Favorite Holiday Treats

on42on42 member
in TTC after 35
I'm sitting here munching on some Almond Roca. So delicious. (Uh, and so not paleo-friendly!)

What are your favorite holiday treats around this time of year? Cookies? Cakes? Homemade fudge? Divinities? A special family treat?

Just curious. :)

    Mostly ALL cookies!! Love nutroll but it has to be moist and lots of nuts but not overboard. Burnt almond torte is my favorite!! Sell at all bakeries here in Pittsburgh but only one does it the best :)

    I can say I don't like anything with raisins or any type of gingerbread kind! Oh oh ladylocks...yum!

IVF #1 - ER 06/13/12 - 9 Eggs Retrieved - 4 ICSI'd - only 2 fert. 06/15/12 - 2DT - 3 cell & 6 cell with fragmentation. Beta 06/29/12 - IVF #1 = BFN. 07/20/12 - WTF Appt -Told by our RE to quit IVF. Second Opinion from RE is good. IVF#2 - November 2012. Estradiol Pills Started 11/6. Stims start 11/16. ER 11/26 - 7 eggs retrieved - all mature. 4 fertilized with ICSI. ET 11/29 Transferred 3 embryos. Beta is 12/10. 1st Beta 81 2nd Beta 160 and 3rd beta 360!!! First U/S 12/21/12 - We saw one beautiful gest. sac. 2nd U/S is 01/04/2013 - H/B 183 02/05/13 - NT Scan - everything looks good and IT'S A BOY!  Aiden was born 08/20/2013.

    I make molasses cookies and candy. When I was a little girl we used to have to help my grandmother pull the molasses candy to make it a nice golden color. Then we would snip pieces off with her fabric scissors coated in butter.
    That is one of the strongest memories I have.
    A few years ago I decided to start making them myself. And now I know why she had us kids help her. It's really hard to pull. My kids hate the smell of cooked molasses so I went to my grandmothers house to make it this year. I think it brought back memories for her.

    @Mayzie15 I love See's candies I don't think they are here in NJ, used to get them when I lived in AK.

    How did I forget EGGNOG I <3 eggnog, I like to mix the Southern Comfort brand with any "lite" egg nog add some nutmeg and its perfect. SC is too thick, lite is too watery but blended is just right :D

    Hubby does Lactaid eggnog and soy nog.
