    Holiday baking with your children is a magical time for making lifelong memories. Who can’t recall time spent with your Mom or Grandma baking cookies and treats, licking spoons, our clothes all covered in flour. While my son was growing up I loved having his friends come over to make gingerbread houses or decorate sugar cookies. We would all wear Santa hats, play Holiday music and make a complete mess of the kitchen.

    This year my son was away at University and not able to be at home to help with with some Christmas baking, so his very special friends Jenn and Scott came over to decorate cookies with me. We wore our Santa hats, and now all grown up, we enjoyed some cranberry cosmopolitans as we decorated cookies. Getting the kids involved Holiday baking is so much fun and leaves a lifetime of memories.

    One Holiday treat my family always enjoys is chocolate coated popcorn flavoured with candy cane pieces. Smashing the candy canes into little bits seems to be the job kids love best. With my little helpers I made candy cane coated popcorn into tasty Candy Cane Popcorn Balls.  The candy canes worked great as a decorative edible stick.
