I think my favorite thing to eat around the holidays that's a tree are the chocolate covered cherries with the clear filling.

My father was from Latvia and every Christmas he and mum made Piragi, Latvian Bacon Buns. They are now both dead but my family and I still keep the tradition and the treat of eating them going.

Day 5 My favourite holiday treat is: Peanut Butter Delight or as my brother and the rest of our family calls it Peanut Butter Surprise! The blend of whip cream, oreos, and peanutbutter is amazing and I always have to make sure to get at least one piece every year if not more because it's that amazing! <3

Day 5: I like the Nanaimo bars. They are three layers of chocolate, coconut, custard, sugar and tons of other ingredients. They are a bitch to make but they taste great.

Day 5: My favorite holiday treat is gingerbread cookies. I love how it can be made into different shapes like gingerbread men or gingerbread trees decorated with frosting and candy or a decorative gingerbread house. I love gingerbread when it is warm and fresh out of the oven.

day 5 I can't cook so these'll have to do

My favourite treat is a German classic; Cinnamon Stars. You can find out more here

Look at these yummy treats and maybe particupate by telling about your own?

My favorite holiday treat is simple, easy though perhaps a bit tedious to make, and delicious. Definitely not a very HEALTHY treat, but still. It's Hillshire Farm Lil Smokies (tiny little smoked sausages), wrapped in bacon and stuck through with a toothpick to hold the bacon on. Then you nestle them in a slow cooker on top of a layer of brown sugar, and then another layer of bacon-wrapped sausages on top of the first layer, and then cover liberally with brown sugar.

You end up with this sticky, almost caramel-like sauce made from the bacon fat and the melted brown sugar, and the bacon gets crisp, and it's a delicious little finger food snack.

My favorite holiday treat is chocolate no bake cookies

Day 5

ok so I'm going very traditional with this but I LOVE ginger snaps so ofcourse my fav. holiday treat is a cute gingerbread man

My favourite holiday treats would be mince pies and candy canes! :D

My favourite holiday treat I can actually eat though would be cherries and chocolate. <3 nom nom nom Being able to just nibble on delicious small things throughout the day on Christmas makes me very happy.

My favorite holiday treat is eggnog. I just really like the taste of it, that's all there was to it.

If by "treat" you mean "food" I got this one /covered/! Sometimes I think the mantra of Judaism is "they tried to kill us, they failed, let's eat." Every holiday has some sort of food associated with it, and Chanukkah is no exception. While anything fried in oil is fair game (this one wreaks havoc on your arteries), my favorite has to be latkes. Fried potato pancakes, a bit like hashbrowns in patty form, they are amazing anytime but best during the holiday. Crisp on the outside and just a little bit soft on the inside, they are best eaten when so hot that the applesauce is the only thing that keeps you from burning your mouth. <3

Day 5 entry:

My favorite holiday treat is Trader Joe's Chocolate Liqueur Cherries. They are only available this time of year.

Of course, as just posted above, my favorite Chanukah treat is latkes with applesauce!

My favorite Christmas treat is what my family calls cocoa cookies but you might know them as fudge no bakes
