Cookies aren’t the only things to come out of my mother’s magical kitchen at Christmas. Cakes, breads, puddings and a wide variety of savory dishes are beautifully produced. And, so is candy. This assortment of candies is always a welcome treat. Splendidly molded chocolates sprinkled on the reverse with nonpareils shimmer in the light. Some have been filled with nuts and dried fruit. Cool, crunchy peppermint bark of white and dark chocolate layers is always a favorite. And, of course, there’s always the luscious, creamy pralines—both traditional and chocolate. This is the time of year when we should celebrate, and, in doing so, let the calorie counting rest for a few days.
