On the tenth day of Christmas, my true love gave to me . . . a rest from so many cookies and some wonderfully spicy hot chocolate to wash them all down! We figured there was nothing like a little chipotle to bring out the best in chocolate and wake you up after tasting cookie after cookie after cookie. If this hot chocolate doesn't thicken to your liking, the trick is simply to add a little cornstarch.
On the eighth day of Christmas, my true love gave to me . . . eight chocolate cream filled cookies perfect for dunking in milk! And eight won’t be enough, trust us. These are a perfect imitation of one of America’s favorite cookies, only homemade so you can make them any size you want.
Mrs. Cratchit probably used a recipe similar to this to serve husband Bob, Tiny Tim and the rest of the family when she stuffed the Christmas goose. It’s a classic, traditional recipe for a reason—because it’s good!
Don’t worry about pricking yourself on these Prickly Pear Christmas Cactus Blossoms when you reach in—the prickly pear syrup makes for a unique flavor profile that adds a fun southwestern touch.
