Well, I have so many. But, I'll name only one.

Mine is those Roche chocolate things with hazelnuts in em. They're expensive and fattening. So, I usually only have 2.

Any kind of Cheesecake is my favorite, but I'm going to get through all these holidays without having a single piece. If I do, I'm afraid I will be off this diet forever. I'm not willing to risk it yet. I love cheesecake more than any other food item, well besides a big ole thick lasagna, or Sesame Chicken from Chinese. Alright, I'm drifting. I'm pushing send and not looking back. lol.
Have a great day!

Oh I love peanut butter balls. Covered with chocolate, caramel, powdered sugar, cinnamon, or not covered at all. They are the best. Pile some of them up on top of a cheesecake and I would be in heaven. Gosh. I'm going to have to log off I think. C'mon Phen, clear these thoughts from my mind. Poof!
Have a great day!

I know what you mean Ebony! And there was a good times marathon on TVland this weekend.

My grandmother used to make all the goodies I listed above before she passed. She only made them from Thanksgiving to Christmas. Now, I have to make them for myself. The first holiday season after she passed, I was making the Peanut Butter Balls my husband came in and found me with my hand in the bowl squishing the stuff together with tears running down my face. I just looked up at him and through my sobs said "I'll have to do this from now on because she cant" (she being my grandmother.

It's not suprising we connect foods with love since it is the primary physical nourishment we receive from birth from our parents /grandparents /caretakers. Is it any wonder so many of us seek solace in the fridge????
