanut Butter Balls! They are the bomb!
Brown sugar Fudge!
Peanut butter balls
Cookies with red hots. I guess you could eat them any time but I never really think of them until Christmas.
I love Candy Cane cookies. The almond flavoring is sooo yummy! And frosted sugar cookies are a classic favorite as well!
Holy Cow!!!! With all these comments, I know it’s a stretch but I’m going to enter anyway because I LOVE the Farm chicks!!!
sweetjeanette.blogspot.com
Peanut butter Hershey kiss cookies. My Mom’s made them ever since I was a little girl. I also love shortbread… definitely homemade, not the kind you buy in the box at the store.
My favorite Christmas sweet has to be fudge. :) I LOVE it!!
Love all this cute stuff! Let’s see…my favorite Christmas time dessert would have to be Chocolate Babka bread. I got turned on to it last year (5 sticks of butter and 3 pounds of chocolate can’t be bad, right?) and I’ve already got requests for it again this year.
My mom makes like a million different types of Christmas cookies every year and my most favorite are pressed cookies! Must be something about the insane amounts of butter they contain! YUM!
Peanut Butter Balls. I refuse to make them because I just know I would eat them all. I rely on my baker friends and their sweet cookie trays delivered on the Eve.
My grandma’s Christmas tree shortbread cookies. They’re a family tradition and are simply delicious :)
I’m not celebrating christmas since I’m jewish.
Here in Israel we celebrate Hanukkah and we make latkes and doughnuts, and they’re really good :)
Pizzelles. My grandmother used to make them for Christmas every year. And although they are stinking easy to make, I still only make them at Christmas. They make me remember her.
My favorite holiday sweet are mini pecan tarts from mom. And fruit cake. I know most people don’t like it but it’s another recipe from mom and packs a whallop after bein soaked in rum :-).
My favorite holiday dessert is Kolacky cookies (or thumbprint cookies). It’s a tradition at my parents’ house, and I’ve continued to bake them every holiday season, even if it’s not only for going home for Christmas. MMMMM!
My Mom makes an English Trifle that is to DIE for! It’s a favourite for Christmas.
My favorite are buckeyes, which my grandmother simply called “Peanut Butter Balls.” Divine! :)
How adorable! Love these guys! I’m a farm chick too, and would love some of this country charm in my kitchen ;)
My favorite dessert at Thanksgiving would have to be hmm… a toss-up between marbled pumpkin cheesecake, and pecan pie. Yummo! Thanks Bakerella <3
My favorite sweet at Christmas time…hmmm that is hard. I have two but can only get one. When I was little my grandfather used to make homemade hard tac candy. It was great to watch him mix it up and when it was set to slam the cookie sheet down and break it apart. Then it was so sweet to eat all covered with powdered sugar. He stopped making it years ago when not many could come for the holidays and he was getting older. The other has to be my moms 7layer cookies. I swear I could eat the whole cookie sheet full myself! LOL
I am a sucker for plain ‘ol chocolate chip cookies at Christmas time.
I love my mom’s mint brownies and caramelitas! They rock! I only wish I lived closer to enjoy them!!!
Peppermint Bark….. enough said!
Every Thanksgiving I am in charge of making THE Jello dish. Starting with a base of soft set raspberry Jello (cranberry used to be the staple but it has long been discontinued) I add cranberry sauce, mandarin oranges, chopped pecans, cinnamon, nutmeg, and cloves. It might sound unusual, but everybody loves it! We’re lucky if there are any left overs to enjoy the next day.
^^^ oops.. I meant TURKISH delight – not turkey! lol.. sorry…
turkely delight will be WEIRD!
You are just amazing. I absolutely love reading your blog…there is just something about the way you write that makes me want to keep reading…and…the pictures are amazing. As much as I try to take food photos…they never come out quite as amazing! Thank you!
peppermint candy cane bark! happy holidays everyone!
My faveourite sweest are these dessert made by my Mother In law, who’s Serbian. She makes these amazing Nut & dry fruit based cookie/sweeties.. and they ARE vegan!
