Scrabble

Making 'Scrabble' is a holiday tradition that my family has been doing, this time of year, for over 40 years. 


(going into the oven)

It's an all-day affair and one that creates an aroma in the house that announces, without saying a word, that the holidays have arrived. 

All the normal hustle and bustle that comes with this time of year kicks off the holidays, but for us, making Scrabble makes it official! 


(cooling on a towel)

Welcome Christmas, we've been waiting for you!

  1. I have never tried this but think I will. The adult sons would love this treat.

  2. Sounds delicious! My Mom always made Chex mix when I was a kid and I remember that toasty smell wafting from thee oven. Of course we always burned our tongues on the first taste even though she warned us. Merry Christmas!

    1. Lana, there's nothing like that smell as it toasts, is it! We've been known to get a burned tongue or two from the first samplings as well ... after smelling the aromas for hours it's hard to resist just one taste fresh from the oven! Merry Christmas to you as well!

    1. Practical Parsimony, it does make a lot, but then it's a popular gift for our friends and family!
