Update on Christmas goody list

I had some successes and some failures with my goodies. Here's a rundown:
Cream puffs- The cream puffs were a flop. I was so sad. They stuck to the bottom of the pan so when I scraped them off the bottoms got left behind. And I didn't really like the chocolate filling that went with the recipe. Kind of a let down after all the work.
Strawberry Cheesecake Squares-I still haven't gotten to these but I still want to.
Gooey Cookie Pie Bites-My how I was looking forward to these. They were...not gooey and not that tastey. I might have cooked them too long or not long enough. The time fluffed up like the blog said but they were kinda...crunchy. Again, I was sad it didn't work out.
Almond Toffee Tart-I haven't tried this either but I used the cream I bought for it and make ice cream, my true dessert love. I made Almond Delight from Ben and Jerry's ice cream and dessert book.
Chex gooey mix-I made these for a family get together. I really loved the almond extract in it. We cooked the syrup too long though because they sticky coating wasn't sticky for long. I'll try again sometime and add chocolate candies or something exciting.

Yesterday I made my favorite snicker doodles, that ice cream I mentioned and indoor s'mores. I love dessert.

I wish I was a better baker myself. It's just that one little thing can ruin it all! Also, I never know what it's supposed to look like when I pull it out of the oven so my stuff is either not fully done or overdone. Ah well, I'm hoping if I let everyone know how terrible I am, then I will be the on the "who should we take these extra treats to?" list. ;) Good luck with your future recipes!
