smashmp Posted December 19, 2014 Report Share Posted December 19, 2014 We've got an old (I mean OLD) family friend who still makes fudge for my grandmother to give to me every single year. I'm not sure how that woman does it, but she makes it by the truckload.Also, Advent calendars...anything chocolate really. And almond cookies doused in powdered sugar.Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk 1 Quote "Stay strong until you win against yourself.

Oramac Posted December 19, 2014 Report Share Posted December 19, 2014 Wait White Castle makes stuffing? No, but you can buy the sliders and make it pretty easily. Also, fun random fact: for Valentine's Day, you can actually get reservations at White Castle and they'll put out nice tablecoths and have wait-staff and the whole 9 yards. Might even have candles. I'm not sure. They sell 30lbs of Runts.... who needs that many Runts? As someone who drives in parades a lot, parades need massive bags of candy.

Maj. Bloodnok Posted December 19, 2014 Report Share Posted December 19, 2014 For me, it's cookies. Almost any kind of cookies, though I am particularly helpless when confronted with chocolate crinkles. Or chocolate anything, for that matter. Mince pie, too. I've taken a stab at steamed puddings (plum, ginger, ect.), but nothing compares to a slab of mince pie. Unless it's another slab of mince pie. Booze too; year before last I made actual Smoking Bishop punch. Red wine, port, clove-studded roasted orange, the whole thing. It was delicious. It was so delicious I drank most of it myself. I felt delicate the next day. 2 Quote "If you get into trouble, you can always eat something, blow something up, or throw penguins." - Jim Henson Link to comment

MetalPinata Posted December 20, 2014 Report Share Posted December 20, 2014 My work Christmas party was at a buffet and the fricken dessert table had so many things I wanted (but avoided, by loudly congratulating myself whenever anyone asked me if I was getting dessert) there was fudge, sugar cookies, and pecan pie. I'm honestly happier I resisted though, but I needed to again do a combination of congratulating myself and commiserating. Also I think I might make boozy eggnog for my brother this year for Christmas. I used to make a non-alcoholic version for him as a kid, so this would be a fun surprise for him. What kind should I use (I saw Bourbon, Brandy, and Rum mentioned), all I know is he likes booze and he like eggnog so boozy eggnog should work as a present. 2 Quote Link to comment

I'd be half tempted to make three kinds of boozy eggnog (if it's not too much work) and see which one he would prefer . I love rum so that's my usual go to.

They're like... chocolatey, condensed milk spheres of heaven, rolled in chocolate sprankles. (I can't bring myself to type "sprinkles" when "sprankles" makes me laugh.) Yummm. 2 Quote Link to comment
