Merry Monday Memories #2

On this beautiful Monday morning {15 inches of snow here!}, we’re sharing another round of our favorite Christmas eats!

If you missed last week, be sure to check out the post for my mom’s famous fudge recipe {amazing as a Christmas gift!}, Caramelitas and Anise Cookies!

1. Snow Tea

This “tea” is simply a warm vanilla milk, and it’s amazing.  Perfect for a snowy morning.

2. Dark Chocolate Toffee Bites {aka, Christmas “crack”}

We’ve made this recipe a lot healthier than the original and it still tastes amazing and is highly addicting.  You’ll want to make a double batch of this treat. 

3. Whole Wheat Molasses Crinkles

These cookies are absolutely amazing.  By far they are our favorite Christmas cookie – a must make each year.  We end up making about 3 batches by the time things are all said and done.  We just can’t get enough.  And, because they are made with whole wheat flour, they are a healthier Christmas treat too!

4. Chipper Crinkle Cookies

These are my favorite from when I was a little girl!  Chocolate-y cookies, dark chocolate chips and powdered sugar.  Yum.  Like mint?  Try the mint version

5. Caramel Cranberry Chex Mix

This stuff is dangerously addicting.  We’ve added popped popcorn after cooking too for more of a sweet/salty combo and loved the results. 

Thanks for joining us for this addition of Merry Monday Memories!

Merry Monday Memories

Happy Monday!  Every Monday in December, well start the week off with a look down memory lane at some of our favorite Christmas cookie recipes posted in years past. 

I know there are a number of long-time faithful readers here, but also that there are lots of new folks here too (hi!), so I hope this is fun for all!

We’ll kick things off with three recipes I look forward to every Christmas season:

(1) Mom’s Famous Amaretto Fudge

This fudge has been making an appearance at every Christmas for more than 20 years.  It’s fantastic, and is the only chocolate-based fudge that I really, really, love. 

It makes a HUGE batch, and works great for a gift.  It’s also nice to have on hand to serve guests during Christmas and new years. 

(2) Dark Chocolate Oatmeal Caramelitas

These bars are amazing.  And addicting.  My mom has been making them for years and I love enjoying them at Christmas.  Gooey chocolate and caramel layered between two oatmeal crusts. 

(3) Anise Cookies

These cookies have been a part of my Christmas season as long as my husband has – going on 6 years!  They are a family tradition from Frog Prince’s family, and I absolutely love them.  Anise is a fun extract to use in these cookies; but if anise isn’t your thing, go for vanilla or almond and you will have an excellent roll-out sugar cookie.
