It probably would be easier to answer what ISNT a favorite Christmas treat... with peanut butter cookies, & fudge & buckeyes & brownies & cakes & pies & ... oh my... I could go on & on...
But I do have one favorite that I look forward to just at Christmas.
This is something my dad used to fix for me when I was growing up & I do it now myself.
.. & dont pass judgement until you try it! Seriously! Because you will read this & think, EWWW - but dont knock it until you try it!
You take these things... Old Fashioned Cream Drops
But you take one - get a big spoon - or a spatula - something that you can squash that baby with. It takes some strength to flatten it. See - you burn calories & build muscles while making this treat... BONUS!
You get it flatten out - & then.. this is the part you dont pass judgement on... you get a Saltine cracker & lay it on top of it. Yes - a Saltine cracker!!! Now, I hear you saying, "That's not a Christmas treat"... but wait...
Then you put it in the microwave for a few seconds - not too long... Just enough to soften the Cream Drop - but not enough to melt it to where its all liquid - which can happen... & all is not ruined if that does occur. You just take a spoon - or a tongue - & lick it off the plate!
But it really is the best treat. It makes the saltine cracker soft... & even if it doesnt soften the cracker, you have a good salty crunch with the sweet, soft, melted cream drop.
I'm serious... I look forward to it every year... I'm now craving this...
I've got to keep my eyes out for Cream Drops...
Anyone else ever try this? Is it just a Southern Thing? Or just a weird family tradition?

Sounds interesting. I love saltines and cream drops. Might just have to try it.
Love Christmas traditions. I can't wait to bake cookies with my big sis!
We used to always get 2 of those Old Fashioned Cream Drops in our bag of fruit and candy at church when I was little. I love them. It's been a long time since I've had one. Guess what I'll be looking for now. haha.
Oh I loved the cream drops. My Grandma used to make sure they were in our stocking. Yep one stocking divided for us kids. Funny huh? Anyway......... I have never heard of it with saltines. I may have to try it.
Love you girl,

I just don't know. You had me until the cracker part.
I have to say the judgment started with the cream drop....I don't like chocolates with cream filling. :{
I have never actually seen or tried a cream drop and I love saltines. Plus, they always say having that nice mix of salty with sweet is always a nice mix. I would try it so now I just need to look for those cream drops!
Thanks for joining!!
Whaaaa?! I've never heard of such an animal!!
I must try!
I've never even seen this candy before let alone heard of it til now. Sounds like a fun experiment to me.
I've never had cream drops, but I won't judge about the crackers. :) I have a fabulous cookie recipe that includes Ritz crackers.
I just saw the cream drops at Wal Mart last night :) 97 cents baby!
Thanks I so love my pink hat too..
I have never heard of it...but it actually does sound kind of yummy!
