Each Christmas season I head into the kitchen and spend a whole day cooking up our family's favorite Christmas treats. I make a platter for ourselves (of course!), one for work, and one for the ladies at Jack's daycare.
There are some staples that I make every year like sugar cookies, chocolate dipped pretzels, and Martha Washington candy.
I wanted to share with you what this year's Christmas platter will hold. It is all soooo yummy!
1// Chocolate dipped pretzels with Christmas sprinkles. We make these because they are the simplest things to make, very festive, and also yummy. They are way better the next day too.
2// Fudge. I make a different fudge recipe every year. This year I'm giving this one a go.
3// Peanut Butter Blossoms. I've made this recipe numerous times because it is easy and I like easy.
4// Decorated Sugar Cookies. I found this recipe last year and it was so great I'm going to use it again.
5// Martha Washington candy. We've always had it and we love it. All that dipping can become a pain. Isn't that the Christmas way?
I look forward to eating all this decedent candy every year. Oh the calories!
Yum!! What a great tradition. I bet everyone loves getting your Yummy Platters. I am making chocolate covered pretzel sticks for Kevin's co-workers and am hoping to squeeze in some sugar cookies next week. My mom and I make a lot of candy right before Christmas. She makes the filling, I roll them out and dip everything. It takes a while, but everyone enjoys them so much. I am starving now and wish I had one of your pb blossoms :)
ReplyDeleteOh yum! We've made these pretzels dipped in caramel then peanuts then chocolate. Its a huge endeavor, but yours are prettier and seem even easier! Dipped candies are always so good - but such a pain. But then so worth it haha. I'm not sure we'll do any dipped this year. Mostly going easy with puppy chow and peppermint bark.