She will simply make a simple syrup, with lemon juice, zest… then added with grounded walnuts…. then the possibilty is enless from there… you can add ground up dried figs… or anytype of dried fruit…
My personal favourit is to melt Turkey delight.. then add with some diced up furit jelly slices (don’t melt that too much, bc I like the specks of colours in the cookies)… THEN you sandwich between layers of Plain Wafer sheets (I like triple deckers type! lol)… You will have to put between wax paper, then put a heavy & flat object on top, like a big webster dictionary on it… weight a couple of day to dry out.. VOIILE, you will have these AMAZING sweet & vegan cookies!
I will be making these with her in two weeks, I will def share pics with Bakerella if anyone is interested :)
My favorite treat has to be sugar cookies. They are so much fun to make with friends or family and super yummy!
I love me some pumpkin roll! Oh and chocolate crinkles. Oh and just plain old sugar cookies at Christmas! Yum!
My Great Great Aunt Minnie’s Christmas morning coffee cake. It is a delicious old world recipe that was brought over with my grandmother’s family from Germany. It is less cake than a bread-like pie. Very hard to explain, but extremely delicious.
I am the only person in my family that ever learned how to make it before my Grandmother developed advanced Alzheimer’s disease, now I get to carry on the tradition and plan to teach my future daughter someday!
Hot cocoa, holiday bread, and cranberry wassail! Yum!
anything chocolate
Super cute stuff! Looks like another book to add to my list for “Santa”!
Formed Tea Dainties, a spritz cookie, and thumbprint cookies filled with a cute pink rosette piped in the center and soft green piped leaves on either side.
Our families fav is Peanut Butter Balls. It is a passed down…tried & true piece of heaven. Everyone looks forward to the holidays for this yummy sweet treat. They have been known to throw down for them. Hahaha Whats so funny is… they are quick & easy but we dont seem to make them any other time but Christmas. Just kind of seems wrong any other time of the year. LOL I’m so glad you discovered the Farm Chicks they rock.
Anything Peppermint!!
Peppermint M&Ms. I snatch a bunch of them every year and then make cookies or whatever I can think of out of them
looks like shrinky dinks!
our sweet is the pumpkin roll, i hear there is a shortage on pumpkin due to flooding?
you can email me if i am lucky enough to win
suzanne@bluedaisygraphics(dot)com.
It’s a tossup between glazed almond poppyseed bread (baked in soup cans, so they’re round!) and cutout, frosted sugar cookies. YUM!
I love these cookies my family always made. We called them butter cookies, and they’re sort of like a Russian teacake/Mexican wedding cookie sort of thing with almonds and anise, dusted with powdered sugar, with a whole clove stuck right in the middle. Reminds me of home.
I LOVE The Farm Chicks and follow them on their site. So cool that they sent you a bunch of fun stuff! What a fun surprise!!!
My favorite treat would have to be cream wafers, a traditional cookie that we have made as a family since I was a little girl. I love baking them with my own children now. OH, now I want to go bake!!!
My sister’s Christmas Crack. Saltine Crackers covered in chocolate and toffee.
My favourite thing is what my family calls “Christmas icecream” – it’s sherry-soaked dried fruit mixed into confectioner’s custard and whipped cream (plus all the spare sherry) and then frozen…. So good! And so easy to eat at the end of a huge Christmas dinner – it just slips down and you want more and more.
The Farm Chicks book and site are abfab! Thanks for sharing them with us. And, cookies, cookies, cookies, for Christmas! Any kind, any shape!
Christmas cookies, I love to make them, but I love to eat them even more!
I LOVE White Chocolate Peppermint Fudge!!! AND Eggnog!
My favorite Christmas treats are grandma’s Christmas candies: Peanut Clusters, Divinity, PB Fudge, Chocolate Fudge, Christmas Toffee, Caramels, and Iced Sugar Cookies!! It’s not Christmas without them!
My favorite Christmas sweet treat? Hands down it’s my Grandma’s Sugar Cookies.
Cookies! Lots and lots of COOKIES!
