Growing up in the Gustafson household means LOTS of goodies around the holidays. My mom recently told me a story about how she would begin baking for Christmas at the beginning of December. While making the goodies, we would beg for samples and before Mom realized it, they were gone. So, she'd bake some more and we'd eat more. My mom said that she would basically bake for the entire month of December. Not much has changed over the years - we still raid the freezer whenever we come over!
Here's a list of my Top Ten Favorite Christmas Goodies:
10. Puppy Chow (rice chex cereal with chocolate, peanut butter, and powdered sugar)
9. Chex Mix
8. Pecan Tassies (sp?)
7. Caramel Brownies
6. Peanut Butter Balls
5. Spritz Cookies
4. Sugar Cookies
3. Raspberry Bars (these are a new favorite as of last year)
2. Peanut Butter Kiss Cookies
1. LEFSE!
