I'm always looking forward to the German goodies that show up at Trader Joe's this time of year that remind me of my childhood in Germany. The Stollen-that wonderful cake that is covered in powdered sugar, and is filled with dried fruit and almond paste, the Brandy Beans (Okay, I didn't have those as a kid, but I sure do enjoy them now)-those are delicious chocolates filled with brandy made in Germany. And those wonderful round cookies that I can't remember the name to that come 6 to 8 in a package. They are white on the bottom and are so delicious.
That's what I look forward to the most. We left Germany when I was 6 and every year my Oma would mail us a package at Christmas time filled with these goodies just so we could have a taste of Germany during the holidays. Now sadly she is long gone, but Trader Joe's has come to the rescue! If only they would import the amazing German Gummie Bears I would be filled with joy. The ones made here are nasty and don't taste at all like the ones made in Germany-plus they add food coloring which gives me migraines. In Germany you won't find food coloring in their gummi bears or food, or anywhere else in Europe for that matter.

Ghirardelli Peppermint Bark. Especially the dark chocolate kind. One little square with my glass of wine at night makes me a happy camper.

Debbie, My husband is an army brat and as a kid he spent many years in Germany. He loves all kinds of German Food. His mom and sister do too and they frequently order from this place and have it shipped over. I can't remember the name of it though. It is expensive though. I thought he was totally nuts he wanted this cake so bad he just had to order it. I cost about 80.00 for this small cake. He enjoyed every bit of it though. He would totally love to go to Germany just so he could eat the food ha ha. |

Peppermint Mocha coffee creamer in my grocery store. I love Pumpkin Spice and Gingerbread Latte, but the peppermint is even better than those two.  |

I make these chocolate mint cookies that call for the Hershey's mint/chocolate kisses. I swear, this year I'm going to stockpile the kisses. All the guys in my family hoovered them last year. I think I got one or two.

Aldii's gets in a lot of german food - lebkuchen, marzipan stollen, and other yummy treats.
I have done a lot of baking the past 4 days and am tired.
My favourite cookie is the cinnamon stars, made with ground hazelnuts and egg white topping.

It would have to be my MIL's stuffing recipe. I don't know why we only make it for Thanksgiving.

Mint M&Ms.
Of the stuff that we make, not buy, next week I will be making lefse. I had some this summer at a Norwegian themed restaurant (and I can buy it at the grocery store) but mine is so much better.
