Yes I am binge watching Vlogmas in September. Lol. As soon as school starts I start getting Christmas vibes. I live in Florida so it never feels like Christmas here. Sadly. I start my baking plan early and I bake for all my extended family and ship them to Ohio. My great aunt always did it and it was my favorite thing about the holidays. Now I carry on the tradition since she has passed.
I made 3 batches of peanut butter balls, and oreo truffles today. Every year it's our tradition, next time try using toothpicks when you dip, makes it alot easier, hope you have a Merry Christmas!!!
YYYAAASSS!! I may have been stalking your channel for this video! I have about the same commute time you do and I always listen to your videos to and from work 💚❤️
I laughed so much when Connor coughed right by the cookie dough while you were filming a professional video for us. So so funny! I’m still giggling about it and I’m so glad you didn’t edit it out. It’s definitely real life! 😂 Connor is just so cute and precious! The honeycomb candy is like peanut brittle minus the peanuts. I have a recipe to make it in the microwave. It is delicious too! I wish I had as much baking done as you. I live in Wyoming and have never heard of Casey’s so it must be more right in your area. 😁
You and your sister both have the most beautiful smiles. They are so contagious. I won’t get a chance to comment tomorrow as the 24th is the big celebration for us (part of my Ukrainian heritage that has been passed down for a few generations). I wish you and your family a very merry and happy Christmas filled with love, joy and relaxation. 💕💕💕
Ahhh! We have Casey's here in my tiny little town in Indiana! It was my grandma's Friday night tradition to get Casey's pizzas for dinner, thanks for the nostalgia 💕
How you do all you do and still work full-time is amazing to me! I'm retired now, so I very well remember the Christmas rush to get things done! Thanks for all the recipes, especially the Keto Cookies, since I'm starting the New Year on that diet. Merry Christmas to you & your family!!! TFS
Here in Delaware the best fried chicken is at the Royal Farms gas station. Better known as RoFo. Yes, running out of butter is my feet too. Usually start at Thanksgiving with 8 to 10 lb.
Your sponge candy is honeycomb here in Australia. We can buy chocolate bar ( candy bar) that is honeycomb covered in chocolate. They’re called a Crunchie or Violet Crumble. Delicious! You’re a baking machine Jen. It all looked amazing. Job well done.
We love Casey's pizza ,subs and donuts!! I feel like you could fit so easily into my family! LOL I made Christmas crack, sugar cookies, Chex mix and I'm making a red velvet cake with cooked frosting. We are having our actual Christmas this weekend - lots of good food, wine and fun! Hope you had a great day!
Merry Christmas to you and your family! Love to see all the things you make for Christmas. This year we made Italian Rainbow cookies, peanut butter cup cookies, chocolate chip m&m cookies and sugar cookies. I love giving cookie tins as gifts. Great job at vlogmas.
I love your treats! I’m going to make mini cookie trays and cheese balls and cracker plates next year. I like your idea of using decorative plates and ziplock bags for gifting. The cheesecake cookies and sponge candy are going to be a must try for next year!
Love Casey's pizza! I do a similar marathon day with my MIL and she makes them in to gorgeous trays. We do the peanut butter balls but her recipe has rice krispies in them for some texture. They are the best. We also put the almond bark in crock pots to keep them warm when we need them. I'm definitely going to add the cheesecake cookie to next year's lineup. Merry Christmas!
Little tip on frosting color...specifically red. Try using the tip of a toothpick dipped in black coloring then add the red. It’ll deepen the color from a pink to a red. LOVE your videos, Jen! Hugs from Hawaii!!!
Thanks Jen for all the recipe's u have some good ones for Cookie's . I make my icing for the sugar cookies a bit different , next time I'm trying URS with that powder great idea n to fluff it sounds like a better way n tastier too. N those cream cheese cookies look delicious never had those . Going to try n make ur easy Chex mix I forgot how to ty for the recipe too. N those buckeyes never made those gonna try those out too. Thanks again we appreciate all these good recipe's 😇👍
Jen, your sugar cookie recipe is almost identical to the one that my family has used for generations! The powdered sugar as an ingredient is what caught my eye as most call for granulated. And you are right.. the almond extract is what makes these so tasty! My kids (21 & 16) used to request these for every school party since everyone loved them so much. To this day I still see some of the kids and parents who remember me as the "sugar cookie lady"!! hahaha Merry Christmas and thank you for your entertaining videos!!
