Favourite Christmas baking
12/5/2017 at 4:58 PM

Just wondering what everyone’s favourite Christmas baking/recipe is. I usually don’t do a whole ton of Christmas baking however have decided this year to do more. So Im interested in getting some new ideas and to know what others “must have” baking items are. Thanks!

Does anyone make this any more? Used to be my mother's signature Xmas dessert topped with ice cream. A pain to make but well worth it.
My all time personal favorite is shortbread too. Then nanaimo bar.
Anything but mincemeat tarts or Xmas pudding.....

Must make every year

- nuts and bolts
- toffee Rice Krispie cookies with cherries
- almond raspberry shortbread cookies
- peanut butter balls dipped in Chocolate (tastes like Reese pieces)

Then I usually try 1-3 new recipes if I have time.

However this year, we’ve started eating low carb, no sugar so that eliminated my baking lmao . Kinda looking forward to that!!! I may still do the nuts and bolts because I get requests for it and I use it for simple, inexpensive gifts for people like the mail lady, the UPS driver (he comes here a lot lol), my doctor, my chiro, etc. Can add in a lotto ticket or coffee gift card and voila! Easy gift. Would be good for teachers too??

Sorry got a bit off topic lol
