I've always loved ribbon candy but it doesn't seem to be available anymore. I haven't seen it in years.

We have a Christmas morning tradition that is delicious. It's called Tecumseh pie. It's a pie shell and the filling is eggs, sausage, cheese, and a bit of parsley.
It always gets our Christmases off to a good start!

It's tough to find, unless you know where to find a mom & pop candy store.
Oh I love that too!
I think my friend got some last year at the Quality Candy store....usually at malls??
Hey ladies - found this site that you order old-fashioned ribbon candy from!

Mum always puts out jubes, liqorice all-sorts, chocolate-covered almonds, dried fruit and nuts, and plums and apricots. So they're my favourite cos it's what I was raised on. (Except the liqorice...
)
I'm not sure if this qualifies as "Holiday" but my mom makes it every year, and its so much fun to make (and eat!
)
2- BAGS PLAIN WHITE POPCORN (OLD DUTCH)
1- 15 OZ BAG FRITOS CORN CHIPS
1- BOX CORN POP CEREAL
1- PACKGAE WHITE ALMOND BARK
We usually add 2 bags of regualr M&MS and a large jar of dry roasted peanuts...You can add whatever you like to it!
Its SO good.....

I always liked candy canes at Christmastime... The ones that hang on the tree.
my family always likes me to make toffee...this is a toffee like heath bars, but using pecans instead of almonds. it's easy to make & very good!

My great-grandmother was a wiz at making divinity. Every few years or so I get the bug to try my hand at it. Tomorrow is the big day!
Divinity is a white fudge-like candy made mainly of sugar, egg whites and white corn syrup. For some reason my batches almost never turn out. If you don't get the egg whites fluffed up enough the batch is runny. If there's too much humidity the batch is runny.
Wish me luck?

good luck - i know divinity can be a challenge!
I think I just found my new favorite...since I don't care much for "too sweet" stuff....Hershey's Dark Chocolate MINT miniature candy bars...MMMMMM
These are excellent!
I love them Turtles also....yummy!!
Well it isn't chocolate or sweet, but it is a favorite Christmas tradition of mine (and now dh's too). I make my grandmother's version of a Sfincione - a thick, square dough with seasoned bread crumbs, clumps of tomatoes atop bits of anchovies and a special cheese. Just wonderful, and better the next day when it's cold
this sounds good - sorta like pizza, but better?Originally Posted by Pat & Alix

I think it's better <G>. I never understood my gram calling it Christmas pizza until I did some research on common recipes for that part of Italy and up popped an artilce (with a photo) of this and the description was that the common man would make this only at Christmas time etc. and I found they never call it pizza - I think my Gram did because it was easier than explaining it and she didn't use the italian name for the dish.
I found several variations but my gram's was most common...it was my grandfather's favorite dish for this time of year.
So...lots of history and many good memories for me..it is a simple but delicious taste!