Just finished making the sponge candy OMG it is so cheap to make and simple most importantly DELICIOUS. It is so expensive in stores but something I will break down and buy once or twice a year. But no need to anymore. Thank you so much!
My family has a cereal mix that we make every year as well! We call it Nuts and Bolts for some reason. My grandma used to make it every year and now I’ve started making it for my family. We use garlic salt, onion salt, celery salt, paprika, Worcestershire, and butter to season ours. It’s a really nice salty/savoury snack to munch on throughout the day on Christmas! A baking day with your sister seems like so much fun! I may have to ask my sister if she wants to do this next year! Merry Christmas to you and your family! ❤️
Thanks for making my mouth water. Everything looks yummy. I hope you and your family have a wonderful Christmas I will be looking forward to your next video until then please take care and God bless!
What a great day of pure yumminess, Jen! So nice that your sister helped, and created a few more sibling memories. Everything looks great! Thank you for sharing. (Furry smooches to Murphy. What a sweetheart.) 🙂
Hi Jen. Yes here in Ohio they are Buckeyes. Love your necklace. So pretty. We don't have Casey's here. So happy that Murphy loves his hedgehog. He is so cute. Such a good boy. Everything looks delicious! Cold salty eggs. Now I have a new way of saying boiled egg. That is so cute. Merry Christmas Jen. Love and blessings....
Everything looks so good. Yes, Jen, the best pi,za is from Casey's. We live in Kearney Mo and our Casey's has the best pizza and donuts yeeee. I am going to make your cherry cheesecake cookies, I k ow my daughter will love them Blessings 🎄⛄
I went grocery shopping for Christmas yesterday and I went to 2 grocery stores looking for Rhodes rolls. Found them today at Walmart! I’m super excited to try them!!
What a lovely tradition to have with your sister. I wish I had my sister closer to do more with her. Conner is so funny! He reminds me of my son. I feel like I can relate to you because my kids are about the same age as yours. Soon to be 7yo boy and 9 1/2 yo girl. In my family, I’m the little sister born in 87 and my sister in 84. However I’m a stay at home mom who enjoys cooking from scratch and watching a lot of your content!!
Wow - lots of hard work! Merry Christmas to you and your family. New-ish subscriber - love your cooking vlogs. I have a AAS in Hospitality/Culinary Arts but haven't worked in the profession for over 20 years. I feel inspired to start cooking again! Also I am a Labrador retriever lover but don't have one at the moment so I'm happy to see the pup gets lots of love on the vlogs, too.
THANK YOU! What a treat to have everything so organized. Everything looks wonderful, can’t wait to try some of your recipes. Thank you again for sharing!
I have the same necklace! And I have been so sick I haven’t done any baking this year so I’m living vicariously through you! Everything looks delicious!
Oh wow we call that Christmas trash. We use pretzel sticks the brown bread pieces from that one brand of pretzel mix[ cant remember what its called] , 4 boxes of diffrent chex mix and peanuts. It's so good we love it.
We have Casey’s here in Wisconsin, but outside of Milwaukee County (where I live). I’ll have to keep the pizza in mind when we are coming home from a Packer game. Thanks for the tip! Packer fans love gas station food on the drive home. Lol.
Lost me on the heard boiled eggs, fail. But I too have a fear of running out of butter. Video idea, Murphy out takes/ bloopers. Love seeing him. Thank you for sharing.
Girl, you did yourself some baking! Thanks for sharing! Connor is so stinking cute he sounds just like you when he said, That's delicious. 😁 Cold salty egg. Lol My mom was famous for making lots of Chex Mix around Christmas. She spiced up the original recipe to be more savory and salty. She's gone now and it's one of the traditions I keep in her memory. Sending a merry and blessed Christmas to your family from East Tennessee.
Love Casey’s pizza..... would really love a taco pizza from Casey’s right now. Started watching while I lived in Germany, now binging old episodes.... always feels like I’m cooking with a friend from home. (I grew up about 30 miles north of Cedar Rapids.)
Last year I made the Oreo truffles with the red velvet Oreos for a little holiday color. We did some red sprinkles on top of the white chocolate. Big hit!!
Hey Jen🙂 everything looked yummy, I'm going to have to make the cheesecake cookies, Oreo Truffles & dipped pretzels for sure! I can't believe December vlogmas will be over soon!💔💔 I have enjoyed all of them so much! Merry Christmas to you, Adam, Kiera, Connor and Murphy 🎅🎅❤❤
Jen you made me laugh about the pizza and donuts from the gas station. Of course I would eat it too ! HA! Love everything ...cookies family and you. Cheers
My niece gifted us sugar cookies this year that are the BEST that I have ever had....especially at this stage during the holidays when we are sick to death of everyone's super rich desserts.....it is nice to have one that is not tooooo rich, but just right.
