My favorite candy is peanut butter fudge and favorite cookie is Oreo cookie balls. I make these every year plus a few other sweets.

Just wondering what everyone else likes. I might add something different to the line up this year.

and Merry Christmas!

What kind of chocolate do you use for the Oreos?

Ina Garten's ginger cookies - extra crystalized ginger.

Dipped in cinnamon cream cheese dip if you're feeling extra fat.

Oh, I might need to make a batch of these for my husband. I don't care for mint but he loves it. Oh and the fig cookies are truly a labor of love.

Is it like a ginger snap? Oh and I'm always feeling extra fat! I've never tried that flavor cream cheese.

My wife reminded me that it's not cinnamon cream cheese. We make a pumpkin cream cheese dip with pumpkin puree, crushed gingersnaps, spices, cream cheese, maple syrup, and homemade whipped cream.

They aren't really snap cookies. Too big and chewy from the molasses.

Here's a LINK to the recipe.

The wife (MHNBPF) makes killer divinity.

We have made pfeffernusse for years, but haven't in the last few. Maybe now that we are retired we will do them again this year.
