Oh Kat what a lovely and fun story about your bon bon tradition at the holidays. You did a fantastic job of some how managing teenage boys to want to come to your house to make bon bon's!!  Would love to see a picture of them!  They sound really yummy!

Hello Kat - both the video of leaving your cookie surprise to those not at home and your wearing of the Kat Hat make this seasonal treat delivery even more special.

I'll have to find one of the teenagers all tied up in string one summer. They were bored so I gave them a fun activity! Too fun!

My mother-in-law used to share recipes with us and they never really tasted like the ones she would make. One day while we were looking through one of her cookbooks; we found a recipe that been altered. Grandma's little secret ingredient. Hmmm

Happy Sunday evening Kat Palmiotti

I think that's exactly what will happen, Hannah Williams !

Paul S. Henderson, REALTOR®, CRS - Was the secret recipe alcohol related? I noticed a lot of my mom's recipes had bourbon, whiskey, rum, or something else!

Dec 06, 2020 05:52 PM
Paul S. Henderson, REALTOR®, CRS

No it was spice related mostly. She makes a fruit  cake that you better call UBER if you have a slice (its 50 proof at least 🎅)

Oh yum, Paul S. Henderson, REALTOR®, CRS !

Oh, those sound delightful, Kat but, as you mentioned, it's the tradition that really matters. My boys loved helping bake for the holidays...until they became teens! So, your boys having friends help sounds like this is one tradition they seriously took to heart. I love it!

And, I had to laugh at Paul S. Henderson, REALTOR®, CRS's fruitcake Uber story - my mawmaw's fruit cakes were the same! As a kid, I didn't like them because of just that - they were just too strong!

Hi Kat,
I loved your Bon Bon story. That's what memories are made of. Sending your sons cookies reminded me that one of my Grandmas used to send my brother and me a box of cookies each Christmas.  Did you send the recipe along with each batch?
