I Need Your Help!

I know I've posted about this before, but I really need some new recipes! With Christmas quickly approaching, I've decided I'm giving out boxes of sweets as presents, but I don't know exactly what to make! I want to know what your favorite Christmas treats are. Even if you don't have an actual recipe, give me an idea of what I should look for! Credit will be given for all recipes!

  1. A recipe from me...Tollhouse?

    My mom used to make date balls and something called Dr. Bird cake. Everyone loved it. I will see if I can find anything on them. She also used to make this chocolate cake with this caramel icing on it, that I loved.
