Christmas Treats 2008

· by Mr. Me · General

This year's edition of holiday treats made at my house:

1)  Spritz cookies - I love these almondy, buttery little bites of heaven.

2)  Fudge - I tried Alton Brown's recipe again, but it turned to sugar again.  I'll try a different recipe next time.

3)  Caramels - My mom's recipe is excellent, and, surprisingly, contains absolutely no brown sugar.  I cooked it to a little higher temperature and it's a bit firmer than my mom used to make, but I like it a little chewier.

4)  Almond Brittle - Think upscale peanut brittle.

I think that's all I'm making this year.  No hand-dipped pretzels or peppermint almond bark this year.

What are you making this Christmas?
