Pour the melted almond bark into a pastry bag. Using the almond bark, paint a triangle- or circle-shaped white section on the “bottom” section of the mini pretzel twist. You’ll want to make sure to add enough to fill the holes on the bottom section. If not, the almond bark will fall through the holes and won’t leave you with a flat surface for the face.

Add two candy eyeballs for the eyes.

Add either a red sugar pearl (to make Rudolph) or a black sugar pearl (to make one of the other reindeer). Continue until you’ve finished all the pretzels.

Baileys Truffles are a must-make for your next gathering.

Baileys Truffles

c. semisweet chocolate chips

heavy cream

c. Baileys

c. white chocolate chips

coconut oil

Cinnamon sugar,

What's your favorite way to drink Baileys?

Set up a double boiler by placing a medium heatproof bowl over a small pot of simmering water. Add chocolate chips and heavy cream and stir until melted.&nbsp;

Turn off heat and stir in Baileys and salt. Refrigerate until chocolate mixture is firm enough to roll into balls, about 1 hour.&nbsp;

In a medium heatproof bowl, microwave white chocolate and coconut oil together in 20-second intervals until melted.

Using a small cookie scoop, roll chocolate into 1-inch balls then place on a parchment-lined baking sheet. Using a fork, dip each truffle into white chocolate, turning to coat. Place back on baking sheet and sprinkle with cinnamon sugar.&nbsp;

Terrible recipe. The semisweet chocolate was still liquid after an hour in the fridge and when left longer was impossible to shape. Once it was dipped into the white chocolate it immediately began to melt and discolour the white chocolate. I'm honestly mad at the ingredients I wasted trying to follow this impossible recipe.

I have made these a few times, they are amazing! A definite crowd pleaser.

Santa Hat Brownies are a cute Christmas dessert made with a box of brownie mix and decorated with a fresh fruit and whipped cream hat. Quick and easy to make, they&#039;re the perfect bite-size sweet treat for holiday parties and cookie platters.

Santa Hat Brownies

dark chocolate brownie mix

(1 stick) salted butter (melted)

milk

strawberries

whipped cream

Sprinkles or clear sanding sugar (optional garnish)

Preheat the oven to 350 degrees Fahrenheit and generously grease two mini muffin tins with cooking spray.

Mix together the brownie mix, eggs, melted butter and milk in a large mixing bowl until smooth, about 2 minutes.

Pour the brownie mix into the mini muffin tins, filling each “brownie” about ¾ of the way full.

Bake for 15-18 minutes or until the brownies are beginning to get firm on the edges and a toothpick inserted in the center comes out mostly clean.

Remove the brownie from the oven and allow them to cool completely.

While the brownies are cooling, rinse and dry the strawberries and then use a paring knife to cut the stem and top bit of each strawberry off. You want them to have a flat surface that allows them to “stand”.

Once the brownies are cooled, remove them from the tin by gently swiveling them back and forth in the tin until they come loose. Use a spatula or plastic knife to loosen the edges only if absolutely necessary.

Use the can of whipped cream to pipe a circle around the top edge of each brownie.

Place 1 strawberry on each brownie, on top of the whipped topping creating the hat.

Finish each hat with a small dollop of whipped topping and sprinkle with sprinkles or clear sanding sugar, optional.

This Easy Peanut Butter Fudge is only four ingredients and comes together in about ten minutes! You need this peanut butter fudge recipe in your life.

Easy Peanut Butter Fudge

peanut butter chips ((see note 1))

sweetneed condensed milk ((see note 2))

peanut butter

Line an 8 by 8 inch baking dish with parchment paper or aluminum foil. (I do find that parchment paper works a little better - see notes in the pos for more details.) Set aside.

In a medium saucepan over medium low heat, melt the peanut butter chips with the sweetened condensed milk, stirring consistenly. Make sure the heat is not too high and you continue to scrape the bottom of the pan to prevent burning.

Remove the pan from the heat and stir in the peanut butter and the vanilla extract.

Pour into the prepared baking dish. Cover with aluminum foil and let set for four hours. This can be done in the refrigerator for easy cutting later or on the coutnertop.

When ready to cut, remove the fudge from the parchment paper. Trim off just enough of the edges to make straight smooth edges. (Or don&#x27;t! This is only for looks.) Cut the remaining block in half one way and then the other way so you have four large squares. Each square can be cut in thirds one way and then thirds the other way so that each of the squares yields 9 pieces.

Store the fudge in an airtight container for up to two weeks. Or eat immediately.
