Anyone make their own holiday candy? (cookies, peanuts, bread, recipe)

Just got a 1950s candy cookbook.

I had an aunt who made the best Christmas candy

Do you make any candies for the holiday?

[doll lady]

I do....I just put a Christmas candy, cookie, cake, dessert recipe thread in the recipe section. You may want to occasionally check that for holiday candy recipes. I have more to put on.

Not specifically for the holidays, but I tried my hand at making caramels.

They never hardened up enough to be anything but a caramel sauce for ice cream.

I make divinity and cashew brittle for the holidays, its a family tradition, along with a gabillion German Christmas cookies.

Almost always.I used to enjoy doing it with my mother in law.Imagine my suprise when my brother said a few days ago.You know the guys at work and I were just wondering if you were gonna make it this year,we sure missed it last year.I was so suprised and touched.It showed that he really appreciated it and cared.Even big brothers can be ok at times!

I make lots of cookies and candies for the holidays - several kinds of fudge, chocolate covered cherries, buckeyes, etc.

Yes, Peanut Brittle. My daughter and Daughter in law and I use about 100# of peanuts @ 1 pound per batch..Ya we do make a lot for gifts. Funny thing is I don't eat it.

Mostly cookies and breads but some candies - old fashioned "rock" candy....It's getting to be that time of year where I start planning and making ahead of time what I can.....

I sure do! The family, neighbors, friends & colleagues start asking me around Thanksgiving. It's become a tradition I can't escape from... LoL!

My favorites are coconut covered with chocolate. Those are great year round.
