“This is the only thumbprint cookie recipe I will ever use. They turn out delicate and delectable! Other recipes yield dry and tasteless cookies… not this recipe.” – Deb

“This is a traditional Bohemian Christmas bread. It’s along the same lines as the German Christmas Stollen. Houska is pronounced – ho-ska. I prefer this over the German version because I don’t like the taste of the traditional dried, candied Christmas fruit.” – Lori

“This is a recipe that’s a must during Christmas. I make it every year, especially because it is my daughter’s favorite.” – Lily

“There is nothing like a plate full of homemade goodies. Here’s a fudge that is sure to please. Not only does this have eye appeal, but it is tasty as well. This fudge is guaranteed not to last very long.” – Freda

“I got this recipe from my sister. Toffee-like without the chocolate!” – Susan

“Tis the season! And with one of my favorite holidays just around the corner, my mom and I decided to make one of my favorite candies, Peppermint Bark. But instead of the traditional candy, we made it into a fudge.” – Kate

“These marshmallows are so easy, and making them is so rewarding. You’ll really impress your friends around the holidays, serving these with hot cocoa. They also make great gifts along with a jar of homemade cocoa mix!” – Jordan

“Sweet and salty goodness! Perfect snack for the holiday time.” – Carol

“Hot Cocoa Bombs are hollow chocolate balls filled with little surprises that pop out when hot milk is poured on them.” – Debbie

“This Old-Fashioned Peanut Brittle is made by my dad every holiday. It can be made up to one month ahead of time.” – Shelley

“There were Christmases when I just didn’t have the time to bake loads of cookies. But even during those slim cookie years, I always made these. They are a Swedish spice cookie with a tradition. Place the cookie in the palm of your left hand and press down on it with the thumb of your right hand. If the cookie breaks into 3 pieces and you can eat all three pieces without saying a word, you get to make a wish.” – Joanne

“My mother got this recipe from a coworker many years ago. It takes a little time to make, but OMG, awesome. This is my husband’s favorite cookie!” – Elizabeth

“My niece and I were recently shopping in downtown Nashville, and we stopped into a quaint candy shop. The chocolatier was creating a chocolate masterpiece including milk chocolate, caramel, and sea salt. I watched her and I even bought a piece to replicate. Although the milk chocolate was delicious, I thought dark chocolate would be scrumptious. I was correct! This quick and easy bark makes a great hostess gift.” – Darlene

“As a child, receiving these cookies from my Grammy Peg was a huge part of our Christmas tradition. Now, my mom, sisters, sister-in-law, nieces, and daughter-in-law all get together and make these delicious cookies every year on the Friday after Thanksgiving.” – Bridget

“A sweet, salty, smoky, spicy, and downright tasty bacon jam that is the definition of umami. This bacon jam goes well on toast for breakfast and makes for a great condiment in sandwiches and burgers of all sorts!” – Kevin
