From Sticky to Soggy: Christmas Treats That Failed the Texture Test.

The holidays bring a feast of festive desserts, but sometimes the texture turns a sweet treat into a struggle. Whether too tough, too mushy, or just plain unpleasant, these Christmas goodies missed the mark.  

Rock-Solid Fruitcake Packed with dense dried fruit and nuts, this legendary holiday doorstop is more brick than cake.

Sticky Toffee Pudding (That Won’t Let Go) Delicious in theory, but some versions are so gluey they feel like a caramel trap for your teeth.

Overly Chewy Gingerbread Cookie Too soft, and they bend instead of snap. Too hard, and you risk a dental emergency. There’s rarely an in-between.

Marshmallow-Stuffed Hot Cocoa Bomb Exciting at first, but if they don’t dissolve properly, you’re left with weird, half-melted marshmallow globs floating in lukewarm chocolate.

Soggy Pumpkin Pie A perfect pumpkin pie should be creamy, not watery. When the crust turns limp and the filling weeps, it’s game over.

Grainy Peppermint Bark When the chocolate doesn’t melt smoothly, you get a gritty, chalky mess instead of a crisp, clean bite.

Gooey Yet Gritty Fudge Homemade fudge can be a delight—unless it crystallizes into an unpleasantly sugary sandcastle in your mouth.
