I don't eat candy but the food that says Christmas to me is Peppermint coffee. The best is only available at Publix in FL so I can't get it anymore but I have some at home.

The cherry Andes and the toffee Andes -- I only seem to find them at Christmas.

Also, fresh nuts in a bowl with a nutcracker. Seeing that on our end table growing up meant (to quote a Little Golden Book) that Christmas was REALLY here.

And Trader Joe's Wintry Blend coffee. YUM!!

 

[englishteacha]

Truffles!

I usually buy After Eight dinner mints and a box of Perugina for my Christmas Eve party.

I'm debating on whether to do a stocking for my son this year. He is a teen now, so I'm not sure I will, but if I do, I'll get a Sweet Storybook from Lifesavers, and M&Ms and Reese's Peanut Butter Cup tubes.

I only buy ribbon candy. I don't eat much candy so that kind of makes it really special.

Aww...ribbon candy reminds me of my great-aunt. She always had it at her house when my brother and I visited when were little. That and the strawberry hard candies that were in the wrappers that looked like strawberries.

My mom always buys the red and green spice drops, the ones that taste like cinnamon and wintergreen, not the weird mutated fruity-flavored ones that are always such a nasty surprise when you bite into them!

 

[Stargazer]

Brach Peppermint Nougats ... which reminds me, I need to pick up a bag!
