Christmas is always filled with goodies. Whats your favorite? I love those after eight mints and turtles (the chocolate ones).

Terry's Chocolate Mint!

Oh, this is such an 'evil' thread every year - but inspiring!

Aside from all my favourite baked treats -

I absolutely love After Eight mints, but they have gotten SO crazy expensive these last few years (for no reason, too!). PC has a version out which are just awesome, and maybe even better - so I love those!

Well, I'm a sucker for a good old fashioned peppermint Candy Cane!

Quality Street - have had them since I was a kid. My siblings and I used to eat them all in a day, if my mom didn't stop us!
Terry's Chocolate Orange - I actually only started eating these last year - and now I'm hooked!

Turtles and ALMOND ROCCA!!!
I used to love the Ferarro Rocce (sp?) but got drunk many moons ago and "expelled" said chocolate and liquor... ew.

Quality Street my fav

YESS, Almond Rocca is amazing. I always try to eat the chocolate/almond outside first...then savour the middle brittle part...but it never happens. lol I can't resist eating it all in 10 seconds!

Homemade gingerbread cookies dipped in dark chocolate is yummy too.
..anything with dark chocolate/mint/orange :D

December 2008 I ate a whole tray of this, I think it had 24 pcs. Well, I was pregnant and that was my excuse for not sharing with anybody.

Lol, awesome! I love them, too - just the original ones, like in your pic - I don't really like the two newer varieties.

candy cane ice cream...

[erin9mmm]

Chocolate cover cherries have always been my favourite.
As for baking, miniature Christmas cakes with RUM SAUCE!!!!

[amandamck]

We call them Hello Dollies...graham cracker crust, coconut, milk chocolate and condensed milk, melted in oven. I actually had a family member ask for a takeout box and scooped a pile before leaving. I only make them at Christmas because I'd eat them for breakfast lunch and dinner. We alway open a box of Quality street while opening our presents.

Toblerone, Quality Street, After Eights, Turtles..you name it I'm there! We also get a "selection box" from the local British shop, which is something we'd always get as kids with favourite bars of chocolate.

Come on Christmas!!
