For several of our friends and families, I went to craft store and got the little Christmas Chinese type take out looking boxes, and that is what we will put our goodies in. We normally make, Snickerdoodles, sugar cookies, peanut butter fudge and regular fudge. <br />I always make my dad a coconut creme pie because that is his favorite. I enjoy reading your blog.

I vary it from year to year according to what I might be in the mood for or what new recipes I want to try. This year I have made 4 kinds of cookies so far, and only one of them was on the list of cookies I had *planned* to make! I've also made 2 batches of fudge and several other kinds of candy, plus some hot chocolate mixes.<br /><br />Certain cookies/candies are a must every year. The short list would probably include eggnog logs, sacher torte cookies, whipped shortbread, and heavenly delight fudge.<br /><br />Mary Ann -- what a fun tradition! Hope you can manage to get there for part of it. And Carrie -- have fun baking with the kiddos. These years pass all too quickly.Mrs.Thttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00392321745556290343noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-11447399.post-5738501774818233822010-12-14T07:57:42.835-05:002010-12-14T07:57:42.835-05:00Sounds like you are going to have lots of fun in y...Sounds like you are going to have lots of fun in your kitchen!<br />Some of us girls - my aunt, my sister, & me - usually go to my G-parents house for a day or half a day to make candy. We make fudge, toffee, peanut brittle, peanut butter cups, butter creams, & maybe some other stuff. Not sure if I'll make it this year b/c of burning up all of my paid time off, but I might have to play hookey for half a day so I don't miss out entirely!Mary Annhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06403083611514935619noreply@blogger.com
