(103,127 posts)with white powdered sugar on them. It's one of the worst things on the planet but during the holidays, when I see them free for the taking, I'm on it.
I also like another completely fattening treat...
Date candies. All ingredients are optional so you can pick the way you like them.
Majool dates, pitted, cream cheese, walnut halves, sugar (there's a theme here).
Slice one side of each date so that you can open it up and stuff cream cheese (about 1/4 - 1/2 tsp.) into the date, then stuff a walnut half into that. Close the date around the cream cheese leaving some exposed around the edges and roll in some kind of sugar. And there you have one of the richest, most addictive treats on the planet. And they are often the first things you run out of at a party.
