The Home Cook: 2007 Christmas Baking

Tim has to work on Saturday. This is a good thing for a number of reasons...I can wrap gifts, do some Christmas related errands and bake some holiday cheer. Lilly and I plan on enjoying that last item immensely. Tim has requested some ice-box cookies and a batch of oyster cracker snacks, while I necessitate Caramel Corn...as to the rest I'm still a bit on the fence. Things I am considering:

* Chocolate Pecan Toffee
* Rugelach
* Chocolate Pepper/Mint Cookies
* Lemon Pound Cake Loaves
* Peanut Butter Sweeties

I'm still looking for one more non nut / chocolate confection, because honestly...there are people out there who are allergic to those items. I feel those people's pain and suffering, and really they MUST be suffering because life without chocolate and nuts? It is a hollow shell of a life. Anyway my bleeding heart tells me to care for the snacking proclivities of all God's creatures therefore I must seek out goodies that will appeal to anyone of any ilk.
