Counting Holiday Calories in Popular Christmas Treats

Do You Know Your Holiday Sweets?

December 9, 2010

Break out the cookie cutters, the rolling pins, the fudge spatulas, and the bread pans . . . it's baking season! While I don't encourage diving into the holiday festivities mouth first, I do think we should all indulge ourselves just a bit and nibble off that tip of peppermint bark. But, before you go dipping into that bowl of eggnog or frosting up a batch of sugar cookies, you should take my quiz and see how much you know about these holiday treats.

My jaw hit the keyboard when I saw "...5 out of 5 right"! I thought I'd get 0 or maybe, if I was lucky, 2 right. I'll say it again: I seem to do better at these things when I guess the answers rather than believe I know. LOL - I try not to obsess about reading labels for calories or preservatives or I would NEVER eat or drink anything again. I know someone like that & for her to drink tap water (plastic bottles inc. water = landfills) she has to boil it, pour it (cooled) through 3 filter pitchers... - As for eating the head 1st off a gingerbread man - That's obvious (even WITHOUT the study)... who wants them screaming?! That's what I was told growing up: "bite off the head or it comes to life & screams for its friends to come & eat you while you're chomping on an arm or leg." - I ran away & hid in the closet! It took my mom AGES to calm me down & tell me never to believe EVERYTHING people say; it was a joke. Now I can laugh about it. Back then? Not a lot.
