Christmas time means that its time to bake cookies, roast chestnuts, eat pumpkin pie, drink eggnog, and enjoy peppermint everything! At least here in America thats what we typically picture as Christmas food staples. We eat fudge, cheeseballs, peanut butter balls, chocolate and caramel coated everything. But, in other parts of the world Christmas treats are slightly different than what we enjoy here. Let's take a look at some famous treats from around the World shall we.

More specifically, it's Frisian Dutch. My great-grandparents immigrated from Friesland.