Grandma’s scotcheroos – mmmmm
I love to make and EAT my Great Great Aunts Nut Horn cookies! They take two days to make but they are so worth the time and effort put into them! They taste like the holidays!
Pumpkin pie for sure!!!!! Oh, and eggnog….and sugar cookies. So. Much. Deliciousness.
I just love sugar cookies at christmas! I have great memories of making them with my grandmother.
I looove the necklaces and tags – must run out to the bookstore asap!
i love spritz cookies! growing up my mom was not a baker. our neighbor across the street was a fantastic one and kept us fed with her goodies. she made the best spritz:)
jegibbons5@mchsi.com,
I have to choose just ONE?! Not sure that is possible…I love apple pecan struesel pie from Cracker Barrel:)
Being Jewish we didn’t get many Christmas treats except from my one Aunt who happens to be of another faith. And her simple spritz cookies were my favorites! I always liked the ones that looked like wreaths the best :)
Russian tea cakes! They’re my worst weight loss enemy :(
My fav xmas sweet is probably hot coco with tons of marshmallows, stirred with a candy cane!
My favorite christmas treat is Buckeye candy . . . . it’s not the traditional peanut butter kind though. Ours is white in the center and made from sweetened condensed milk, butter, and powdered sugar . . . . all this is then, of course, dipped in chocolate. We make enough and freeze to have some for New Years. (stormyd9@att.net
I love sugar cookies and fudge. My fav.
chanellefon@gmail.com
Turron!!!
I dont know if there is a name for it in english :/ it is made with almonds and it is a most on xmas eve!
pumpkin pie! I usually eat an entire pie throughout Christmas day! YUM!
I doesn’t celebrate Christmas but I`m celebrates Hanukkah, and I guess that my favorite Dessert is baked (less fat) doughnut with strawberry jam inside, with lots and lots of sugar powder!
Although I think almost anything tastes delicious dipped in almond bark, my favorite Christmas-time sweet is Ritz crackers with peanut butter in the middle, dipped in chocolate almond bark. Frozen. Mmmmmmmmm!
My aunt’s homemade cheesecake (it has just a hint of lemony tartness) along with a glass of homemade Baileys on the rocks. Yes, homemade Baileys, it’s even better than the store-bought stuff.
love the necklace. cannot wait to check out the farm chicks. my favorite dessert is definitely peanut butter cookies with hershey’s kisses in the center:) Simple and good.
It may not be a dessert, but it sure seems like a forbidden sweet treat…and that’s boiled custard! YUM!
On christmas eve my grandma makes german chocolate cake, its the best!
I make a fantastic toffee and homemade chocolate covered caramels. Yummm!
I love gingerbread cookies with icing on top!! Mmm!! I just love making them and decorating them!
Every christmas I make cornmeal rollout cookies…they are a family tradition…so yummy! i also make my husbands favorite sunshine dream bars…something his mom would always make.
wow – super cute!
I love Christmas cookies – snickerdoodles, peanut butter blossoms, etc. and of course, pecan pie!
Sticky buns! I have a very old family recipe that I make every year. I give some as gifts and the rest we eat for breakfast and again with dinner. They are THAT delicious! Lots of work but totally worth it. With so many other sweets around, these are comfort food at its best!
7 cup bars (7 layer bars)
My grandma was a big baker at Christmas. My sister & I are trying to carry on this tradition with our kids. It brings back so many memories making and eating these yummy cookie bars!
My favorite dessert – Christmas cookies! – specifically spritz cookies – a soft shortbread type flavored with almond – yum! I use a cookie press and decorate them with cherries or sprinkles! Yep, eat ’em for breakfast!!!
How cute – especially the Christmas themed items! Love the style!
I love a good fruit cake, but in my family, that makes me the weird one, because everyone else despises it! When my mother remarried, her new husband and I didn’t always see eye-to-eye; one Christmas, he baked a fruit cake, and I was the only person who would try a piece. It wasn’t bad! :) Somehow, since then, we’ve been getting along much better.
My mom makes the best English Toffee EVER frosted with chocolate and dipped in nuts on both sides. I enjoy making it now too, but mom’s is the best.
