cherry vanilla nougat~ think of it as chewy ice creamThis is a new addition to my cookie/candy platters & boxes this year…every year I give out an assortment of sugar cookies, gingerbread men, fudge, rum balls… and the new additions this year are butter mints, eggnog truffles and these. Yum.
Anyway… can you believe how quickly the holidays happen? It was just Halloween. What happened to Thanksgiving? ! I remember being a kid, and it was forever to Christmas. I also remember one year when I had nothing to open up on Christmas morning- because my mom gave in to letting me open my presents early. I think that explains why I don’t even like to open presents… I like prolonging it as long as possible. I also think the tree looks prettier with wrapped packages underneath. It always looks naked at 11am on December 25th. Am I weird? I guess so… This year, my hubby and I have a tiny tree out in our family room, it’s got white lights and crimson velvet bows and strategically places strands of shiny tinsel- it’s “our” tree- where we place our girts to each other. You can bet I’ll be making excused to not open gifts up until at least noon. There is a bigger family tree. The little tree we got for practically nothing a few days ago, and “practically nothing” is just my price! Now, I need to share another thing with y’all. You guys have watched my little one grow up with me, and she just had her first Christmas program.
I’m a proud mama. Okay.. you’re hear for nougat. I know. 
butter mints~homemade version of the melt in your mouth minty buttery treatButter mints… I have to admit, if I’m at a restaurant and they have a dish of these on the hostess stand, I grab like a five year old kid, and then, I hope that nobody notices. I love butter mints.
I always wondered if they really had butter in them. Have you? Well, I’m here to set the record straight. They do. 
eggnog truffles~ quick easy and tasty recipe to make and share [...] 
I made my yearly eyeballs last week. Doesn’t that sound gross? Well, let me explain: in the old days, I used to not like making any type of cut out that required eyes…because I could never get them “just right”.
Until I realized that with royal icing, I can make a bunch of “perfect” eyes, let them dry and have a ton of them ready for whatever cookie or cupcake I need. Woo-hoo! I have a bag of eyeballs in my pantry.Want some? Keep reading…
