This post is a part of the 31 Days to a Handmade Christmas series.
I hope you have enjoyed all the delectable treats this week on the blog. I know we have.
Next week: sugar detox.
When I come out of my sugar coma and am able to again enjoy the occasional sweet treat, I will be referencing this list. I’ve gathered together some of my favorite treats and some new ones that I’m excited to try. Several are ones that were gifted to friends and family last year (like these incredible maple peanut nougat chocolate clusters) and others are ones that will be added to this year’s gift tins (I can’t wait to try this pumpkin and walnut fudge!!).
What’s great about this list is that it is all recipes that are made with real ingredients but nothing too obscure or too expensive.
Peruse the list, drool over the mouthwatering photos, and start planning your next holiday baking session. Just be sure to include me on the gift list.
