Peanut Butter Blossom Cookies

These Peanut Butter Blossom Cookies are festive and delicious! The classic peanut butter and chocolate combo makes them a favorite for everyone.

I always bake them for the holidays, to serve along with my Red Velvet Crinkle Cookies and Gingerbread Bars.

These soft peanut butter cookies with Hershey’s Kisses candies have been a classic and loved treat by everyone for decades. I start with my trusted soft and chewy peanut butter cookie dough because it makes the best cookies. Then I top them with milk chocolate candy but dark chocolate or even almond works great too! These cookies are a must for the holiday platter!

Christmas Ham Recipe

Make the best Christmas Ham with my simple recipe and tips! This delicious ham with a sweet glaze will be the star of your holiday dinner.

If you have leftovers, don’t forget to use them and make my Leftover Ham Casserole or the Ham and Bean Soup.

Baking ham for the holiday dinner could not be easier. If you are like me and like to buy the fully-cooked bone-in spiral cut ham, the only thing we need to worry about is the glaze. The ham is already cooked and sliced, we need to add flavor. I like the combination of orange juice, spices (cinnamon, cloves, ginger and allspice) with dark brown sugar (to keep the ham super juicy). It’s perfect!

Christmas Fudge

This Christmas Fudge is easy, made with 3 ingredients and never fails! Creamy, smooth and festive, this homemade candy is a must for the holidays.

Along with my Rolo Pretzel Bites and the Christmas M&M Cookies, this fudge is a perfect holiday treat to make and share!

When it comes to homemade holiday candy, I like easy recipes with simple ingredients. Better yet, if they can be easily dressed up with festive sprinkles, mini M&M’s or chopped nuts. Fun to make, share and eat!

I also use my microwave, because it’s quick and easy! Just like I do, to make my Easy Microwave Caramels. Perfect for when you need a last-minute gift for friends and family. Done and done!
