The Top Five Holiday Treats

I've been a bit under the weather lately, so getting my holiday baking done may be a but of a trick this year. So, I asked my family to rank the most important things to get made between now and Christmas, and here are our Top 5:

#1: Candy Coal

This has become an absolute favorite of family, friends and co-workers. The little bit of black it turns your lips is overlooked because it's just SO good.

#2: Gingerbread Caramels

I was too scared for years to even try caramels, but these have (so far) been foolproof, and we LOVE them.

#3: Mint-Chocolate (Grasshopper) Brownies

Can't live without these. I grew up with them, too.

#4: Gingersnaps

Basic, but so, so good, especially when you eat them right out of the oven.

#5: Okay, this is a tie... Cranberry-Gingerbread Cheesecake Bars for my husband, Sugar Cookies for my boys, and Snowball Cookies for me.

May you find the time in your hectic life to do some baking, too, for the holidays, or just for a Tuesday!
