I bake often and typically get compliments, but this time, it was off the hook! I had a neighbor tell me they were the best thing she ever put in her mouth and another neighbor called to thank me and I heard her husband in the back yelling words including "awesome." I recommend ditching the white chocolate, go with all (dark) chocolate and use the cupcake bites variation from Bakerella. I also couldn't make the balls attractive just by dipping. Using the candy mold helped a lot!

Not sure what that means for mini-MEP, but ham is awfully delicious, so it can only be good.<br /><br />We didn't get one single letter this year. We got probably 60 cards and not one. I figured the tradition was dying out. I would like to see them, though. Maybe I'll do one next year. <br /><br />My go-to holiday treat is peanut butter balls. Which I think Ohio folks call Buckeyes. Everyone I have ever met loves them. They're labor intensive but SOO good.<br /><br />Merry Christmas!!CaraBeehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04614627167922944626noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3436677792458357476.post-42285250450718787492009-12-23T20:20:27.473-06:002009-12-23T20:20:27.473-06:00I make the same peppermint chocolate bark every ye...I make the same peppermint chocolate bark every year, and it is super easy. I'm not sure people truly love it, but it looks pretty and festive, and I'm going to hang onto it as my trademark holiday food. Just throw a box of candy canes (okay, you have to unwrap them) into the blender, chop until not dust, then mix them into a bag of chocolate chips you have melted in the microwave. Spread on a cookie sheet, throw in the fridge overnight, then break into pieces. Just use your old ratty cookie sheet, though, because if you use a new non stick one, it will not come off the sheet, and you will throw the whole pan in the sink and stomp off, and your husband will have to save your butt and the candy with the pizza cutter. <br />I am fascinated by your ham craving this pregnancy. I remember with Little Bit it was basil, and don't know about the bub. Do you think this has any connection to the kid's personality? B/c with O. it was Cheezits and Cheetos, and with N. it was doughnuts, so I'm wondering if that means you are going to have a southern belle and a kid that speaks Italian and I'm going to have junk food chomping couch potatoes? Not really, but interesting to think about.<br />I def. agree with your holiday letter theories. I want to read more letters too, but am afraid to write one, so am glad for your pact.<br />Have safe and merry travels. I am so hugging my mom tomorrow.E...https://www.blogger.com/profile/04405932437380095945noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3436677792458357476.post-42486149264208533482009-12-23T19:14:21.538-06:002009-12-23T19:14:21.538-06:00I don't think your post sounds bah-humbug-ish....I don't think your post sounds bah-humbug-ish. I think it sounds like Christmas. Especially the few moments of calm amongst the storm. I got filled up reading it. But then again, as it's Acey's birthday today, this is no surprise: everything is causing me to fill up.<br /><br />Oh, and I've had CKM's pretzel-rolo-nut confection, and I found it much to my liking.Actchyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14320025313541534433noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3436677792458357476.post-89535519397990850022009-12-23T13:12:35.224-06:002009-12-23T13:12:35.224-06:00First, your boys are adorable.

If not, make your holiday go-to a pretzel with a rolo on top. Put them in the oven until the rolo is slightly melted, then top with a pecan. Delicious, and the most time consuming part is unwrapping the rolo. I also discovered this year a tasty treat that involves mixing peanuts (your boys aren't allergic, are they?) with Heath bits. Mix them up with a package of milk chocolate candy topping. Scoop them onto wax paper and watch them turn into deliciousness.
