I started my Christmas baking last weekend. I truly enjoy making homemade goodies to give to my friends! The problem is that I love to sample my work...I have to make sure it tastes good....right???
So far, Tony and I have made 3 batches of our awesome Chex Mix. This is not your standard microwave for 10 minutes chex mix...no, no...this stuff ROCKS! A single batch fills up a foil turkey roaster pan and consists of lots of butter and spices and about 6 hours of baking. It may be a lot of work, but the results are so good!! After this last batch, I told Tony to hide it from me. Once I start eating it, I just can't stop.....Ahhhh!
I am also making No Bake Cookies this year (we'll refer to them as NBC during the rest of this post). Although "NBC" may be easy to make, they are not easy to perfect. They are usually too dry or they stay soooo gooey that you can't eat them without needing a spoon. Well, for some reason, Tony and I have been given the gift of "NBC's". We've figured out how long you have to let them boil based on the humidity that day and I must say, we're a pretty good cookie team! We made about 16 dozen last Christmas...which fully explains why I am on a diet this Christmas...hehehe. Over the weekend I made 3 dozen and I was pretty dang proud of myself....I only ate one cookie! Again, I had to make sure they tasted okay before I gave them to my friends. Right? hehehe I still have about 6 dozen more to make, so I'm hoping my will stays strong. Dang...I just love No Bake Cookies!!
