#1 Made from scratch Christmas cookies, seems like no one makes them any more.

#2 Made from scratch Christmas cookies!!!!!!

I used to make them when the kids and grand kids were around but it would not be good for me if I made a big batch of them now. Great grand kids to small yet.

My Aunt Essie's divinity--it was so light--like biting into air. She was a self taught baker/candy maker and made my wedding cake back many many years ago. I also loved her peanut brittle.

She has been gone for 5-6 years now and I have never found anything that can come close to that divinity--so now it is just a wonderful sweet memory.

I also love those little powdered sugar cookies that have the walnuts in them.

I used to get a wonderful christmas present from a friend of mine that was a gift box full of wonderful homemade cookies--but I don't get them anymore as she says she would be enabling me when it comes to controling my diabetes. I've told her I would be a good girl and have just one a day but she says NO---I miss my cookies

We've always called the little round balls with walnuts in them, Russian Tea Cakes, I love them but nobody else here does. My mother would always make them and butter cookies that we would cut out and frost. I can't make the butter cookies taste quite like my mothers but i'm going to give it another try here pretty soon.

Unless they branched off without my knowing it, See's candy is a CALIF company. I grew up on See's candy! Each piece with a different hand dipped swirl! How I'd LOVE to have a box! But it's been about 18 years now *sigh*

I love many things but don't have them very often.

Popcorn balls

Brownies with walnuts

chocolate chip cookies with walnuts

banana nut bread....(wait for it!) with walnuts! LOL

We have Sees candy here in Nevada and I believe they are in Utah too. I always get 2 pcs when I go to the mall.

My favorite sweet though is sugared popcorn. I make 2 batches 1 red and 1 green and mix them for a festive color combo.

 

[jacks'thunder]

YUMMMMMMMMMMMM!!! It all sounds wonderful! I have never heard of Sees candy but it sounds great!!!

Oh and just a note to all you sugar cookie lovers! My mil lives next door and sent home made sugar cookies home with my son! Yeah!!!!!

Guess how many........ 6 cookies

! Well I have to look at it this way, It's a good way to portion control!!!!! LOL!!!

 

[Jill]

Ice cream and warm chocolate chip cookies

Oh Jill you are wicked girl..................

My husband makes fudge, and lots of it lol (and he rarely eats it). So we always have too many sweets on hand. I eat it when it's fresh and warm, but beyond that I get burned out...well, except for the dark chocolate with coconut in it, hard to have too much of that!

My real favorites, chocolate chip cookies, my mother's recipe chocolate cake, and pretty much anything dark chocolate lol. Good fresh banana bread I can't resist either.

If anyone is driving I 35 in Texas, Collin Street Bakery has opened a store in Waco and has lots of goodies. My grandmother always sent fruitcakes from there when I was younger, but they also have wonderful cookies, pies, etc. It's now my regular rest stop between Austin and Dallas.

I didn't know there weren't See's Candy stores across the US. You guys are missing out. I try not to go past there in the mall, or I have to buy some. Godiva Chocolates is on the way to See's, so if I have some extra money in my pocket I don't make it to See's anyway

I'm pretty much into most any sweet but, a true chocoholic! I've gotten some little treats in frozen food that are quick for those "gotta have" moments we get

Made by Edwards -- (they have pies and I especially like the Key lime ones

) -- boxed with two servings these little things are a small brownie you microwave, then top with the little cup of vanilla ice cream. The ice cream have choco chips or choco & caramel for the turtle type. You can get apple ones where the apples are MW and topped with vanilla ice cream with the crunchie toppings. Yeah, these can take the cravings moment to pleasure in less than a minute or two.

I get them at WM for $2-2.25 a box. Only $1 or so per serving. I'm worth that!

l only do this once this time of the year....l get a container of 365g Moritz lcy Squares

Then a good book and l eat the whole darn thing then go to bed...l am soooo sick still today

l have no use for anything sweet or chocolatey now till next year..

I think Sees is slowly making it's way east. We had one in the mall in California, and my parents were devestated when we moved to Ky and they didn't have Sees. They now set up a Kiosk in the mall here at Christmas time.

We don't have many traditions, but my Grandmother used to make Rum balls every Christmas, and now that she has demensia and can no longer do it herself, I have taken over. Just finished making the first batch of the season, yum!

I also like the Chex cereal covered in a peanut butter/ chocolate mix and coated in powdered sugar, I think it is called reindeer tracks? I'm going to be making some of that in the next few days too, can't wait.

SEES CANDY is a family Christmas tradition! My dad always gave each of us a small box in our stockings....... I do the same for us and I send some to various family members and friends every year. (I'm on their mailing list, both e-mail and snail mail. LOL!)

I LOVE receiving homemade Christmas cookies, but people just don't do it anymore....... Brianna and I have made plates for people in previous years, but haven't gotten to it yet.

Last Friday we all went on a day long trip to visit one of our grown foster daughters and her family. They are living in an old farm house on 80 acres out in the middle of nowhere.....with an old red barn, a natural spring that feeds their stock pond... It's wonderful. We exchanged early gifts (they have three small children), and she had made a wonderful combination of Christmas cookies and candy........Chocolate Fudge, White chocolate chip cookies, the butter balls with nuts - sprinkled in powdered sugar (my fav!).....peanut butter fudge, and some sugar cookies shaped in all the holiday shapes we are used to. It was like going back in time!!! (We had a yummy pork dinner with them and went to their daughters' Christmas program before heading back home......)
