UPDATE: This giveaway is now closed. The winner (selected by Random.org) of the Hershey's baking package is Christi D. who said: "I am making toffee bars…chocolatey goodness!" Congratulations, Christi! Please check your email for instructions on how to claim your prize. Thank you to all who entered. If you didn't win this time, come back next week for two more great giveaways!
Can you believe it is December already, and the weather outside is not at all frightful? Our fires have yet to be delightful. And, we all have places to go, yet there is no snow? Do we dare request, "let it snow, let it snow, let it snow?"
Actually, here in Mississippi, snow rarely happens anyway. But, I'm pretty shocked to see Facebook status updates of many of my friends and family in the north about their 60 degree weather in December! Good for you, my friends! Enjoy it while you can...
Since it seems no one has any real snow quite yet, how about we enjoy them in cookie form instead? These snowball cookies were inspired by a friend of my mother-in-law's, who served something very similar to us years ago. She wrote down the recipe for me back then, and I recently came across it deep down in my recipe files.
This turned out to be a great way for using the chocolate kisses Hershey's sent to me along with a few other baking goodies. And, guess what? They want to send the same treats to one of you, to help with your holiday baking adventures.
Here's what one winner will receive:
- Hershey’s®Cookie Headquarter Apron
- 1 pkg. Hershey’s® Baking Melts Chocolates
- 1 pkg. Hershey’s® Bits ‘o’ Brickle® Toffee Chips
- 1 pkg. Hershey’s® Semi-Sweet Chocolate Chips
- 1 pkg. Hershey’s® Kisses® Chocolates
- 1 canister Hershey’s® Cocoa
- 1 set of recipe cards featuring the core Hershey’s® holiday recipes
Okay, how about that to get you started baking? And, all you need to do to enter the giveaway is leave me a comment below (attached to this post) telling me one thing you plan to bake this year for the holidays. The winner will be chosen by a random number generator, but I still read every single one of your comments, so entertain me! 😉
Official Rules:

The Hidden Kiss recipe sounds great since we all love chocolate and Hershey's Kisses! We always make the Peanut Blossom Cookies with a twist because my daughter is allergic to nuts, so we use soy butter instead of peanut butter. And we have a new favorite as of last year (we love to try a new recipe every year!) Chocolate Gingerbread Boys and Girls-YUM! We make them using ALL of our cookie cutters.

carla-jo says
one thing I am definatly making is my peanut butter fudge. It's always requested by my friends! I love to give homemade treats for christmas!
VickiT says
I KNOW I will have to make my brownies which I exclusively ONLY use Hershey's cocoa for. I've gotten so many people addicted to those brownies that I should get a kickback from Hershey's. LOL During the holidays I make the brownie recipe pouring only half the batter into the pan and then put a layer of Andes Mints (the regular kind) OR sometimes the Mini York Peppermint patties and then pour the rest of the batter on top and bake as usual. They are SO good.
And I know this year I must make my sugar cutout cookies. I haven't made them in about three years and I miss those since they really are one of my favorite cookies.
And I need to make the pecan tassies since those are a favorite too. I could go on listing about 40 things but since you only asked for one, I'll stop and spare you. LOL
Thank you for the chance at an awesome prize package.

I will be baking a zillion cupcakes this year, per requests from friends and co-workers. I have started with some Chocolate/Peppermint cakes, but the requests rum the gambit this time. I have everything from plain Vanilla/Vanilla combo, to a hefty task of a Chocolate-Covered Cherry cupcake. I also have the "make-my-rumball-recipe-into-a-cupcake" request. 🙂 Some are daunting, some are regular easy-peasy. The one thing I never get tired of?? Making people happy through my food. Thank you!

Gluten free Christmas cookies is a definite! Found some Pinterest recipes I want to try including Snowmen Cupcakes, Peanut Butter Chocolate Bark, & Pecan Balls. I've had to be gluten free for over 2 years now, so if I want Christmas treats I pretty much have to make them myself. Luckily, I've recently found a very good gluten-free flour which allows me to take a normal recipe & easily make a gluten-free version!
Mindydana says
