It may have actually been October 9th when I wrote this post. I may or may not but definitely was craving the holiday yumminess that begins around December 1st so I decided to write WAYYY in advance the awesome list for December. Thirty-one amazing holiday recipes and treats that I'm pretty sure I'll have already started by the time this post rolls around. Don't judge me - I had a baby in my belly directing me towards all things sweet. So really, this is HIS awesome list post. Man, not even born yet and he's already a blogger. Talk about making his mama proud.
....Although I'm pretty sure I'll be making them with cashews instead.
3 - {Sugared Cranberries}
Say whaaat??
4 - {Butterscotch Caramels}
Caramels have been the bane of my cooking existence for quite some time now. This year that will end. I am determined.
5 - {Peppermint Mocha Cupcakes}
6 - {White Chocolate Cherry Shortbread}
Apparently the best Christmas cookies ever. Which means I have no choice but to make them.
7 - {Christmas Tree Cake}
Although after the epic fail of my 4th of July cake there is no way I'll be putting the ornament inside. I think a simple red velvet will suffice.
8 - {Homemade Marshmallows}
9 - {Ginger Cookies}
These had better be super soft and chewy. Or else you'l be on my list, Ina.
10 - {Salted Caramel Shortbread}
11 - {Gingerbread Cheesecake Bites}
Wayyyy better than making a gingerbread house.
12 - {Chocolate Mint Truffle Biscotti}
13 - {Hot Cocoa Cookies}
I mean, just look at that chocolately goo.
14 - {Pumpkin Toffee Cookies w/Salted Caramel Glaze}
Because apparently I need more pumpkin in my life.
15 - {Rocky Road Chocolate Bark}
16 - {Dark Chocolate & Salted Caramel Shortbread}
Since one salted caramel shortbread recipe isn't enough.
17 - {Chocolate Hazelnut & Caramel Thumbprint Cookies}
Like a caramel loaded Ferrero Rocher - which are always found in my stocking each Christmas morning.
18 - {Pistachio & White Chocolate Mousse Tartlets}
I make these every year because they are AMAZING.
19 - {Cinnamon Roll Wreath}
It's not Christmas morning without cinnamon rolls and although I usually prefer my cinnamon rolls right from the center of the pan for the ultimate gooeyness, the wreath is so festive I can't resist.
20 - {Santa Hat Cupcakes}
21 - {Brownie Peppermint Cookies}
22 - {Mousse Topped White Chocolate Peppermint Cheesecake}
Holy crap. I'm pretty sure I'm salivating right now.
23 - {Chocolate Snowballs}
Like sandies...but with chocolate...EXCELLENT.
24 - {Candy Cane Brownies}
25 - {North Pole Cupcakes}
26 - {Peppermint & White Chocolate Cream Pie}
27 - {York Peppermint Patty Fudge Cookies}
Does anyone else need a York stat after seeing this commercial? Mad props to THAT advertising team.
28 - {Andes Cupcakes}
Is the Andes at the end of the meal anyone else's favorite part of going to Olive Garden? Well, besides the house salad. And bread sticks. And alfredo sauce. Hmm, I guess I know where I'm going for dinner.
29 - {Melted Snowman Sugar Cookies}
Although I'd use this recipe for super soft & thick cookies.
30 - (Christmas Tree Cupcakes}
31 - {Caramel Corn}

Soo.....I'd share a link to the recipe, but I use my mom's - which is super amazing. If you're lucky I'll share the recipe with you later. And if you're even luckier and live around here I'll even share some of the batch I'll be making with you.
