Delicious Christmas Treat

Tonight we tried a Christmas treat that our family doesn't usually eat, although it's been associated with Christmas for years.

Gingerbread.

A friend of mine told me that Trader Joe's has a great gingerbread mix.  So, I went and got it. I whipped it up this evening and we loved it.  We had it warm with lemon curd and whipped cream.  Yummy!  Give it a try.  It's only $2.49 a box. It can be your new Christmas favorite, too.

Trader Joe's has a couple of other delightful Christmas treats, too.  

Peppermint Joe Joes.  These are so good!  They are like oreos with crushed peppermints inside.  We usually give a box of these to the girls' teachers each year. Only $2.99 each.

This year they added Dark Chocolate Covered Peppermint Joe Joes.  They cost a little more ($3.99) but the extra chocolate is worth it.  The teachers are getting an upgrade this year!

Snowflakes--yogurt covered pretzels.  These come in a really nice tin for $5.99 and they look like snowflakes!

I know I sound like an advertisement for Trader Joe's but I just wanted to share some goodies that I have found with you, my friends!  

Enjoy!

We made that gingerbread mix last week and it was delicious! I also got some of TJ's pumpkin butter and mixed it with softened cream cheese and spread it on top of the gingerbread - even better!!
We (mostly me) also love the peppermint Joe Joes. What did we ever do before TJ's came to town?

I'm curious about the gingerbread coffee.... Tried that one? Sounds interesting. I think I might have to try it. And maybe the gingerbread, too. I made their pumpkin bread mix, and it was delicious - esp for not being homemade!! And the pumpkin butter is very yummy, too. :) Hard to go wrong with TJ's.
