Daisy Posted November 24, 2009 Share Posted November 24, 2009 Same with my children. They love the peanut butter balls dipped in chocolate. Hubby always has to have spice drops. I'm not much of a candy person. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

MamaT Posted November 24, 2009 Share Posted November 24, 2009 I am not a candy person, but my dc love candy canes. They also like to make decorated sugar cookies. My mom loves that Christmas candy in a tin. It is hard candy with different fillings inside. It is tradition that my kids buy it for her every year.

Pajama Mama Posted November 25, 2009 Share Posted November 25, 2009 My kids(and I) love Reindeer Kisses that we make each December. They are so easy for the kids to make. Take small twisted pretzels and place a hershey's kiss on each of them. Warm them in the oven just until the kisses are warm. Take them out and gently push a red m&m into the center of each. They are choc covered pretzels. We could make them at any time but we only want them in December. We make other things too like fudge and lots of cookies.

Cera Posted November 25, 2009 Share Posted November 25, 2009 Not a Christmas candy but one I only get at Christmas...Violet Crumble. Each year DH special orders a case of 24 and I ration them through the year. Unfortunately I might have to share with the kids this year (which means I had better get 2 boxes).

Suzanne in ABQ Posted November 25, 2009 Share Posted November 25, 2009 Brach's Peppermint Nougats! The round individually wrapped candies that are red and white around the edges and have a Christmas tree in the middle. Yes! These are my absolute favorites, but I couldn't remember what they're called. Thanks for remembering for me. Oh, and BikeBookBread, don't worry about your crowns! The worst that can happen is that the crown comes out. (Well, swallowing it would be worse than that, but you aren't going to swallow your crown!) Anyway, if the crown comes off, just brush your teeth really well, put some Fixodent on the crown and glue it back in until you can get to the dentist to cement it in again. No biggie. Definitely not worth giving up your favorite chewy, pepperminty, gooey Christmas treat! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Actually, they taste fine with crowns. (Don't do this...learn vicariously from my expensive mistake....) :001_huh: Sandy Edit: Oh, now I see. It's not bad as long as you don't *swallow* the crown.
