Christmas Chocolates Winners

Thank you so much for sending me your Christmas food traditions.  I was sincerely touched by all of them. You have some amazing family traditions stories. I’m wondering how I can fit them all into one the month of December.  I have decided to have you all adopt me into your family so that I can experience all of your fabulous Christmas traditions.  Aarthi my family and I would like to adopt you and your traditions from India.  We stood around the computer and read about the fabulous foods your make while our mouths were watering.

I remember many traditions from my childhood, but I remember special treats brought to our house by neighbors the most.  Every gift  was a homemade delight.   Liala’s Norwegian cookies topped the list.  Today our family looks forward to Becky’s Baklava (we say with reverence) or Lisa homemade fudge sauce (amazing).
I think we have become so busy with the holidays that these homemade traditions are starting to fade.   I believe we need to pass them on to our children and grandchildren.  Let the legacy continue.

Thank you for making my Christmas so wonderful with your stories and traditions.  I am in awe with how much you do.

The winners for the chocolates giveaway are via random.org:

Megan Trueblood from New York
Joni Larsen Marshall from Stansbury Park, Utah




Here are a couple of fabulous desserts you may want to consider for the holidays

Le Bete Noir  if you are a chocoholic.  This is a deep chocolate flourless torte.  It is so easy to make and can be made several days in advance.  It can also be frozen and removed from the freezer a few hours before you want to serve.  
 If you really want to impress everyone, try this Dark Chocolate Crepe Cake
I have posted this in three separate posts to make it less daunting.  
Two fabulous chocolate desserts that would completely impress your family and friends. 
Merry Christmas.

This is a very quick version of Christmas Stollen This is a very quick version of Christmas Stollen flavored bread. The sweet dough is filled with dried fruit, candied orange and lemon peel, and almonds. 

The dough is wrapped around a ribbon of marzipan filling. Bake until golden then dust heavily with powder sugar. 

I like to toast a thick slice then scoop out the warm marzipan and spread it all over my toasted Stollen 🤤

Biscotti literally means “twice baked”, and do Biscotti literally means “twice baked”, and double baking is the secret to these crunchy Italian cookies. Their hard texture makes them perfect for dipping into your hot drink. 

Chocolate Hazelnut Biscotti are my favorite and I add them to my Christmas cookie list because they make such a cute gift, but most of all I love dipping them in my cocoa.

Top on my list is this adorable 
Norwegian Berlinerkranser. 

This cute little cookie from my childhood is buttery with a hint of orange. 🤤 I can’t have a Christmas without these cute little cookies.
