Do you have a snack drawer? You know the one where you keep all those left over Halloween candy, boxes of chocolates that someone brings over, candy that you get on sale, gum, mints, crackers. I have a big drawer like that, full of delicious and not so healthy snacks.

One of my favourite things about Holiday season is the Christmas stocking that I get from my parents-in-law. They fill it with all the crunchy, minty, sticky, sweet, and salty foods that we would not buy on our own.
