Every year I take off from work on the first Friday in December to start my Christmas baking and candy making. This has become a tradition for me and a move to Connecticut wasn't going to slow this woman down!
Each year I've done this, I've been fortunate to have different friends come over to help me with the baking and the day will usually include some Christmas music and/or some favorite Christmas movies playing in the background. This year my stepmother Robbin, her sister Deb, and their mother Rosemarie came up to our apartment to help. This was definitely the smallest kitchen I've ever had to work in for my Christmas baking day, but with Rosemarie washing dishes the whole afternoon and my Hoosier cabinet counter-top pulled out, we made the space work. Baden was even entertained with a stuffed gingerbread dog toy my mom sent up for his St. Nick's present!
Here is a list of this year's goodies:
- Dark Chocolate Covered Mini Nutter Butters
- White Chocolate Covered Mini Golden Oreos
- White Chocolate Covered Homemade Mounds Candy
- Dark Chocolate Covered Peanut Butter Balls a.k.a "Buckeyes"
- Chocolate Crinkles
- Swedish Sugar Cookies
- Mint Meltaways
- Russian Teacake Cookies
- Lights in the Snow
- Grandpa Jim Cookies a.k.a. "Holiday Spritz Pressed Cookies"
- Peppermint Bark
As usual, we had a great time and although I didn't get everything finished, thanks to my helpers, I got a great start on this year's Christmas baking.
