I love peanut brittles. We usually buy them in Baguio when we have summer vacations there. I don't know how to make it though.
I made lengua de gato for the kids who visited us this Christmas. It literally means cat's tongue but these are just wafer-thin, crisp cookies ideal to eat with ice cream.

I think giving food during Christmas is not only thoughtful but also a practical way of gift-giving. Not only it is cheaper but it also allows the receiver to feel that you're giving him or her something very personal. Every Christmas, my mother buys dozens of rolled meat. What she does is marinate it and cook it as ham, make it presentable, put it in individual decorated baskets and give it as gifts to friends.
