Christmas Treats, the Grand Finale: Kransekake!
If you're heading into this pre-holiday weekend looking for a cooking project, this, my friend, is it! My family has these at weddings and major birthdays, and every once in a blue moon someone feels motivated enough to make one for Christmas. It is definitely beautiful and festive, and delicious.

Christmas Treats: Peppermint Shortbread Cookies!
In the final item of the trifecta of peppermint based holiday recipes this week, I give you peppermint shortbread cookies, which are a really nice twist on a classic cookie. They're also something you can keep in the freezer, cut off a few rounds of, and have fresh cookies whenever someone shows up. Easy peasy!

Christmas Treats: Brittle Mania!
This time of year, it's nice to give people a little something. Ideally, this little something tastes awesome, but doesn't take up too much valuable shopping and Elf-viewing time. Even though brittle does involve a candy thermometer (and don't believe anyone who tells you it doesn't, they are either experts or they make bad brittle), it goes together quickly and tastes delicious. These non-traditional versions are extra exciting!

Christmas Treats: Peppermint Krispies!
If you need an easy, kid friendly treat that is not yet another thing made of gingerbread, this is your dessert! About 5 minutes more work than regular rice krispies, but so much more festive!

Christmas Treats: Mexican Wedding Cookies
Is this the best picture? No. Are these the best cookies? YES! I love these nutty, buttery little powdered sugar bombs and so will you!
