Good afternoon!
today i woke up thinking about holiday baking, and candies.
for today's Question of the Day......
What are some of your favorite holiday baked items and candies? If you do baking around the holidays -- What are some of your favorite things to make for the holiday season?
i'll start!
this morning, the first thing that came to my mind was ribbon candy. i always loved that when i was a kid, but i'm not sure i'd actually still like it. and then i thought of those chocolate oranges...... followed by candy canes -- with the thought that i prefer the traditional peppermint canes, versus the many other flavors that are now available.
i do bake during the holiday season. what i bake varies from year to year. i like variety! this year i plan on baking candy cane (carob) brownies, and making several flavors of fudge -- (carob) chocolate orange fudge, orange cream fudge, and candy cane fudge.
i'll bake for some Christmas gifts, and i'll bake a Cinnamon Sugar (aka, Snickerdoodle) Cake for myself at the beginning of December. i haven't decided yet, what i'll bake for the week of Christmas (for myself). i like to make something new and special each year.
How about you -- what are some of your favorites?
