I have fallen in love with Cookies and Cream Rice Krispie treats!
And I love anything with pumpkin, which is always available during the holiday season.
My mom’s peanut blossom cookies, so good!
I love snickerdoodles!
My favorite holiday treat is a bar cookie my mom makes called scrumptious chocolate layer bars. They are a vanilla-y cookie with chocolate and nuts in the middle. Yum!
My mom makes this really good dessert with pudding and marshmallows and peppermint and this yummy crust…ok, I’m drooling now!
I’d probably have to choose fudge (no nuts, please!)… yum!
We make homemade peppermint ice cream every Christmas and it’s definitely a favorite holiday treat! Mmm mmm!

Anything with chocolate, please!
Mom’s red velvet cake!
I just love mexican wedding cookies!!!!!

Well I have two favorite Holiday treats. I can only eat them one time a year because they are wickedly addicting for me. The first is freshly made Chocolate Covered Pralines ( in the south we call them turtles) and Divinity. Oh pure heaven these two are. I simply can not be trusted around these to goodies.
I love to eat chocolate crinkles during the holidays. It’s perfect with milk
My favorite holiday treat is the candy cane hershey’s kisses that come out this time of year!
I love chocolate truffles!
my wifes pecan pie and the cream cheese lemon bars are what the holidays are all about !!
It’s got to be cheesecake
I love truffles (peanut butter and oreo) and sugar cookies!
Sugar cookies…it is the only time I make them and they are so good!
Yikes, how do I narrow it down? Any Christmas cookie that has lots of chocolate in it!
My favorite holiday treats are these amazing Caramel Breakfast Rolls that my aunt introduced to us years ago (and claims she doesn’t remember making them)… It’s now become my holiday duty to make these sinfully delicious Caramel Rolls each year. They are the perfect “take-a-break-from-opening-presents” treat.
Iced Butter Cookies, although I think I like making them more than anything, it is a moment I get to share with my Mom and my Amber that I have always enjoyed. The best part are the “muntant” cookies that you get to turn into something crazy and explain why then eat the evidence!
mmmm i just love ginger cookies. When they are made with oil so that they are crispy on the outside but soft and chewy when you bite into them. oh man im salivating hahaha
My favorite holiday treat is the classic gingerbread man cookie. I love the simplistic taste of ginger and nutmeg. I love them, especially if they are a little chewy!
My grandma’s coconut chocolate balls – they are the best!
My favorite holiday treat is cinammon peanut butter cookies. They are a snap to make and yummy with a glass of milk!
I love having eggnog bread pudding french toast. A local eatery makes it only for about four weeks right around the Christmas holidays.
My favorite holiday treat is my mom’s christmas wreathes! She makes the best ones. They are similar to rice krispie treats!
my favorite holiday treat is molasses spice cookies! nothings says the holidays like the flavors of molasses, cinnamon, and ginger
It is very hard to choose just one, but a favorite would have to be good old cutout cookies. It isn’t necessarily my favorite to eat, but just the tradition of making them with my family every year is something I will always cherish.
OH FUN! I love new cookbooks
There are so many great holiday treats! In fact, I find myself baking some of my favorites all year round. I love chocolate chip shortbread cookies dipped in chocolate. It’s like a little bite of heaven!
My favorite holiday treat is my aunt’s cranberry tea!
I tweeted! @tifscatku

This cool weather is just right for making tamales and menudo!
Cookies-crinkle and peppermint crunch are so festive and fun!
My fave holiday treat is eggnogg spiked with good whiskey or rum. Also peppermint bark!
