What store-bought treats did you purchase or receive as a gift that you really enjoyed this Christmas and New Year? My two faves have been...

Snack Factory Pretzel Crisp with White Chocolate and Peppermint - YUM! A friend served them at her Christmas dinner spread. I liked them so much that my ds found them at Walmart and gave them to me as a gift.

These Dark Chocolate Almonds are yummy, too!

Love,

oh... Queen Anne Cordials Blueberries were really rather good.. a nice difference from the standard cherry cordial. We only got the one box right after Thanksgiving then no one in town had anymore. I don't know that I'd want a lot of them.. but one or two boxes (lots of people to share them here) is nice.

Peppermint Peeps are awfully good in hot cocoa.

YUM!

Trader Joe's Raisin Rosemary Crisps are CRAZY good...with dip, cheese, straight! Their Roasted Gorgonzola crackers are great, too.

Love,

Honey Maid gingerbread graham crackers are fun to eat and make easy little houses (we melt white chocolate chips for morter.)

Love,

My younger brother works at Trader Joe's and always gets me some favorite snacks for Christmas. This year he hit the jackpot:

Peppermint Pretzel Slims - sweet and salty...so good
Candy Cane Joe-Joe's - of course!
Buttery Almond Toffee - haven't opened it yet, but it looks dangerous!

Their Lemon Ginger sandwich cookies are another of my favorites from there.
