How do some salted caramel peanut butter cups sound right about now? These vegan peanut butter cups are ooey gooey delicious. Do you remember Reese’s peanut butter cups? These are better! The salted caramel and dark chocolate elevate these treats to new heights.

When I first tasted a variation of these truffles at my friends house (we have an annual Christmas family get-together), I melted into my seat.

These festive Peppermint Fudge Energy Bites are an indulgent tasting yet healthy treat you can feel good about eating.

No holiday party is complete without a big batch ofcookies, and this recipe will be sure to impress your guests. I used dark chocolate chips in this recipe, not only because I think they taste better, but also because dark chocolate is loaded with antioxidants. The white whole-wheat flour also has more fiber than regular all-purpose flour.

These brownies aren’t uber sweet and have this subtle “je ne said quoi” from that magical tahini. They also make the perfect afternoon snack and would be great to send along with your kids to school or camp. Nut free for the win! They also freeze incredibly well and I actually prefer them straight from the freezer. If you haven’t tasted a brownie straight from the freezer than you really haven’t lived.

These dark chocolate oranges are AMAZING! If you are looking for a simple, delicious, and healthy recipe to impress your guests this is it. I mean who could resist oranges dipped in dark chocolate?

Make theseeasy homemade chocolate lollipops for a delicious homemade holiday gift! P.S. Be sure and save some for yourself!

The word Bischochuelo comes from a Spanish derived word that just means pastry, cookie, or baked good. I did find that Bischochitos are a similar cookie and are in fact the state cookie of New Mexico. Pretty cool. So with all of this history and new found information about the famous Christmas cookie nana always made, I was ready to perfect the method. I added a glaze, which is not like the original (and optional) but I feel like it makes them a little more festive. They are really a simple cookie, but they have a very distinct flavor and evoke real and happy memories for me.

If you are a fan of ginger, you will absolutely LOVE this recipe. I would double the recipe, because they will disappear in no time over the holidays. They make for a great hostess gift too!
