Xmas goodies.....nom nom nom......

Just taken delivery of a large order from The Stateside Candy Co (http://www.americansweets.co.uk/). A couple times a year, a bunch of us here in the office in Glasgow pool our resources and get a big box of goodies.

My portion of today's haul - for use over the Xmas season - included a 12 pack of A&W root beer, a 12 pack of Welchs Grape soda, a large bag of buffalo wing sunflower seeds, 2 jars of bread & butter pickles, 2 large bag of tootsie roll midgees, 2 boxes of candy canes (blueberry & watermelon flavor), 3 pans of Jiffy Pop, a jar of Hooters 3 Mile Island extra hot wing sauce, a jar of Pain Is Good Hott Nutts, and 2 large bags of Blair's Death Rain Habanero Potato Chips (the hottest chips I've ever had).

Which particular American products do you plan to have on hand over the festive season?

I know this is a weird one, but my family has ALWAYS (I'm talking from before I was born) ALWAYS had clam dip out for munching on for Thanksgiving and Christmas. I couldn't find minced clams anywhere...so my mum shipped me over 4 cans of Snows minced clams...and about 12 packets of Good Seasons Dressing mix which we also use as a dip.  Everything else we typically have, I have found here...or if I can't find, can make myself

WOW.. Just imagining the cost!!!

None, apart from  Hidden Valley Ranch.  One of my work colleagues is in New Jersey at the moment, and she is bringing me back some packets.

Tracey,

And not a single beer in sight apart from the "root" variety. 

About £70 delivered.  Got to treat myself once in a while!

Not as dear as I'd imagined... nice one! 

We'll be taking delivery of our 2 crates of German Christmas beers and a wee sneaky special delivery of Harvey's Christmas Ale (7.5%, i think) that HB doesn't know about yet...

Need to meet up with you in the Pot Still or someplace; sometime before the 'amateurus drinkerus' season starts! 

Have the candy canes already and will soon be making pumpkin bread and my mom's coffee cake and some peppermint bark.  Heard a Tesco's nearby has Hershey Kisses so might make a kisses Christmas Tree with my kids.

I've brought myself a box of Little Debbie Christmas Tree Cakes back to Scotland with me!  Mmmm, guilty pleasure!

Thinking of buying a tub of Marshmallow Fluff and making the 'Never Fail Fudge' recipe on the label.  I will probably talk myself out of it, though.

I always fail to make that cause I eat the fluff LOL and now I have to fight my 4 year old daughter for it!

Try mixing the Fluff with philadelphia cream cheese, then use it as a dip for fresh fruit. Amazing.

Made the Never Fail chocolate fudge this morning, for my man to take to his office in the morning. Scraping the bowl clean was delicious!

Mmmmmmm!  It really is never fail fudge!,

I didn't necessarily have American treats to have at Christmas, although there were things I'd miss each year. Now that we are back in the States, however, I make sure to bring some McVittie's Ginger Nuts and some mince pies back with me when we visit in the late autumn, or the first half of December, as it was this year. I could make mince pies, or buy them from a bakery here, but there is something about bringing them back that makes me happier.

I just paid a small fortune for a box of Triscuits... gave one to my OH, and he now agrees they are the best cracker in the world, ever.  We're currently thinking of lovely things to adorn them with!
