christmas sweets & a snack for rudolph

December 17, 2014

Why is it, that when the snow starts falling and my hands start feeling perpetually cold, that I feel the absolute freedom to eat all things sweet and sugary and delicious?  Comfort food.  It can be a tender pot roast… or a plate of chocolate chip cookies….  We have compiled our favorite Christmas sweets in hopes to make them all (or one or two) this Christmas season.

kid made reindeer sticks PLUS 11 christmas sweets ideas!! - Wildflower Ramblings

I love anything sweet and anything salty.  So making reindeer sticks for the holidays was a perfect snack for my kids and I to make and enjoy together.

  • We started an assembly line, first crushing our candy canes in double bags.  John and May always love using our meat tenderizer — so they took their job very seriously.
  • John and May were involved in every step of the process of making our treats.  Next, we melted the chocolate — I had to explain how the milk will emusify into the fat of the chocolate and make it a thinner and smoother consistency.  The kids took turns very carefully stirring.
  • Then we got to dip our pretzels in the chocolate and crushed peppermint candy canes!(we chose the medium size, but large or tiny would work too).  Some of the chocolate ended up in the candy cane bowl, so we ended up having to do a second round of candy-cane-crushing, which was just fine with all of us :)

Now I want to share some of the other sweet Christmas treats I’ve been wanting to make this season!!  All of these recipes are amazing!!
