Christmas was always a big thing in our household and my mom always went out of her way to make it special for everyone. She would make lots of goodies, with emphasis on certain favorites. There was one particular mint bar she made EVERY YEAR. She would try to get me to eat them (and take them home) and I would always tell her I didn't like them. She would insist that I did because it was written in her book. I found the recipe in one of her cookbooks and sure enough, it is written [in her book] that I liked them. For the record, I don't like them.
