Andrea's prowling the aisles at Seattle Goodwill, looking for the most commonly donated Unitaskers in the houseware aisles (banana hooks, anyone?) Meanwhile, Stefin's raving about the Gingerbread Cookie Bars from The Laughing Spatula food blog and has already and dubbed them "The Christmas Cookie of 2017." Next up in our month of BonBons and Bars is Apple Cider Caramels from Smitten Kitchen. Both hosts are newbies at the candy-making game, but with a month's worth of solid success behind them, they're sure they are up to the challenge.

Stefin has a delicious update from International Night, and, in keeping with Bon Bon & Bars month, introduces listeners to the Brazillian "national candy," brigadeiros. Andrea's wondering if she's up to the challenge of a classic Yule Log, and both hosts discuss holiday desserts they've never eaten. Both also loved the easy and quick (!) Homemade English Toffee (introduced in Episode 55) and have now made it several times, while contemplating a commercial candy venture. Next up are Gingerbread Cookie Bars from The Laughing Spatula, reminiscent of Andrea's Christmas Cookie Challenge in Episode 6. Finally, the duo discuss favorite kitchen gifts they've received over the years, including Kitchen Aid mixers, Cuisnarts, double-sided measuring spoons, food scales, French rolling pins and cookie jars.

Andrea and Stefin are in the holiday mood as they kick off a festive month of Bon Bons & Bars with Blizzard Blondies -- pretty, easy and delicious! Stefin's trying to stay warm during the UK's "arctic blast," is looking forward to Nigella Lawson's first Christmas special since 2008, and is trying to determine how many apple slab pies to contribute to the USA table at her daugther's International Night. Fortunately, Big Batch Baker (BBB) Andrea has plenty of advice. Over in the Gadget Garage, Andrea recently turned to the Preheated Facebook community for help identifying a mysterious kitchen implement -- a flat whisk! -- while Stefin muses over the helpfulness of "one-off" kitchen gadgets. (Andrea's got a favorite.) Andrea's also looking forward to her annual holiday cooking decorating weekend and has several tips for listeners planning their own. Finally, Stefin answers the burning question: "What's the Christmas cookie scene like in London?" and the duo discuss Preheated fans' favorite Christmas cookies.

Andrea is hot off another successful cookbook club meeting, and has several desserts to report on from the new Smitten Kitchen cookbook, Every Day. Meantime, Stefin is cleaning her stainless steel sink with an old-fashioned cleaning agent: Bicarb! (That's baking soda in the USA.) Both hosts debate how dangerous a bread and cake delivery service could be after Andrea tries one with delicious results. Speaking of delicious, Andrea has a new favorite birthday cake, the Fudgy Chocolate Cake with Vanilla Buttercream Frosting from, yes, Smitten Kitchen! Next, Stefin cues the violins and the hosts recount birthday treats they pined after as children (Barbie and the Matterhorn is all we'll say). And finally, Cate Brubaker, founder of International Desserts Blog, joins Stefin to talk about travel, global food trends, "freakshakes" and quark, and recreating favorites at home.

What's your baking horoscope? Andrea loves wine and Stefin loves...turbot? OK, maybe they aren't perfect, but it sure was fun to hear them.

Finally, our hosts awarded their First Year Blue Ribbons to the Chocolate Chess Pie from Episode 16 and the Lemon Drizzle Cake from Episode 45.

Stefin and Andrea kick off Preheated's celebratory first anniversary month with a look back at some memorable episodes -- including Cranberry Upside Down Cake (Episode 3), homemade eggnog (Episode 5) and Biscoff Pie (Episode 14). Andrea reminds listeners that now is a perfect time to stock up on baking spices, flour and butter (just like in Episode 1), and Stefin may have discovered the name of the mysterious Italian beignet she talked about in Episode 47. Next, both hosts introduce a cupcake that's reminiscent of a favorite bake made during their first year -- Stefin's doing a Boston Cream Pie Cupcake (harking back to Episode 27), and Andrea will flout the season and do a S'Mores Cupcake (like Episode 40). Finally, the duo share the lessons they've learned, resolutions they've kept, and the audio that's haunting them after one year on air.
