Holiday Desserts

You can't spell Holiday dinners without the sweet thing at the end. So what is your favorite?

I'll try to list things in categories so it doesn't get too specific. Otherwise I'd have to list 6 dozen desserts and I don't feel like doing it.

For the sake of sanity, yes, you may combine choices (i.e., for example if you must have vanilla ice cream with your cheesecake covered in chocolate fudge drippings, you would choose 3 boxes).

Jam it back in, in the dark.

I suppose so. It's just a matter of perspective. My mom only made creme puffs during Christmas, I've only eaten pumpkin pie at Thanksgiving events, and I generally tend to stay away from chocolate cakes (the really rich, gooey kind) unless it's a special occasion.

I myself personally just don't eat desserts that often (especially on a college budget!), so visiting family and friends is just one of those opportunities, which generally tend to be around the holidays.

I apologize for the biased opening, but I thought "describe your favorite desserts" had already been done.

There's nowhere I can't reach.

To be fair Crash, this thread's been on the top page for a YEAR. Considering GFF doesn't have much to talk about food apparently, I think it's only a minor offense, no?

That peanut butter sounds outrageous by the way.

This thing is sticky, and I don't like it. I don't appreciate it.

Right.

So, about that brittle Crash--can you use Torini syrup as a flavoring agent? I am intrigued and thinking I might make my own as holiday gifts this year. Does it do well with chocolate?

Most amazing jew boots

Just as a curiosity--how would it taste if you prepared the peanut brittle with just whatever syrup or sweetener you had, and just dip it in chocolate when the brittle's done?

I was speaking idiomatically.

Cool, thanks Crash! Been looking for some good holiday gift ideas. It'll be perfect for my boyfriend's grandfather since he loves peanut brittle and is a total sucker for chocolate.

What kind of toxic man-thing is happening now?
