I need to do some more baking and I'm out of ideas. Soooo... I'm tossing out a " what do you like the most" post.

Whats your favorite goodie you get to eat at the Holidays ? Candy, Cookies, bars, pies, cakes, all the bad stuff you normally dont get the rest of the year.

Anything thats traditional? Family Recipe? Something new this year? Anything you may hoard and take out to the woods with ya?

For me.. I always look forward to a chocolate covered cherry..and peanut brittle.

C'mon now.. share your goodies.

Buckeyes are good for me, there a little like a Reese on steroids. I also like basically any cookie.
 
Sausage balls, Peanut butter balls and Peanut butter cookies. All home made.
 
Deep fried mini bannock balls rolled in casters suger and cinamin
i just put a little more sugar then usual in my bannock take a ping pong size ball drop it in HOT oil tell golden,
plop in the CSTER SUGAR/CINN mix and enjoy
there kinda like them "doghnut centers" ya get
 
You said baking BUT one of my absolute favorite's is Popcorn balls made with clear liquid candy!

My Grandmother made these every year for the holidays and I miss them soooo....much. Many in my family tried to do them, but no one was ever able to fully duplicate hers.

What are these sausage balls? Sounds interesting.

Oh yes.. I forgot about the fruitcake. My mother will make hers this year. yum.

My dad used to ask for an applesauce cake. The recipe we had made a super HEAVY cake. It got nicknamed the 'three ton cake'.. Gosh I havent thought of that cake in ages. I may have to dig for that recipe.

Another traditional goodie for us is Lefse. Buttered, sprinkled with sugar and rolled up. Mmm.. mm. We will also have Lutefisk with our Christmas meal. THAT is a one time a year thing for me. :S

Keep em coming!

My Grandmother used to make something called Julekakke.. a Norwegian Christmas bread... look online for recipies... good fresh out of the oven with butter... reminds me of a bannock with fruit in it...
 
Am making my made from scratch carrot cake for the first time in 25 years, smells good in the house right now.
 
my favorites were always macaroons... mom always made those at christmas. i also loved rum balls, but didn't get them so often! she also made butter cookies called "schpritz cookies". there was some sort of pastry gun with lids with holes in them that you forced the dough through, kinda like a play-doh fun factory... she also made some sort of hardtack-like cookie called "springerle". they weren't very sweet, and had a lot of anise seeds in them... you rolled the dough out about 1/2" thick and then either pressed on it with a special board, or ran over it lightly with a special rolling pin (we had both). the board/pin had little designs carved in it, and they transfered to the cookie. i didn't like how they tasted, but they were fun to make.
 
My confession

this year I stopped counting calories.

That starts on 12/26/2011.

I have eaten things like stolen, arare (Japanese rice crackes), sembei (Japanese cookies are a lot like fortune cookies), almond cookies and candy.

I might get something more.

But right now I am one very popular camper.
 
everybody seems to like when i make Sausage balls, fudge and my favorites the buckeyes/peanut butter balls.... mmmmmm
 
Monster cookies. They are my all-time favorite cookie, but we only make them at Christmastime. We take them to every potluck we go to!

I picked up the makings for doing a Key Lime Pie today. Thought that sounded gooood..

Peppermint fudge is on my mind too.... that sounded good when I read that one. And I have candycanes I can crush up. :)

I tossed a few of those tiny candycanes into the food pack. Figured they'd be good in tea out in the woods. Peppermint is supposed to settle a tummy ache too.
