I would add peanut brittle to that list mmmm.
For MG this year, I am going to make some of these...
Reindeer Cookies
1 packet Butternut Snap Cookies
1/3 cup pouring cream
200g (1 block) milk or dark cooking chocolate
65g butter
pretzels cut in half for antlers
jaffas for the nose and some frosting to attach them
White marshmallows cut in half for the snout
mini marshmellows for the eyes
Black icing for the eye centres
Pre heat oven to 180 C or 350 F. Place cookies on a shallow cup cake pan and heat for 3 minutes. Remove from oven and gently press down on the biscuits to form baskets. Repeat with remaining biscuits.
Melt butter, chocolate and cream on the stove over a low heat, stirring constantly until combined and completely melted ( about 7) minutes. Cool in the fridge for 20 minutes, but don't allow to set completely.
Spoon one heaped tspn of chocolate mixture into the biscuit cases. Refrigerate for a further 10-20 minutes so chocolate can firm up a little more.
Decorate with the faces, using a little icing to stick everything on, and serve! Note: Don't refridgerate with the jaffa noses on or they will go dull in the fridge.
Snowballs
250g butter, softened
2 teaspoons vanilla extract
2/3 cup (110g) pure icing sugar
11/2 cups (150g) walnuts, roasted,
chopped finely
21/3 cups (350g) plain flour
3/4 cup (120g) pure icing sugar, extra
1. Preheat oven to 180°C (160°C fan-forced). Line large oven trays with baking paper.
2. Beat butter, extract and sugar in a large bowl with an electric mixer until light and fluffy. Stir in the walnuts and flour.
3. Roll level tablespoons of dough into balls; place about 5cm apart on prepared trays. Bake for about 12 minutes or until biscuits are pale golden. Cool for 2 minutes.
4. Gently roll biscuits in sifted extra icing sugar. Place on wire racks to cool.
5. Dust again with sifted icing sugar just before packaging or serving.
Do not microwave or freeze.
So excited to make the reindeer biscuites, they're so cute! DD will adore them!
I may make some shortbread bikkies for my hubby's cousins and aunty + uncle :)

Oooh, those reindeer sound gorgeous!
We will likely rehash gingerbread this year, probably in the form of gingerbread christmas trees.
Subscribing for these delicious sounding recipes! Can't wait to get into cooking some yummy Christmas treats! :)

You can also do the reindeer cookies by dipping oreos in milk chocolate :D
I just made reindeer noses.
Small pretzels, filled with a 1/2 tsp melted chocolate and topped with a red or green m&m. They look sooooo cute!
Also made candy cane hearts for the teachers:
Get two candy canes and shape them together to look like a heart. Put a lollipop stick or a skewer in between the two candy canes (to create a pop) and fill the heart with melted chocolate. Top with broken candy cane and you have candy cane hearts on a stick. We are giving these to the teachers this year along with their thank you letter.
I also made some christmas bark with mashed white chocolate, broken pretzel sticks and smashed m&m's. Mix all together and poor onto a sheet with baking paper. Top with more broken m&m's and silver cachous. Wait till it's dried and break into pieces. It's sweet and salty all at the same time! YUMMO!
Those candy cane hearts sound great Rouge!! I will have to remember them for next year!
Here's a piccy of my reindeer bickies I made!