Is sponge candy the same as honeycomb? I live in another country and we make caramel, add bicarbonate so it froths up and then cover it in chocolate when it sets, it’s called honeycomb here. It dissolves on your tongue a bit when you eat it
Haven't even watched yet, but didn't want to forget to say that I did grocery pickup and got the zing zang you recommended. It made the only bloody Mary I have ever enjoyed so thank you for that. :) I ordered fresh cranberries go make your cranberry jalapeno dip, but they were all out and subbed canned cranberry, lol. Next year. :) the cherry cheesecake cookies sou d wonderful, well, it all sounds great, but especially those. :)
Oh my goodness. All these Christmas goodies look and sound delicious. I'm definitely going to make the peanut butter balls and Oreo truffles. We always made muddy buddy or puppy chow. Merry Christmas Jen, Adam, Kiera, Connor, and Murphy. Can't forget Murphy he's so cute. He reminds me of my dog. Have a great day.
Your baking was pretty similar to ours! We did chocolate covered pretzels, Oreo truffles, candied pecans, chocolate and peanut butter fudge, and peanut butter balls.
All your treats looked perfect 👌 😍 I need to try the sponge candy, Oreo balls and cheesecake cookies 😋😋 thanks for sharing! Have a wonderful Christmas!! 🎄🎅⛄❤️
500 mile radius from ankeny I believe. But yes Casey's has awesome pizza and donuts. The rest of the world is seriously missin out. Your Casey's is itty bitty, so cute!
We loved making "buckeyes" back home in Ohio. We only dipped the tops of the balls so they looked like buckeyes...lol They are delicious. Love cooking with my sister too!!❤
Great video, those cherry cheese cake cookies look so good! Just an fyi, when I make truffles or buckeyes (yes, I live in central Ohio, Go Buckeyes!) I like to put them in the mini cupcake papers. I think it makes the tray look a little more festive. Happy Holidays to you and yours!
I love how Connor wants to be in the kitchen with you. We have a Casey's in our small town. I don't care for their pizza but the donuts are another story. Oreo balls are on my list to make. Caramel corn is my specialty so will be making it too. Press n seal is so much easier to work with vs plastic wrap.
I have literally been waiting every day for your vlogmas vids...thanks for taking the time to share with us all. Hope yall have a happy holiday season! With love, from Atlanta!
I'm from here in Iowa and love Casey's pizza! We are actually having that for lunch today since I will be in the kitchen baking all day! Also my trick for almond bark is to use a little bit of shortening in it!
We have Quik Trip gas stations that has really good pizza. They also have yummy fresh baked soft pretzels. We use the QT gas card which gives us 5 cents off every time. I'll have to try making the cheesecake cookies some time. My husband would love those! Cold salty eggs? LOL That doesn't sound appetizing at all.
I'm behind still on your videos lol! slowly but surely I'm getting caught up. I made some keto raspberry cheesecake cookies for my 12 days of Christmas cookies. Your hubby might like those (if he likes raspberry lol) They were delicious! These cherry ones look really good. Everything looks yummy. great video!!!
The sugar cookie recipe is an old one in the Betty Crocker cookbook-called Mary’s sugar cookies. Been making them for 45 years or more. They are my favorite too.
Yes buckeyes, i live in Ohio. Love my Ohio State buckeyes. Love you channel Jenn. Cookies all look amazing. You and your sister look alot a like. Merry Christmas to you and your family. 🎁🎄🤶🎅☃️
You talking to Connor sounded very similar to me talking to my daughter while she helped me with our Christmas baking. There was a lot of "no not yet's" lol
Love Casey’s! My town is community of 10000 and we have 6 Casey’s and a Hy-Vee convenience store!!!! My family wants Casey’s pizza , appetizers and strawberry rhubarb pie for Christmas lunch this year. Who would of thunk it? Great cooking video! They all look so good! Just made Chex mix too and pies. Making jalapeño poppers, cheese balls, meat and cheese trays etc. today.
Hey there Jen!! Merry Christmas to you and your family!! Everything looks yummy!! I'm partial to peanut butter balls!! I eat way to many every year!! Have a wonderful week!!
We have gas station chicken here in Nor Cal. Some of the chains are regular stores, but we still call it gas station chicken. It's delicious. I road tripped a lot as a child, and traveled all over the country for work, so food from gas stations/truck stops is the norm to me.
Murphy is such a cutie! He likes the camera. He knows your subscribers love him 🎄🎄.. shout out to Murphy☃️❤️
Yes I am binge watching Vlogmas in September. Lol. As soon as school starts I start getting Christmas vibes. I live in Florida so it never feels like Christmas here. Sadly.

