Christmas Inspiration

This recipe sounds awesome, I would love to add it to our holiday cookie line up. Anyone else have seasonal favorites that we could possibly add?
White Chocolate Peppermint Fudge
original recipe from Taste of Home
Ingredients:
1/4 cup Butter, softened
2 cups Sugar
1/2 cup Sour Cream
12oz White Baking Chocolate, chopped
1 jar (7oz) Marshmallow Creme
1/2 cup Ground Candy Canes (I use a magic bullet)
1/2 tsp Peppermint Extract

1. Line a 9 inch square pan with foil. Coat foil with thin layer of cooking spray or butter; set aside.
2. In a large heavy saucepan, combine the sugar, sour cream and remaining butter. Cook and stir over medium heat until sugar is dissolved. Bring to a rapid boil; cook and stir until a candy thermometer reads 234F (soft-ball stage), about 5 minutes.
3. Remove from the heat; stir in white chocolate and marshmallow creme until melted. Fold in ground candy canes and extract. Pour into prepared pan. Chill until firm.
4. Using foil, lift fudge out of pan. Gently peel off foil; cut fudge into 1-inch squares. Store in the refrigerator.
Makes 2 Pounds (81 pieces)

Also up on the Christmas Craft wishlist is this Glittery Banner spelling out Merry Christmas, and more to come.
