A Few Favorites
If you are looking for some last minute holiday entertaining/gift/food ideas and can’t seem to find what you are looking for in Sugar Rush, here are a few of my other holiday favorites from blog posts past:
Gingerbread White Chocolate Blondies: It’s like you are eating up the holidays in brownie form. Chewy and buttery and delicious.
Chocolate and Caramel Dipped Pretzel Rods: Hands down my favorite, favorite, favorite Christmas candy to make and eat. Sweet, salty, beautiful and tasty.
Chocolate Cream Cheese Truffles: No tempering chocolate or messy dipping, just simple, decadent truffles that will have you ruining any and all diet plans.
Holiday Morning Buns: Our traditional Christmas morning breakfast – made the night before for a no-fuss breakfast, these buns are tender, light and absolutely amazing.
Chocolate Peppermint Cookies: A Girl Scout Thin Mint knockoff, these cookies are unbelievable. Every time I make them I can’t believe how stunning they are. A holiday favorite around our house.
Chocolate Turtle Cookies: Another favorite Christmas cookie, these are absolutely breathtaking in presentation and delicious in taste – chewy, nutty, caramelly and perfect.
Almond Roca: I’ve been making this version of toffee for years and it is unbelievably buttery and yummy. My favorite toffee recipe by a long shot.
Mock Chocolate Macadamia Nut Toffee: A simpler, yet just as tasty version of toffee. Made with graham crackers, a whole lot of other love (read: butter and sugar), and topped with chocolate and macadamia nuts – this toffee ranks right up there with my favorites.
Gingerbread Sleds: Our family’s favorite holiday tradition and our take on the famous gingerbread house, we decorate these every year and have a blast doing it. Filled with goodies, these sleds make the perfect neighbor treat.
Now, enough of the sweets, right?? Check back Monday for a healthy and delicious recipe that is lovely enough for entertaining and simple enough for a weeknight meal!

Thanks so much for your great recipes Melanie! I made the cookie dough for the Chocolate Peppermint Cookies last night and am about to make them right now! 🙂
Melanie – Can I just say I love you!! You are amazing to do this for us. I was just thinking this morning that I needed a Christmas breakfast recipe that I could do the night before, so I get on My Kitchen Cafe and wahlah- Here it is Holiday Morning Buns. You are the real deal Mel. No other food blog will do for me! lol Tori
Funny- I did a post on those peppermint cookies too! I loved them.

We made the sleds for our “kiddie cooking class” and it was a huge hit. Thanks for the wonderful idea!