OMG! Your sister is sooo like you!! I was laughing at Connor, thinking that would be one of my kids if I was vlogging lol. Great video xx
Precious little boy busting into your baking video made my day! Real life.
Yay, just in time for some bed time relaxing before sleep!!
I made 3 batches of peanut butter balls, and oreo truffles today. Every year it's our tradition, next time try using toothpicks when you dip, makes it alot easier, hope you have a Merry Christmas!!!

In that coughing scene, Connor made my day!

Seriously #momgoals! Love that you work full time in the medical field, mom, and RUclips phenom. Keep it up. Happy Holidays!
The Connor and Murphy nap moment was the best!

My family has a cereal mix that we make every year as well! We call it Nuts and Bolts for some reason. My grandma used to make it every year and now I’ve started making it for my family.

Lmaoooooooooo 🍸
Hi Jen. Yes here in Ohio they are Buckeyes.
Love your necklace. So pretty. We don't have Casey's here.
So happy that Murphy loves his hedgehog. He is so cute. Such a good boy.
Everything looks delicious! Cold salty eggs. Now I have a new way of saying boiled egg. That is so cute.
Merry Christmas Jen. Love and blessings....
"If you're from Ohio, you call them Buckeyes." YEP. 😂
Kristen Tregoning Yes, we do!!!

Yay! Just in time for my procrastinating self to get motivated for some last minute baking today 😁
Wow - lots of hard work! Merry Christmas to you and your family. New-ish subscriber - love your cooking vlogs.

Great video Jen, thanks as always for sharing! And, I got a kick out of Adam laughing at “balls” 🤣
That was a marathon cooking session. Well done. I wish I had your energy. Thought I was doing well yesterday when I made mince pies and scones!😂
THANK YOU! What a treat to have everything so organized. Everything looks wonderful, can’t wait to try some of your recipes. Thank you again for sharing!
yes, Caseys! I got my gas for 1.99 last week. Their pizza and breakfast pizza is great. So are their raspberrie filled pastries.
I have the same necklace! And I have been so sick I haven’t done any baking this year so I’m living vicariously through you! Everything looks delicious!
Great video!!! I love making and giving treats for xmas as well!!! Merry Christmas Jen and family!!!

Hey Jen🙂 everything looked yummy, I'm going to have to make the cheesecake cookies, Oreo Truffles & dipped pretzels for sure! I can't believe December vlogmas will be over soon!💔💔 I have enjoyed all of them so much!

