The actual Christmas baking list for 2016


Last year's list
Every year I post a tentative baking list of cookies, candy, snacks, etc. that I plan to give as kitchen gifts.  And it seems as if every year, that list gets tweaked in a major way.  You can find my tentative 2016 list in an October post.  Meanwhile, here's what actually got baked or otherwise prepared in my Christmas kitchen this season!  I've included links just in case anyone is still interested in baking.

 Then there was candy, as well:

Marbled Peanut Butter Fudge (an experiment that didn't really succeed.  I'll blog about it eventually)
Chocolate Dipped Orange Slices
Heavenly Delight
Coffee Shop Fudge

And several more kitchen gifts:

And that was it for this year's baking output!

    Wowzer...you did a lot of baking and making. I am tossing out the Christmas cookies to the birds. I ran out of room in the freezer so I am pretty sure the birds will be happy for some tidbits.

    Those will be some well-fed birds, Vee! What a treat for them!

    Some of my varieties are nearly gone -- just a few eggnog logs left, for example (those are a huge favorite). Some of our cookies are stored in the freezer and others on the cold front porch. I gave a lot away and served them at two different meals. For as long as they last, I'll take cookie trays to the Sunday potlucks at church. And I may take a tray to the nurses' station at the nursing home tomorrow ...The cookies will get eaten, one way or another!
