But my favorite part is the memories that come with baking and cooking our holiday favorites! So many memories of people and years past, and so many new memories to be made. Good times!
This year our littlest was so excited to help with the holiday baking, and you can only imagine how big his eyes got when I told him to run and get his Little Tikes hammer so that we could start! He donned his "Christmas Cookie Helper" apron and chef hat lickety split, and the fun began!  Brownie Turtle Cookies These decadent Brownie Turtle Cookies taste even more wonderful than they look!

Cashew Brittle It used to be that every time we visited Amish country, I would always see homemade Cashew Brittle. It's so good - but so crazy expensive! A small baggie-sized portion sells for almost $5.00! And as much as I had a picture in my mind of a young Amish lass making up batches of this in her farmhouse over an old-fashioned stove, I started thinking that it can't be any harder to make delicious homemade Cashew Brittle than it is to make Peanut Brittle or Pecan Brittle!
And so this was born. It's a method - and in less than ten minutes makes homemade Cashew Brittle that is the absolute best we have ever had!  Almond & Jam Thumbprint Cookies (Apricot & Raspberry) These buttery Almond & Jam Shortbread Cookies, filled with delicious apricot, raspberry or your favorite jam, are perfect for a tea party or the holidays!
Truth be told, these are one of my FAVORITE Christmas cookies - I much prefer the delicate shortbread to all of the peanut butter and chocolate cookies that are so loved by everyone else in the family!  Marshmallow Dream Bars The holiday baking season has officially kicked off, and this week we'll be making all of our favorite Christmas candies! My little ones have insisted that we start with their favorite Marshmallow Dream Bars - and it's the perfect treat to start with.
Smooth and silky chocolate, butterscotch, peanut butter and loaded with fluffy little marshmallows - these Marshmallow Dream Bars truly are a dream! With only five ingredients and five minutes of your time, you'll see why these are the perfect treat for your kiddos to help you make, and kids LOVE these. A sprinkle of holiday M&M's makes the easiest and most festive holiday treat ever!  Double Chocolate Peppermint Bark It wouldn't be Christmas without Double Chocolate Peppermint Bark! This is so easy to make, and the perfect blend of dark chocolate, white chocolate and peppermint. Homemade Double Chocolate Peppermint Bark is so pretty and so much better than anything that you can buy! Many peppermint bark recipes call for simply melting the chocolate and slathering them together - but you won't have the snap or shiny bark that you'll have when you take the time to temper the chocolate first, which really just involves a few extra minutes during preparation. Easy peasy! WHAT EXACTLY IS "TEMPERING" CHOCOLATE?The best chocolate bark should be shiny and "snap" when you break or bite into it - and the secret is "tempering" the chocolate - a simple heating and cooling process that ensures melted chocolate will be shiny and have just the right "snap" to it once it hardens again.
 Snowflake Meltaway Cookies Oh. My. Heavens. Tiny, little bite-sized snowflakes that melt in your mouth! And as much fun as trying to catch snowflakes with your tongue!
Now that the holiday baking season is kicking off, I wanted to share a perfect little cookie with you. This is the first of several fabulous recipes that I will be sharing for our annual month-long holiday cookie & treat celebration. It seems like there has been a lot of chocolate and caramel going on at our house lately, and I wanted to give you a special little something filled with a touch of pure vanilla and almond flavor that will just melt your heart... |
