How has their holiday baking done?? What do you make?

I spend ALL day yesterday baking goodies for family and friends! Whew! That was a chore! Today, I am packaging them and hopefully getting rid of everything I made!

I made fudge for the first time! Wow! It was super easy! --I thought it was going to be hard!

I made:
Peanut Brittle
Fudge (w/ and w/o nuts)
chocolate covered coconut balls
spice crinkles
oatmeal raison cookies
pecan bars
peanut butter drops
rum fruit cookies

and for us, my daughter came up w/ chocolate covered honey nut cheerios! Ha! --hey, that was pretty creative and they looked cute --- not to mention, tasted good!

Plus, we went over to our neighbors house (the same one that had Rusty) and baked and decorated cookies - some for us to keep and some to share. Her mother had once had a bakery and all of the kids worked in it......she had home-made cookies and icing and the pastry bags and tips! It was fun! We loved it!

Oh, Hersey Kisses now come in every flavor you can almost think of! So, I bought tons of bags fo those to add to our cookie platters.

We got: mint kisses, candy cane (peppermint) kisses, cherry kisses (like a chocolate covered cherry w/ the cherry or mess - kiss w/ the cream filling), caramel kisses (filled w/ caramel), special dark chocolate kisses, normal kisses and macadamia nut (yum) kisses!

Okay, I went "kiss" crazy! YUMMY!