How SWEET is that?!!
My favorite dessert at Christmas…just about any cookie!
My favorite christmas dessert is peppermint ice cream! It is so sad that it isn’t around all year long, but that makes it so much better when it is :)
My favorite Christmas goodie is this amazing peanut butter M&M fudge my mom makes.
pumpkin bars! start at thanksgiving and keep eating them until christmas… they’re delicious.
Chocolate pie and cookies
I love love love peppermint bark. The creamy bark mixed with the chrunchy peppermint makes me smile.
Pumpkin anything. I can'[t get enough of the stuff! Also, my husband makes amazing peanutbutter fudge.
Anything with egg nog!
We love to make Hot Fudge Sauce. In fact, we make it for our neighbors every year in a cute jar decorated all cutesy with a bow. The sauce can most obviously be used to top ice cream sundaes, but I love using it as a fondue or in dessert crepes…you get the idea! I have even found my kids sneaking spoonfuls straight from the jar.
I love peppermint chocolate cookies!
My favorite treat is a simple, classic cut-out cookie, preferably a Christmas tree shape. I loved helping my mom make these as a kid. We used to make so many we’d have them well into the new year, and it was always a treat to see a few on my plate at lunch.
Oh my goodness, I LOVE those recipe cards!! What a treat those would be to have in my box!
My favorite Christmas dessert would have to be the Chocolate Mocha Mousse that my mom makes every year. I’m not a chocolate or coffee fan, but wow!! This is amazing. I go back for thirds!
I’m a big fan of traditional sugar cookies with frosting and sprinkles during Christmas! I just had some sugar cookies the other day and they had vanilla frosting and peppermint sprinkles! So good!
mellie6374@yahoo.com
I think my new Christmas favorite will be the pumpkin pie from last week’s post. I made it for Thanksgiving, and I’m sure I’ll be making it again!
Iced Gingerbreadmen…gotta have them!
Oh my! SO cute! I love the cards! My favorite christmas treat are Christmas wreaths made out of corn flakes! Delicious and Nutritious!
FUDGE!
My favorite treat at Christmas is Christmas cookies! Haha. Sugar cookies decorated with icing in different Christmas shapes that everyone makes together. Mmm.
Either that or rice krispie treats tinted green and formed into cones to look like Christmas trees, haha. With red candies for ornaments.
My first visit to your blog. Lovely! My favorite can’t do without sweet at Christmas has to be what we call powdered sugar cookies. Thanks for offering this giveaway.
This year I’ll be making the pumpkin pie bites you featured a few weeks ago, I made then for Thanksgiving and my hubby and kiddos LOVED them so its going on the list this coming Christmas. The Farm Chicks cookbook looks adorable and I’d love to win.
Well, really I like anything chocolate, but I look forward to a fresh pumpkin pie during this season.
I recently discovered the Farm Chicks too and love their style!
I love homemade fudge and carmels!!! I love Pumpkin Pie also!!!
Do I really have to choose just one? I love all Christmas baking so much but I guess my favorite would have to be Oreo Truffles.
My favorite christmas treat is Choco-Mallow Cookies! Chocolate cookies with 1/2 a marshmallow melted on the top and then iced with chocolate frosting. They are divine.
Peppermint bark… yum-delicious. Waiting for my younger sisters to get home from college so we can make it together in a few weeks. Also, just discovered this blog a week ago, and am loving it so far!! Thank you.
Chocolate peanut butter truffles. The easy ones to make with rice krispies. They disappear so fast! I’ve never heard of these ladies with their awesome products. Love the baking stickers! Thanks for sharing!!
I love to make homemade caramels with my mom for our neighbors. It never tuns out right the first time so we always end up with double what we need and that means we get to eat it ourselves guilt free
I’m a big fan of the holiday candies! Fudge, divinity, caramels, peppermint bark … all homemade, and oh so yummy! How can you choose just one?
My favorite Christmas-time dessert is fudge and divinity. My grandma always made the best fudge, best we always had to buy divinity because she won’t make it, she never liked how it turned out.
