I got to thinking the other day of the song from the Sound of Music (that for whatever reason is a Christmas song....I don't get why) called "My Favorite Things". I think it was in the middle of a conversation that I was having with my mother that made me think of this song. Whatever the reason was, I thought it would be fun to write about a few of my favorite things. I have titled this post with a "Part 1" because I'm hoping to add to this list of favorite things, especially during this Christmas season.
Favorite thing #1:
| Candy Cane Kissees |
These wonderful morsels of greatness are perhaps THE most delicious pieces of candy EVER made. No. Really. I don't lie. The other week I waited on a party of ladies who had come into the restaurant for a Christmas party. At the end of their little get together, the lady who had arranged everything handed myself and the other waitress a little back of chocolate candies. I figured it was your usual pieces of candy, ya know, Chocolate Kisses, Reese's Cups, maybe a Twix, or some collection of other candies. Anywho, I opened it and sure enough there were Twix, Reese's Cups, and THESE. Honestly, I didn't realize what THESE were at first.
Then I ate one.
My life changed forever.
Ya know that moment when you think you are about to drink or eat something and your mind is all made up that what you THINK you are consuming is really that and as soon as you put it in your mouth, as soon as your little taste buds are going crazy, you realize that's a completely different flavor than what you were expecting??????
That's what happened with me. After making this comment to my younger sister that I had found my favorite Christmas candy of all time, she informed me that they came out every year and was SURE that I had tried these awesome pieces of white chocolate hugged with peppermint flavoring and sprinkled with little bits of candy cane. Whatever the case may be!! I love these things and they have QUICKLY become One of My Favorite Things during the Christmas season.
I am very interested to perhaps make some cookies or even peppermint cupcakes with these wonderful little things. :)

What are some of your favorite yummy Holiday treats, homemade or store bought??
I love this! I've never had one, but I'm sure i'd love them - don't buy too many to last through the year, they wouldn't be as enjoyable next year if you do ; ) i love all assortment of xmas cookies you can get through out the holiday.
ReplyDeleteYou should go buy some and try them out. :) I think you would like them a lot.
