      We are also making Christmas brownie cake pops. They are supposed to freeze well so I can pull a couple at a time

      Very cute video! We usually make haystacks (caramel covered pretzel sticks), Oreo and peanut butter balls, puppy chow (funny name I know 😂) and sugar cookies. We love our holiday baking traditions too.

      I just made chocolate peanut butter cookies (recipe is on the back of the bags of Reece’s peanut butter chips) so good! They were my grandmom’s favorite and I haven’t had them in at least 10 years. So good. My favorite are pecan sandies. I think there are a bunch of names for them, but that’s what we called them ever since I was little. : cream 1cup butter and 1/4 cup confectioners sugar. Add 2 tsp vanilla extract and 1 tbsp water. Add 2 cups flour and mix well. Add 1 cup chopped pecans. (I chop super fine in the food processor) form the dough into small balls and bake on an ungreased cookie sheet 300 degrees for 20 min. While still hot roll in confectioners sugar. My all time favorite since I was old enough to eat cookies. 🥰😋 the trick is to finely chop the pecans.

    My fav moment is when Andrew unwrapped the chocolate kiss and almost put it in his mouth but changed his mind, he’s so cute!

    • @CrystalTara
      @CrystalTara  Před 3 lety

      Yes!!! I loved that - I didn’t see that when I was baking. So funny!!

  • @nancyzahradnik6021
    @nancyzahradnik6021 Před 3 lety

    Hi Crystal. The cookies look delicious. Andrew saying the best day ever is very heartwarming. I see the twins lost interest after awhile. I had to chuckle seeing Ethan on the floor with his apron still on. You are a very patient mom that doesn’t get upset when the kids tear your living room apart, you straighten up, and then toys are out again. This time of year is fun to drive around and look at Christmas lights. Enjoy your children while young. They grow up so fast.

  • @cathyhalstensgaard3441

    This made me remember my baking days with my kids - thank you. The boys are so adorable

  • @cactusbound
    @cactusbound Před 3 lety

    What a cute video today Crystal. All that baking is a lot of work. It takes a lot of different things that I don’t have room for to make cookies. The kids look so cute in their cooking aprons. Thank you so much for taking us along to look at Christmas lights. There were some beautifully decorated homes on your trip. We haven’t done that yet this year and I hope to. We didn’t get to do it last year ☺️🎄👍🏻

    Dear Crystal,
    I am not compelled to write comments very often, but I haven’t even made it past the opening and you have already turned my frown upside down! Today was not the greatest day, and the bananas as minions, the elf with the sharpie, and more importantly the joy on the twins’ faces made my day! Thank you for bringing me joy today!

    Your little twins are so sweet Crystal, I can hardly stand it. Ethan was so cute when he was patting on you while you put on his apron. Then Andrew when he unwraps that’s first kiss. His wheels were turning. I think he almost put it in his mouth , but he caught himself. ❤️❤️
