Am getting ready to start my Christmas baking and a staple at our house is Chocolate Covered Cherries (Aka Drunk Cherries!)- need to get a start on these as the longer they soak the better! Chocolate Covered Cherries Soak the cherries (a jar or two of stemmed maraschino cherries, drained (pour the maraschino cherry juice in a container and save for mixed drinks, make into ice cubes, etc.)) in Southern Comfort (enough to ensure the cherries are covered) for as long as possible. Soak for at least a week, the longer the better. I put mine in the small Pyrex dish, cover with saran and p

The above suggestions are all excellent. What it boils down-to in the end is teaching her to sit on command and "watch me".

Oh, oh, oh. My levels are going up just thinking about these. I LOVE Chocolate, and the cherries are nice too! What time will they be ready? Vicki

It's called leash reactivity. Here's an article from the ASPCA that explains the behavior and gives some tips to deal with it. You can Google the term "leash reactivity" or "leash reactive dog" and get tons of info. And here's a book by Patricia McConnell that might help. I haven't actually read it, but . . . it's Patricia McConnell, who is IMO beyond wonderful. It's bound to be helpful.

OooO: sounds lovely... I need to eat out out my freezer first to make room! Thanks for sharing babybluegirl 9:46am

Well I need to come to your house for the holidays...lol!

Those boxes of chocolate covered cherries, i think i could eat a whole box.lol sheila-shih tzu dreamer

Oh MY!! Thanks for the directions............I am not a Southern Comfort girl but gin or Absolute will be my beverage of choice.

What Pam said. You definately have to show her that you are in charge. The two commands given you are the best at doing that. You can also say ah-ah in a stern voice and come between your pup and the other dog.

Mmmmmm these sound delicious

Oh you guys are making me CRAZY! But, I'm being (pretty good) and watching my Sugar Levels! (but I can dream!) Vicki

That sounds soooooo yummy!

Sadly no I don't have the recipe, I didn't bring any of my recipe books over with me.....but I like yourself have been Googling Kinda like this one...sounds easy enough http://southernfood.about.com/od/candyrecipes/r/bln231.htm

Funny you guys mention chocolate covered cherries, my husband loves those so a few years back I started making them- that's actually one of my Christmas receipes I was going to post once I started my Christmas baking! I'll go ahead and post it now under it's own title in case you guys want to try the ones I make! Oh and Crystal chocolate Carmel turtles are the best!! I was actually googling receipes for those yesterday - do you have one? I'd Love to make some of those!! Yum, come on holidays!!

Oh how could I forget chocolate covered Cherrys......The ones with the liquid not the creme ....ohhh good memries.

Thanks Crystle........I forgot all about Pumpkin Roll.....I love the combination of the cream cheese and the pumpkin........think I will have to throw one together. Yummy.......Plus it freezes well.........can have some for Christmas too!!! My favorite thing at Christmas when I lived in Michigan was Brach's Chocolate Covered Cherries.......they do not carry them in the area I live now. I think I am just going to savor the memories as over the years I am sure the size of them has changed plus the flavor. They sure were good...........

Reminsin about holidays long ago......mmmmmm ......my butt grows wider just thinking about Chocolate Caramel Turtles Candy and millionaire candy.....

Mmmmm sounds great and thanks for the reminder Crystal, I was gonna try making a pumpkin roll for this Thanksgiving and now I don't need to look up how!!

I'm with JoAnne, I'm going to make this. Will have to mix my own spices but hey hoe.....off to the oven I'll go! I remember a lady back home...good gracious that lady could cook...anyways She made the batter as above...but made it in a cookie sheet... Then she mixed cream cheese and toasted chipped up pecans Rolled it up like a jelly roll....smear of the cream cheese icing and sprinkled with nuts. She made heaps out of the batter then wrapped them for gifts.... It was so good it lasted not one day....then all gone. Happy memories!

I`ll be happy to send you a slice but are you sure? I have never tried making pumpkin bread before? but I am going to try tomorrow.

I may try them tonight as I have a few ripe bananas I can use (I was going to make banana bread for the fam, but there may be enough to do both).
