   What is your favorite Christmas or Hanukah Candy?
   
   What seasonal, (or other), candy do you look forward to each Christmas or Hanukah Season?
   Mine happens to be a raspberry hard candy that is made by Brach candy company.  It may actually be called, 'Raspberry Stuffie'.  It has a hard outer shell and a soft, raspberry center.

   The chocolates in the box that everyone has eaten all of the good ones and left the others with one bite taken out of them.

      lol   that's funny, JT.  My mother used to dig her thumbnail into the bottom to check the contents and leave them there if she didn't want it.  They looked great until you picked one out and discovered the huge gouge!  Happy Holidays to you.

      Thank you!  I'm traveling north to Michigan to see family.    I'm very excited.  No matter what it turns out like it will still be good...

   I have a few. Hopefully the box JT is talking about is Sees and the chocolates are Scotchmallows, which have nothing to do with Xmas but it's a good excuse to eat them. A friend of mine makes an Italian treat called Strufoli at Xmas that is so delicious - like mini cracker balls covered in a sticky, chewy, sugary coating. Another friend makes a type of chocolate coated matzoh that's addictive for Hanukkah. Can you tell I like sweet treats?

   Chocolates by Harry and David, preferably truffles.  I can't think of anything else better than this.

   Well, this is an easy one for me. My Nanny would always get a box of See's Candies for Christmas and she would always remove the one's with the chocolate sprinkles on them and put them aside for me. No one else was allowed to touch them or they would have her wrath! lol So it would be those and..... Does anyone remember the Ribbon candy? I believe it's made like candy cane, however in different colors and flatter and they would roll it and push it together to make it look like ribbon! MMmMmMM! ♥

      That sounds yummy-I love See's chocolates.  Oh, heck...I love most any chocolate, lol     I do remember the ribbon candy.  I wrote a hub about Christmas candy recently and I think I mentioned that one.  If not...I'd better add it.

   I love the stuffie thing as well, I actually have a 1/2 pound this year and since I am on a diet I have worked very hard to only have one or maybe two pieces every few days...

   I would have to say those snickers soldiers. Sure you can buy snickers year round but the soldiers you see during Christmas time seem to taste different, better somehow. Anyways I love them & look forward to getting them in my stocking every year!