Casey's donuts and pizza are both the best things ever. I miss them.
Y’all don’t have that in Chicago?! Heinous. I’m coming for Hamilton next weekend I’ll bring you some 😜
@@Jen-Chapin We don't... or at least I haven't seen any here haha. Bring my pizza and donuts!!
Your intros that you put together are so cleaver and always make me laugh.
Merry Christmas Jennifer !
Yes to Casey’s!! There is one a few blocks from my current residence & they deliver pizza.
Oh girl all those cookies look so good😍😍 I’m going to try all of these recipes lol
Lol..Jennifer to Connor: ‘no no no!’
Connor: ‘why, it’s glue?’
Jennifer: ‘No it’s frosting, go wash your hands!’
🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣
Where my husband and I grew up, pizza and donuts from a gas station was where it's at.
Your baking was pretty similar to ours! We did chocolate covered pretzels, Oreo truffles, candied pecans, chocolate and peanut butter fudge, and peanut butter balls.
Wow, you turned your kitchen into a bakery! Thanks for the recipes, I've already pinned them to Pinterest. Conner was so cute! Blessings ~Sidney
All your treats looked perfect 👌 😍
I need to try the sponge candy, Oreo balls and cheesecake cookies 😋😋 thanks for sharing!
Have a wonderful Christmas!! 🎄🎅⛄❤️
500 mile radius from ankeny I believe. But yes Casey's has awesome pizza and donuts. The rest of the world is seriously missin out. Your Casey's is itty bitty, so cute!
I LOVE sponge candy. Crunchies are my all time favorite candy so I really need to try and make my own.
Merry Christmas Jen to you and your family. Love the vlogmas videos!!!!
Everything looks so delicious 😋! Thanks for sharing!
Ty you and your sister for all baking and recipes
We loved making "buckeyes" back home in Ohio. We only dipped the tops of the balls so they looked like buckeyes...lol They are delicious. Love cooking with my sister too!!❤
Everything looks yummy! Merry Christmas to you and your family.
I live in IL, Casey's is just across the alley from my house. Casey's breakfast pizza and breadsticks are amazing.
Great video, those cherry cheese cake cookies look so good! Just an fyi, when I make truffles or buckeyes (yes, I live in central Ohio, Go Buckeyes!) I like to put them in the mini cupcake papers. I think it makes the tray look a little more festive. Happy Holidays to you and yours!
That’s a great tip!!!
Go Buckeyes!! Ohio State!!
I love how Connor wants to be in the kitchen with you. We have a Casey's in our small town. I don't care for their pizza but the donuts are another story. Oreo balls are on my list to make. Caramel corn is my specialty so will be making it too. Press n seal is so much easier to work with vs plastic wrap.
You are incredible!!!! This was so inspiring!!!! Now I better get some baking done today 👌🙌♥️😍
I have literally been waiting every day for your vlogmas vids...thanks for taking the time to share with us all. Hope yall have a happy holiday season! With love, from Atlanta!
I'm from here in Iowa and love Casey's pizza! We are actually having that for lunch today since I will be in the kitchen baking all day! Also my trick for almond bark is to use a little bit of shortening in it!
That is genius! Thank you!
Fave Vlogmas video yet - and I’ve loved them all. Merry Christmas, Chapin Fam! xo
We have Quik Trip gas stations that has really good pizza. They also have yummy fresh baked soft pretzels. We use the QT gas card which gives us 5 cents off every time. I'll have to try making the cheesecake cookies some time. My husband would love those! Cold salty eggs? LOL That doesn't sound appetizing at all.
I’m in Kansas City. Love Casey’s pizza and their biscuits and gravy.
sponge candy haha never heard that before.... we call it honeycomb here in New Zealand
I'm behind still on your videos lol! slowly but surely I'm getting caught up. I made some keto raspberry cheesecake cookies for my 12 days of Christmas cookies. Your hubby might like those (if he likes raspberry lol) They were delicious! These cherry ones look really good. Everything looks yummy. great video!!!
Lol..by the time 7:00 into the video came I was like...’whoa Jen, caffeine got to you today’ lol made me giggly goo! I love the silly in you
My Christmas present was giggling and drinking a sip of my Christmas Bloody Mary every time you said “ball” in this video! Merry Christmas Jen!!!
The sugar cookie recipe is an old one in the Betty Crocker cookbook-called Mary’s sugar cookies. Been making them for 45 years or more. They are my favorite too.

You talking to Connor sounded very similar to me talking to my daughter while she helped me with our Christmas baking. There was a lot of "no not yet's" lol
Love Casey’s! My town is community of 10000 and we have 6 Casey’s and a Hy-Vee convenience store!!!! My family wants Casey’s pizza , appetizers and strawberry rhubarb pie for Christmas lunch this year. Who would of thunk it? Great cooking video! They all look so good! Just made Chex mix too and pies. Making jalapeño poppers, cheese balls, meat and cheese trays etc. today.
In Canada we have a chocolate bar called crunchie, it’s exactly the sponge candy bar. So fun that you guys make that as a holiday tradition
We have Casey’s here in the Tulsa, Oklahoma area! Agree on the pizza & donuts!
Hey there Jen!! Merry Christmas to you and your family!! Everything looks yummy!! I'm partial to peanut butter balls!! I eat way to many every year!! Have a wonderful week!!
We have gas station chicken here in Nor Cal. Some of the chains are regular stores, but we still call it gas station chicken. It's delicious. I road tripped a lot as a child, and traveled all over the country for work, so food from gas stations/truck stops is the norm to me.
