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!

I'm not much of a candy eater, but I do like the sounds of those! Where does she buy them? Is there a specific brand? I love cinnamon and wintergreen..

Quality Street - yummy!

Usually just the Andes mints, but now that everyone is talking about ribbon candy, I may have to buy some of that. I used to love that as a kid. It was always at my grandma's house.

 

[DizneyGurly]

What kind of candy do you buy "only" for the Christmas season?

I used to buy my late DH ribbon candy every year.. Now we buy:

Raspberry filled hard candies
Large box of assorted chocolates
Chocolate covered marshmallow Santa's or Snowmen
Chocolate covered cherries

How about you?

Where did you find the raspberry filled hard candies? I haven't seen these in ages. I would love to find some for our holiday candy dish.

 

[wdwfan16]

Reese's peanut butter trees

 

[Plannin'Shannon]

Baileys filled chocolates
Kahlua filled chocolates
Chocolate oranges
York patties (not really a Christmas candy, I don't think, but we only ever buy them around Christmas time)

Completely forgot about chocolate oranges. I love those! Whacking them open is the best part!

 

[tennvalgirl]

Chocolate covered cherries with the DARK chocolate...good lord

 

[McKelly]

Angel Food (sponge) candy
Lindt Truffles
Guylian chocolate hazelnut sea shells, when I can find them!

We haven't gotten them this year yet, but it was either Walmart, Aldi's, or CVS.. Rather than running around looking for them, you could call? DD's MIL does that all the time so she's not spending an entire day looking for "one" specific thing..

We buy Jolly Rancher candy canes and then those Hershey Kisses wrapped in the red, silver, and green foil. I know they're just regular Kisses, but it doesn't feel like Christmas until I've had some!

 

[KarenB]

I make a huge batch of Peppermint Hot Chocolate. I also am hooked on the Hershey's kisses with the bits of candy canes mixed in them.

 

[ginna74]

[Ppufi]

Lindt, Lindor, and Ferrero chocolates. MMMM.
