Out west we have See's candy ... so yummy, especially their nuts and chews selection. Unless, you are lucky enough to get a big box of their Victorian Toffee. That is the best toffee I have ever had. But, I can get by on Almond Roca in a pinch. Maybe I am not too picky. I really like Tootsie Rolls - usually get some in my stocking, fingers crossed!

Luanne,
We tried the Blueberries too. Cherries are still are favorite!
My favorite indulgences:
~Chocolate Covered Cherries (growing up my Dad would always buy me a box for Christmas, after he passed my honey started buying me one every year )
~Spumoni Ice Cream (I'm with you Anna! This is my all time favorite ice cream flavor)
~Eggnog (not just any brand though, I really like Horizon brand it's alot tastier)

Oh yummy! They all sound good! I knew when I posted this that some would gag at my favorite but when you see big stacks of them at the stores I knew there had to be others like me who enjoy them! Strange thing for me is I don't even like Marachino cherries but I love these treats! Go figure! I'm not sure I've even had the clear liquid ones, I guess I'll need to go searching.

I love them too...but I only like the ones that have the clear liquid in them...My DH says that only Walgreens has them and he goes 12 miles out of his way to get them for me each year.

Mine would be those Ferrero Rocher balls with chocoloate and nuts. I have bought several for my daughters stocking (her fav also), but I keep eating them, (I guess I should not store them in my bedroom) I just went shopping this morning for more; a 12 pack, lets see, by Christmas I should have about 6 of them left for Cearas stocking! |

I've always loved the chocolate covered cherries too, and this year for the first time I found chocolate covered blueberries put out by the same company (Queen Anne). I got them in K-mart. They were good, but not as good as the cherries. Has anybody else seen them or tried them?
I also love the ribbon candy - it is a Christmas tradition in my family.
Hugs,

Every year the gentleman who worked with my hubby years ago in the quality assurance/new product development lab for nestle, sends us a box of hand made liqueor-filled chocolates. It's like having a shot and a decadent candy at once. My favorite is the white-chocolate/lime filling one. He is so talented and we are so lucky!

Homemade fudge or sea salt, milk chocolate covered caramels.
My mouth is watering just thinking about them.
