As Christmas rolls around, progressively more and more candies and desserts pop up in people’s homes and stores. Since there is such a variety of Christmas sweets, I have decided to rate the most popular of these desserts so that people don’t accidentally eat something nasty.
- Candy Canes: 8.56/10
Candy canes are the epitome of holidays; they are the first sweet I think of when I think of Christmas. Their minty and sweet flavor, as well as their satisfying design cause them to be, in my opinion, one of the best holiday desserts.
- Gingerbread cookies: 6/10
While an iconic Christmas dessert, I find gingerbread’s flavor a bit strange. It is almost spicy, and extremely overpowering, to the point that after one cookie I am sick and tired of eating them. So although the flavor itself is not horrible, because it is so overpowering I would not suggest eating them on a daily basis.
- Chocolate Fudge: 9/10
Creamy, chocolatey, and sweet; fudge is one of my all-time favorite Christmas desserts. Its chocolate flavor is concentrated, yet not overpowering, and it has the perfect amount of sweetness. When choosing what dessert to eat, fudge will always be one of my top choices!
- Magic Cookie Bars: 8/10
A combination of coconut, chocolate, and graham crackers, magic cookie bars are a delicious holiday treat. It is sweet, yet the individual flavors of every ingredient shine through. If you love coconut, this dessert is the one for you!
- Snickerdoodle Cookies: 7.53/10
Chewy, with a sugar and cinnamon coating, snickerdoodle cookies are a tasty holiday treat! Although I love their chewiness and the idea behind them, I feel like when actually executed they tend to be too sweet, even for me, a person who loves sweet things. Despite their overpowering sweetness, they are still an iconic Christmas dessert (and much better than gingerbread cookies). If you love sweet desserts, give this one a try!
