Your Favorite, Guilty, Holiday Treats


Recommended Posts

Not sure if there is a thread for this already but folks the holidays are here and with them come some of the most delicious and most likely most terrible kinds of food you'll see.  Thanksgiving is horrible, true, but after that pumpkin pie, pecan pie, Pumpkin beer, fried turkey, and breadrolls come gingerbread houses, eggnog, various holiday parties with peppermint snacks and for me...my one weakness:

 

coquito.JPG

 

Worse than flan and arroz con dulce is this delicious, Puerto Rican concoction of awful proportions.  There is no way I can think off to make this drink 'healthy'.  You have evaporated milk, sweetened condensed milk, coconut milk, cream of coconut, rum (WHICH MUST BE FROM PUERTO RICO), egg yolks, cinnamon all mixed together into a glorious treat.  I love this stuff, not just because I have a weakness for coconut flavors mixed with eggnogs but because it's the one thing I can make that reminds me of my culture.

 

I will make it again and I will not feel guilty for drinking it; this is a holiday only affair, meant for Christmas and New Years.  I know its' oh so very bad for me, that each 4 oz glass contains some ungodly amount of sugar, but it's delicious.

So Felicidades my friends, this wonderful Holiday season.

 

Fellow Rebels, what is your favorite Holiday treat?  Inquiring minds must know!  :nevreness:

Omg I haven't had coquito in so long, mostly because my old friend that I drifted way from use to make it lot during Christmas. So addicting.

 

My guilty holiday treat is peppermint bark.

So I notice a theme going, namely pie and booze.

 

Delicious and horrible.  Especially when put together.

My mom makes the best Buckeyes, thankfully she made them this year before I decided to get my act together. Not like that made the numbers of them I ate okay.

 

I had to look those up!  Man those look delicious evil!  Thank goodness I am not a big peanut butter person (chocolate on the other end...)

(I had this this fall, not as good as liquid pumpkin pie would have you imagine, but still tasty.)

Pecan pie and bourbon. Both of which have zero redeeming value, but definitely qualify as guilty holiday treats.

They're both good for my soul!

I kinda want to try it.

 

You guys are making me feel lucky that I can't stand the smell of alcohol (for some reason I hone into the near rubbing alcohol smell in anything). But I could get behind eating lots and lots of pie.

 

Also wrong holiday, but I've been really craving candy corn today for some reason, and that's nothing but a bad decision right there.

Candy corn is slippery slop sir. Don't do it.

 

But if you must, here you go.

This is the last website I ever needed to know about... it's so magical.

 

 

They sell 30lbs of Runts.... who needs that many Runts?

People like me.

 

How am I suppose to enjoy the taste what a banana of the 60s use to taste like? Time machine? Because I so have one

Mulled wine, especially Crabbies Mulled Ginger Wine. Sooooo evil, but so good! And mince pies.

I'm a traditionalist when it comes to Christmas excesses. :P

Candy cane Hershey's Kisses.  Even better than peppermint bark IMO.

 

Also I make Heath Bar cookies.  Basically chocolate chip cookies, but I replace half the chocolate chips with toffee pieces.  They've been a big hit at Christmas parties this year.

I totally forgot about those kisses. They're so good.

 

Also, are you secretly my mom because that's her recipe for chocolate chip cookies?

Mulled wine is delicious!  For Christmas my MIL is probably gonna be making that while I make the coquito.  So double the boozy horridness!
