Do You Make a "Christmas-something" That Would Be Missed? (Food, Treat, Etc)

Awwww that's beautiful. I'm known for cooking in general. People look forward to see what new amazing thing I'm going to make. I've been told someone was going to skip a party until they heard I would be going because they knew the food would be so much better. :)
Every single year I make

Baklava
Chocolate Toffee Squares
Puppy Chow
Cappucino Cheesecake
Triple Chocolate Blackforrest Cake

Some years I get special requests - such as Tira Misu, Mississppi MudPie.

Sure, Cranberry mimosas. Have 20 people Christmas day, they don't even get their coats off before they're askin' for them.

Jeesh, maybe you should start a Cornflake Wreath Mail Order Business!

:)

Well what I am known for during the Holidays isn't as "Christmasie" as cornflake wreaths but I HAVE to make deviled eggs for all the parties we attend. I've been making them for the past 40 years and it just isn't a Christmas party without them. One year at our neighborhood party for a joke I came into the party without my trays of eggs and was almost thrown out...lol

The smallest amount I've made during the Holidays was only 10 dozen eggs (240 halves) and the largest amount was 16 dozen eggs (384 halves!!!).

I am also known by family and friends as the "cookie lady". I usually make around 20 different Christmas cookies and 10 different Christmas candies. Along with my trays of deviled eggs I bring trays of Christmas cookies to parties. This year I am scaling back on cookies and will only be making 15 different kinds..lol

OMG! I actually had a dream about the cornflake wreaths last night! My mom used to work with a lady who made them every year...I loved them when I was a little girl.

Any chance you would share the recipe?

ETA: My "must have that everyone loves" is Gluehwein. Hot, spiced German wine. It's delicious. I use the same recipe found on allrecipes.com

No, but I would like to see a question "does someone make a christmas-something you hate and would like to never see again". LOL! My ex aunt used to make this horrid red hot candy salad thing that everyone hated except my uncle. When they divorced, as a joke my mom called her and told her I really MISSED the salad and could she forward me the recipe. That was years ago and we still bring it up around the holidays and laugh about it!

my husband makes Texas Trash(a very hot and spicy chex mix)- 1 box each of wheat,corn&rice chex and 1 box of cherrios, 1 box of cheezit crackers, 1 can party peanuts, half bag of pretzel sticks. 1 cup bacon grease-( never meant to be healthy!)- 1 stick of butter, garlic powder and tabasco sauce to taste- husband uses 1 bottle- if the smell burns your nose, add a little more then you are done. Mix the grease, butter, garlic and tabasco sauce till melted in a sauce pan- mix the other stuff together in a large roaster and coat with seasoning sauce. Bake in oven at 300 for 2&1/2 hours stirring every 15 mins.
Very tasty and will burn your tongue. We make it every year for his work.
I always make the chocolate covered peanut butter crackers. Those are supper easy and delicious! Make peanut butter sandwiches with ritz crackers- coat in melted chocolate(almond bark) let cool. tasty!

You forgot to include the recipe.......;-)

My mom and her family always made homemade tamales.

Oh my gosh I loved, loved, loved those.

They were made w/love & hard work.

It would take them 3 or more days of hours & hours of just making those
in the kitchen. Let me tell you: they were appreciated and never went to
waste.

I miss those.

I have nothing like that! That sounds delicious tho so would you be willing to share the recipe? :)

I'm hoping nobody notices that I'm NOT baking cut-out cookies. They are awesome but take DAYS to bake and frost. I'm more into working-out than gaining weight from the process. My family will survive just fine without them.

I make Rice Krispy Treats every Christmas. From as early as I can remember I would make them with my Mom and we'd leave them out for Santa. I remember waking up Christmas morning to see the half eaten Rice Krispy Treat Santa had left to share with me. I am almost 28 and I still make them every year. My Mom passed away 2 and a half years ago and this is the first Christmas I am spending in Tennessee with her cousins-I am baking them and taking them with me to share with them a tradition my Mom and I had. I'm drizziling them with white chocolate and candy canes.

I make the same thing, only mine are cookie size. My neighbor called over Thanksgiving vacation to ask for the recipe. We give them out with our cookie plates.

I also make a Czechoslovakian Hoeska. It;s a Christmas bread, usually done in a wreath, I like mine in loaves, they aren't as dry. But it takes all day. And we make Kolaches, Czech/Polish jelly filled cookies.

I only make these things in December.
