    @pancakerunner - recipe me please!

    https://www.tasteofhome.com/recipes/chocolate-butterscotch-haystacks/

    easy peasy!

    My Mom made these but added mini marshmallows...makes them even better.

    Here are some of the Haystacks I made.... What a mess to make, but so good! added mini marshmallows like my Mom used too. it came to 230 calories a piece for a pretty decent sized one. Freezing them is the best.

    Lebkuchen, German Christmas biscuits, soft gingerbread with apricot jam in the middle covered in chocolate or icing.

    They are my most favorite thing, start appearing in the shops here in the UK from November, and it is a constant effort of will to not just scoff packets of the stuff 😆

    YES! The spiciness and tang of the honey and lemon... love Lebkuchen! Also a big fan of pfeffernusse!

    I came here to post about Lebkuchen :)

    But as a second best, how about marzipan fruits?

    Yes! My favorite. Another fave I don't think has been posted... saltine toffee bark! I love making this with Ritz crackers in place of saltines.

    I think Facebook is reading my MFP forums. I literally got a Facebook video recommendation today with Ritz cracker toffee bark, which I had never heard of before.

    I've never actually made one myself, but the store bought kind is just fine for me. Just had a big slice for breakfast with my coffee. SO good.

    We have pannetone everywhere here in Italy. There are so many different kinds now. All different quality levels too. They are all on sale. People give them for gifts.

    we always called them "easy-do squares" growing up, because they're so easy to make. My mom makes them every year. These are essentially what they are: https://www.tasteofhome.com/recipes/chocolate-chip-cheese-bars/

    These are my favorite. I made a big batch of raspberry for my coworkers last week. We call them kolacky (pronounced ko-WATCH-key).

    Costco used to make shortbread cookies that were half dipped in chocolate. I used to refrigerate mine. They were dangerous. They stopped making them a few years ago.

    They don't have them anymore?! Loved those! A grocery store near me had them and they closed, it was probably my favorite grocery bakery cookie.
