Yesterday was our main holiday baking day. We (well, mainly "I") baked from about 10 am - 8pm. However, I have to say, that not all of that time was spent baking. Unfortunately, as I was unloading the dishwasher I had an accident. I was putting some wine glasses away up on a shelf and a couple of them fell. I reached up to grab them and cut my arm. I didn't even feel the cut because I was so frustrated that the glass had broken and fallen into the nice platter of fudge that I had just made. What a waste of good chocolate! But then, I looked down and saw that my arm was bleeding pretty bad. Long story short - I ended up at the local ER with about 12 stitches. Yuck!
Once I got back home and got the kids fed and bathed, I finished up my baking as I sipped on a hot mug of mulled wine (double yum!). Here is what I ended up with at the end of the night:
- 2 batches of Peanut Butter Fudge
- 2 Batches of Chocolate Toffee Bars
- 2 batches of Chocolate Mint Chip Cookies
- 2 batches of Candy-Cane Topped Sugar Cookies
- 1 batch of Buck Eyes
I was pleased...considering!
Here are my family's favorites out of all of the stuff we made:
If you are interested in any of the recipes, leave me a comment and I will email it to you.
So, what are your family's favorite Christmas treats?