I love to make my dad’s sugar cookies with cream cheese frosting. He used to bake them and I helped frost and decorate. Since he passed away three years ago I have taken over the baking of them for my family.
i love oreo balls. yummy!!!
I love all of the sugar cookies at Christmas!! My Aunt makes THE BEST sugar cookies ever- they’re often gone before dinner is served!!
decorated sugar cookies!
michelle.bronstein@gmail.com
Three layer homemade German Chocolate Cake
My husband makes cream puffs for Christmas and I make chocolate cake. My kids love livin’ in my house at the holidays.
My favourite X-mas dessert is the Norwegian “riskrem” aka rice cream. It is rice porridge that has been made ahead and left to cool down. Then you gently stir it into a bowl of whipped cream. You decide yourself how thick or creamy you like the rice cream to be. Then you serve it chilled with a berry sauce. It is kind of strange but really nice at the same time. Some even put an almond into the porridge, and the one who gets the almond, gets the price: a big marsipan piglet.
My favorite dessert at Christmas is the chocolate Christmas log. Of course the cookies that are made at Christmas come in as a close second.
Hi Bakerella!
Happy Thanksgiving! I hope you had a fantastic holiday! Thank you for the post! The Farm Chicks cookbook looks GREAT!
My favorite holiday treat is Pecan Pie. Totally original but must have it every Christmas! :)
I really enjoy your blog!
Cheers!
Christi
Sugar Cookies! :D
Hey and thanks for a chance to win some of your great gifts..My favorite sweet is ….Sugar cookies with yummy homemade butter creme icing..Yummy they are so good and fun to make…Hope you Have A Merry Christmas
Sugar cookies!
I LOOOVE Peppermint ice cream! I seriously can’t get enough! The best part is that just adding crunched up candy canes to our ice-cream maker works so that we don’t have to keep buying ice cream.
Thank you for offering to share your loot!!
I really, really, really (i.e – if you want any for yourself or others you should probably hide them from me) love homemade caramels. I want to make them this year, but that’s pretty dangerous… ;-)
I am Italian, and I love a fig filled sugar cookie called cuccidata. Not sure about the spelling..sorry. But the cookine is like a gourmet fig newton. Oh, and torrone…pistachios and nougat..yum!!
Pumpkin Pie! all the way!
decorated sugar cookies!
nycstrawberri21@gmail.com
I love simple sugar cookies with hard frosting.
jschlott at stny dot rr com
cookies! – gingerbread men, chocolate chip, peanut butter with a chocolate kiss, tea cakes, shortbread. I love cookies during the holidays.
I love my husband’s family Orange Candy Cookies! The orange slice gumdrop candies are cut up and inside the cookies. They’re different and delicious! :)
My mom’s Boozy Pound Cakes are my favorite Xmas treat. They are little pound cakes soaked in booze and then drizzled in a boozy glaze.Awesome!
My dads peanut brittle that he makes every year….or maybe my sister’s coconut cream pie…..or any kind of fudge.
I’m a big fan of chocolate crinkles! But now that I have children, I enjoy whatever they enjoy, whatever they want to make. They are my sweet treat at Christmas and always!
My favorite sweet at Christmas is any kind of peppermint sweet. I love Peppermint Mochas, Peppermint Hot Chocolate, Peppermint bark…anything! It is so festive.
My favorite is store bought…wait before you say boo….
Stauffer’s Cookies in York PA makes stars at Christmas and bunnies at Easter. They are chocolate enrobed graham crackers with nonpareils. OMG. I’ve been eating them since I was a little girl. I love the dark chocolate, but they also come in milk chocolate. They are my favorite Christmas sweet!!!
http://www.stauffers.net/products/holiday
Baklava is my all time favorite christmas dessert. My mom and I make it every year together. It takes a long time to make but it is just sooooo good. : )
My moms strawberry surprise! Its my fave!
An Italian cake called Pandoro….was introducted to it by my ex-mother-in-law. Love it!
I love my grandmothers Holska Bread recipe. I only have it at Christmas.
