My holiday baking has officially begun. Last year, everyone's favorite were the chocolate peppermint cookies, and as much as I would love to make them again, I had to try something new: a peppermint brownie. I found out most my friends prefer brownies over cookies, so... I adapted. Also, I participated in Brooklyn Bride's holiday card swap, and since this is a baking blog, I wanted to send out some of the goods with my cards. I really hope they're not destroyed in the mail - sorry ladies if they are! I'm blaming it on the mailman.
And I've got at least 3-4 more holiday recipes coming up, so check back for more suga.
