I've got the itch...

it's that time of year and I want to bake lots and lots of really unhealthy, sweet things! I've been thinking about all of the things that I need to make and all of the things that I want to make for this holiday season. I know I have to make my caramel corn because people at work are demanding it. I also have to make sugar cookies because it just wouldn't be Christmas without sugar cookies. I've been searching for fun new recipes and I think I've come up with some good ideas. I have these no bake peanut butter bars and salty peanut brittle bars that I want to make. Also, nobody in Michigan knows what almond bark is so I'm definitely going to have to make some covered pretzels. It's a good thing I've been practicing being good the last few months :)

Anyway, I don't really know anything else. If any of my new recipes turn out well I'll share them with you! Have a great day!

I'm not quite as ambitious as you. I have fallen in love with the Chips Ahoy cookies with Heath Bar in them. YUM! I'm sure there are other food treasures that will present themselves as the holiday season continues. I love almond bark pretzels.

The lady whom I was going to get the hummus recipe from had a bad accident recently that left her with a broken arm and a cracked shoulder. She's been able to work, email, etc. Sorry!

We're all going to be in trouble with food, I fear. Caramel corn sounds yummy too. You have my sweet tooth craving junk food already. At least you can share it with others. That will help with not overeating, hopefully. :)

I am excited to make chocolate covered peanut butter balls (Tiffany calls them Buckeyes). They are less than healthy of course but I don't have to make a huge batch. I might actually cut Tiffany's recipe in half.

I am actually in the mood for a type of no-bake cookie that includes chocolate, oatmeal, and peanut butter. You mix all that (with other ingredients too) and drop them on wax paper to cool. They harden and taste delicious. Mom used to make them.

I actually don't care for almond bark. I'm gonna make almond bark pretzels though for Jon. I usually make cornflake Christmas wreaths but I'm not sure that will happen this year. Hopefully we'll get some batches of popcorn balls made when we're in Waukon.
