CHRISTMAS TREE CREAM CHEESE DANISH

You know that excited feeling you get when you walk down the Christmas aisle and it’s Just. So. Sparkly. You just want to buy everything? (It can’t just be me who feels that way?) When I was in university, my sister and I shared a townhouse and the first Christmas we spent there together, we went to the hardware store and bought a Christmas tree, tinsel and tons of ornaments to put on it.  And I mean TONS of ornaments (and lights for that matter…).

It was the first time we were let loose down that sparkly Christmas aisle, and we fell in love with everything we saw. There wasn’t an empty branch on the whole tree by the time we were done! We were so proud of our tree that we called up my parents, and even our grandparents, and invited them over for dinner that night, just so they could admire our very first Christmas tree.

Here’s the step by step, just in case you need it!

Easy Christmas Tree Brownies

These Christmas Tree Brownies are SO EASY and don’t they look adorable?! Just cut the brownies into triangles, add a candy cane trunk, squeeze on some icing, and sprinkle on your favourite toppings! Seal them in an air tight container, and the icing will harden overnight. They travel well and make a great treat for a Christmas party! Oh, and did I mention, they make me SO HAPPY!

Serves: 12

Easy Christmas Tree Brownies to Celebrate With Your Family

A chocolate cupcake with salted caramel frosting and pretzels make a fun salty sweet treat. 

The inspiration for these cupcakes came from my favorite flavor of frozen yogurt, Salted Caramel Pretzel. I would always get that flavor on our yogurt date nights and top it with Reese’s Peanut Butter Cups and more salted caramel. Tyler would always get strawberry with gummy bears. I made fun of him for that. Who want’s hard gummy bears on their frozen yogurt? But he always made fun of mine too.

There’s something about that salty sweet combination, especially when paired with chocolate that is irresistible.

Buckeyes, also known as Peanut Butter Balls, have a smooth peanut butter center and chocolate shell. Make this simple buckeye recipe for your Christmas treat trays. This post has a ton of tips and tricks to making the perfect buckeyes. Be sure to read it all. 

WHAT IS THE DIFFERENCE BETWEEN BUCKEYES AND PEANUT BUTTER BALLS?
In most recipes, the only difference is how they are dipped in chocolate. Buckeyes are only partially dipped in chocolate, leaving the peanut butter showing on the top. That way they look like the nuts from the buckeye tree. Peanut Butter Balls are traditionally covered in chocolate. (see the picture below.) This was one I messed up on and dipped the entire peanut butter ball in chocolate.

The actual process in simple, cream the peanut butter and butter until smooth. Then beat in the powdered sugar and vanilla. Roll into balls. Chill. Dip in Chocolate. Chill and enjoy. But there are a few handy tips I can give to make the process a bit easier.

VERY DELICIOUS BUCKEYES (PEANUT BUTTER BALLS)

Andes Mint Cookies are a soft-baked chocolate cookie loaded with Andes Mint pieces and spread with an extra layer of mint goodness. They’re amazing straight from the oven.

So I meant to post these recipes before Christmas, but I decided time with my family and friends was more important than writing about cookies, so I’m sharing these treats with you now. And the timing may be perfect, because while treats abound in December, who doesn’t need some baking inspiration in January , especially soft chocolately, minty, warm-from-the-oven inspiration.

Tyler got me a new camera lens for Christmas, so even though I shot these pictures a week ago, I had to pull them out of the freezer and test out my new lens! I’m loving it!
