Candy canes

Candy canes are probably the most beloved candy of Christmas. You can do anything with them! Pass them around to co-workers or friends and family, or even hang them on the tree and pick them off one by one during the Holiday’s.

Have you ever noticed that candy canes come in different colors? It’s not coloring just for the eyes but for flavor too, lets go through some of the candy cane flavors you might find in stores during the holiday’s… Christmas!

Chocolate

Buy some American handmade Candy Canes for the holiday’s at Hammond’s.

I have seen a candy cane without stripes… it kinda freaks me out…

eggnog

What is eggnog? Eggnog is a traditional Christmas holiday drink made from mostly cream and eggs sprinkled on top with some nutmeg.

Traditionally spiked with Whiskey, Bourbon, or rum, but you can choose any spike you like!

Eggnog comes mostly in the one flavor, and that is a creamy, vanilla type of flavor that is very rich! There is also a hint of spice once you add the nutmeg.

Chocolate eggnog? Never seen it or heard of it but there must be a reason why they don’t make it. If you are looking for an eggnog recipe your best bet if to search the FoodNetwork website.

If you want to skip the hassle of making your own the Borden brand of eggnog is very rich and tasty. Most grocery store chains also sell their own version which many times are just as close to the quality of Borden’s.

Merry Christmas!

Thanksgiving Stuffing

Thanksgiving stuffing can come in a variety of flavors.   You do not need to stick with the traditional stuffing you’ve always had that your family only half-likes.  It is such a flexible food item that a good stuffing recipe can be modified to accomodate anyone’s tastes.  So this thanksgiving, let’s take a look at what options and flavors are available for your stuffing:

  • Sausage stuffing  – A traditional stuffing is typically made out of sausage which tends to leave the stuffing moist and flavorful.  It’s also very easy to make.
  • Cornbread stuffing- one of the more traditional thanksgiving stuffings, this one is made from – you guessed it -cornbread!  It’s best made with cornbread that is a day old, and is very appealing to those who like breads.
  • Panettone stuffing – a twist on traditional bread stuffing, this one is made out of a citrus-flavored Italian bread.
  • Oyster stuffing – Try something a little bit different with this rich, tasty, stuffing with oysters as the main ingredient.  Nicely compliments the turkey and will feel like you’re eating food from a 5-star restaurant.
  • Sweet Potato stuffing – if you have extra sweet potatoes, this is a good option to try.  Pecans, breadcrumbs, and sweet potatoes are the main ingredients.
  • Apple stuffing – used at both thanksgiving and christmas, this stuffing is a great choice for vegeterians.
  • Mushroom-Pecan stuffing – this flavorful stuffing is made with leeks, mushrooms, and currants, and tastes delicious with gravy.

All these thanksgiving stuffing flavors and they’re associated recipes are easy to find by doing a quick search on the net for “thanksgiving stuffing recipes”.

Twizzlers Candy Flavor

Halloween is coming up, so let’s talk about the flavors available to you in Twizzlers candy.  Twizzlers are a licorice candy made by Hershey’s.  They were originally made by a licorice company named National Licorice Company – created in 1902.  This company eventually merged with Hershey’s, putting Twizzlers out under their name.

Licorice is not everyone’s favorite candy.  It has a very distinctive flavor that only appeals to some people.  It is very chewy.  The black colored Twizzler is the only true licorice flavor, and many would describe it as very bitter tasting, as licorice is an anise-flavored candy.

With all that said, twizzlers flavors include 1.) strawberry 2.) cherry 3.) true black licorice, and 4.)chocolate flavor.
