I always make peppermint bark, chocolate covered pretzels and the always requested and loved, White Trash Mix. </p> <p>I just eat the cookies that my Mom and grandma make. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/holiday-baking#post-378563 Mon, 05 Nov 2012 09:09:41 +0000 prettylizy 378563@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>My mom and I do an all day bake-a-thon where whe massive cook about 10 or 12 different types of cookies and treats. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/holiday-baking#post-378551 Mon, 05 Nov 2012 09:04:39 +0000 sslm 378551@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@Silva: oooo! The chocolate covered ones look amazing!! I'm definitely doing that. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/holiday-baking#post-378544 Mon, 05 Nov 2012 09:00:24 +0000 blackbird 378544@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Meee!!! I'm thinking about making homemade caramels. I also make jam, which I've already done :). This year I bought little mini jars and made a bunch of those, so I am thinking about doing mini jam jars and caramels. Unless I come across something better. You just never know! I like things that ship well. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/holiday-baking#post-378197 Sun, 04 Nov 2012 22:16:33 +0000 pinkcupcake 378197@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I love baking! There are so many recipes I'm hoping to try this season. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/holiday-baking#post-378183 Sun, 04 Nov 2012 22:01:25 +0000 marionberry 378183@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I bake a lot at Christmas....cake balls, sugar cookies, mint brownies and peppermint oreos is what I did last year. I hope to add some new cookies to the mix this year. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/holiday-baking#post-377855 Sun, 04 Nov 2012 18:10:24 +0000 Springtime 377855@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I love baking during the Holidays! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/holiday-baking#post-377854 Sun, 04 Nov 2012 18:09:53 +0000 Silva 377854@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@sslm: yum- those all sound great. I was thinking about trying these ball cookies this year: <a href="http://www.marthastewart.com/296265/peppermint-ball-cookies" rel="nofollow">http://www.marthastewart.com/296265/peppermint-ball-cookies</a></p> <p>@Mrs. Tricycle: That sounds like a good strategy. I feel like I'm in the "boring" part of pregnancy right now (almost 16w), so I'm looking for distractions!</p> <p>@BabyBoecksMom: I work at a residential facility and I was kind of thinking it might be nice to bake for the residents (although we have about 24 families, so it would be a lot!). At the very least I can bake for my co-workers :) </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/holiday-baking#post-377839 Sun, 04 Nov 2012 18:00:36 +0000 BabyBoecksMom 377839@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I bake a TON this time of the year. In fact, my coworkers start asking me when I'm going to start bringing stuff in. I really enjoy making things, just not eating it, so it's always fun to give it away and see other people enjoy it. </p> <p>Between now and Christmas, I'll probably bake at least 15 different kinds of cookies and baked goods. Starting on something tonight! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/holiday-baking#post-377835 Sun, 04 Nov 2012 17:58:26 +0000 Mrs. Tricycle 377835@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>My best GF and I started a cookie baking tradition a few years ago - we spend a Saturday making quadrupled batches of 3 or 4 kinds and then we're both set. Since I'm due in a few weeks, I'm not sure if we'll have time this year :( </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/holiday-baking#post-377822 Sun, 04 Nov 2012 17:53:00 +0000 sslm 377822@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I make chocolate peanut butter balls, shortbreads, Nanaimo bars, and chocolate pb squares every year! I love to bake. I'd love to add something new this year. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/holiday-baking#post-377810 Sun, 04 Nov 2012 17:44:15 +0000 Silva 377810@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@Boogs: I like to bake. I think I'm pretty good, as long as I have a good recipe! My mom always makes stick buns, I will probably help her make those for our families, but I'll probably stick to cookies/fudge - maybe some candy, although I've never really tried it before </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/holiday-baking#post-377807 Sun, 04 Nov 2012 17:42:06 +0000 Boogs 377807@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Mmm have you seen the "turducken cookies" around the internet? They are fun, easy, and delicious!</p> <p>I have a great sticky bun recipe, too. Do you like baking or are you just getting the hang of it? </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/holiday-baking#post-377805 Sun, 04 Nov 2012 17:40:44 +0000 Freckles 377805@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>i usually wrap cookies in acetate paper with pretty ribbon or rafia. last year i made rolo-pecan-pretzels, candied spiced nuts, oatmeal toffee cookies (<a href="http://www.marthastewart.com/315860/oatmeal-toffee-cookies?autonomy_kw=oatmeal%20toffee&#038;rsc=header_1#conversation-container" rel="nofollow">http://www.marthastewart.com/315860/oatmeal-toffee-cookies?autonomy_kw=oatmeal%20toffee&#038;rsc=header_1#conversation-container</a>), and brown butter shorties (<a href="http://smittenkitchen.com/blog/2008/12/brown-butter-brown-sugar-shorties/" rel="nofollow">http://smittenkitchen.com/blog/2008/12/brown-butter-brown-sugar-shorties/</a>) </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/holiday-baking#post-377799 Sun, 04 Nov 2012 17:23:46 +0000 Silva 377799@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Are you planning on doing any baking for gifts this year? </p> <p>We got a stand mixer this summer at our wedding, and I think I want to bake cookies to give to people this year.</p> <p>I'm looking for favorite &amp; tasty recipes, and ideas for packaging :) </p>
