Don’t be fooled by these treats. I haven’t been hard at work making Christmas treats the past few weeks; in fact, the only goodies I’ve made have been of the ‘no-bake’ genre. These chocolate + peanut butter dipped pretzels exceptionally easy to make, as you might have guessed. Simply melt chocolate in a double-boiler, add […]
I mentioned on Monday that I attended a holiday party this past weekend. One of the stipulations for the party was that we had to bring a holiday cookie to share.

As for me, the weather is unseasonably gorgeous, I got to spend the weekend with my family, and it’s Easter, which means a bevy of delicious eats!
