Christmas Baking

I made a list a couple of weeks ago of things I wanted to bake for Christmas. Surprisingly I've gotten through more of the list than I expected to considering how exhausted I've been from work.

First up, I made ginger cookies, which I made last year (find the recipe here). I love these cookies so much!


Then because I had picked up holiday baking chips at Bulk Barn I made some basic double chocolate chip cookies which satisfy chocolate cravings very well.


And as usual I made a tray of Magic Bars. Both mine and Adam's families have been making Magic Bars every Christmas for as long as we can remember. I find everyone has their own unique twist on these bars but I attached the recipe we use. They're so amazing. I don't want to share them with anyone.



Last, I made up a batch of Fruitcake cookies for Adam. I really don't like fruitcake. I actually don't like the candied fruit. The cookies are apparently good. I tried a small one but they didn't provide much satisfaction.


What have you been baking for the holiday season?

Eye Candy

It's no secret I have a sweet tooth so I'm definitely a fan of all the Easter goodies that are in stores currently.... chocolate, jelly beans, marshmallow Peeps! I enjoy making recipes with leftover candy or discounted candy. Peeps, Mini Eggs, and M&Ms are always better half-price!

These are a few recipes I'd like to make with some Easter treats. 

Chocolate Peanut Butter PEEPS Skillet S'mores


Cadbury Mini Egg Cake Dip

  

I already made the following recipe using all white chocolate chips. It's good but incredibly sweet. I think pretty pastel M&Ms (any flavour of them) would make these bars better!


I hope you're having a wonderful Easter weekend!
