    I love all the little treats that we make.. like cookies, peanut butter balls, oreo balls. I don't know if it's more because of all the time I got to spend with my sister and mom making them, or actually eating them. But they get me every dang time.

    That and mashed potatoes. I know most people don't consider mashed potatoes a treat but I usually only ever eat them on my birthday, or at Thanksgiving. Those are the two times each year I allow myself to have them lol.

    My mom makes this pie/cake called Chocolate Lush Cake (some people call it Better Than Sex cake.) It's like cream cheese and chocolate pudding on a graham cracker crust (sort of.) I could eat the whole pan if left to my own devices. So. GOOD.

    I also love the cranberry bliss bar from Starbucks. Glad they only serve it seasonally.

    So basically anything with cream cheese, then. Lol...

    every damn holiday and birthdays, weddings, baby showers, graduations, etc. it never ends w/ the booze and endless buffet style meals. every day it feels like theres a good reason to celebrate. how do people diet in our society?!

    ^

    Just say "no, thanks !" :laugh:

    The one holiday treat (although I do see them occasionally throughout the year at bakeries (but how often do I actually walk into a bakery? :laugh: ) are those Christmas cookies that are cutouts with the frosting and sprinkles. Know what I'm talking about? They're not sugar cookies exactly, and the frosting is kinda hard set and they are cut into cute shapes and decorated.

    My mom made them once for Christmas when I was 3 years old and firmly decided they were too much trouble and never made them again, leaving me to feel deprived the rest of my life. :happy:

    Peeps


    awwww ...... that's a running joke in our family ...... my daughter dislikes them ..... so of course, everyone sends them to her, in all different colors :laugh:

    My own "kryptonite" is probably lemon bars, or anything like SweetTarts ..... yummm ..... sugar ......

    Not a Halloween candy, but much easier to find during the Halloween season (which really is the most wonderful time of the year)... Take 5 bars. Chocolate, peanut butter, pretzel, peanut and caramel... it should be sold in the feminine hygiene aisle next to Midol. It's the most perfect candy bar ever.

    Wrong holiday, but Cadbury eggs! I only had one or two this whole Easter season though!

    Every other holiday treat pales, but Reese's are decent
    they have screambury eggs now! same thing just halloween themed..

    i love almost all the candy, but mostly it's the chocolate.
    Thanksgiving is my weakness though, all of it... i have some plans on making sure this year is a little healthier than the ones past though. =)

    for me, its thanksgiving. my sister is a great baker and she makes these tiny apple crisp pies in cupcake tins and it usually leads to me picking at the whole tray :C and my grandma has award winning blueberry pie and she makes her own crust for it using a cuban recipe. its glazed with her own special syrup that hardens and caramelizes on the dough

    UGH

    Depends on the holiday- anything sweet ............but since you asked..................

    Not the candy corn although I love it but the pumpkins that taste like candy corn; they are so cute.
    Then at Thanksgiving- nothing much just pie and all the goodies that start piling into the office
    and onto tables everywhere. I love sweets- cookies , candies, homemade everything.
    Then at Christmas, I love those nougat candies with christmas trees on them-they taste minty; fruit cake, mince meat pie

    Easter, malted milk balls/pastel colored. Birthday; chocolate / chocolate cake with icecrem.
    Other people 's birthdays and office celebrations cake cake cake

    The list is endless. I am a sweets junkie.

    It really isn't a holiday treat but I love, love, love, potato chips and dip. There is a store a few blocks from my house that sells the best chip dip (in my opinion), and I can't seem to get enough of them. So I just steer clear of them all together.
