What’s going to be in your stocking? If it’s like our fun Christmas stocking cookie jar, it just might be coal! However, that doesn’t necessarily mean you’ve been bad this year—it just means you get to eat a delicious lump of chocolate that you can customize to your own tastes. Warning: this recipe will make your house smell like Christmas!
On the sixth day of Christmas, my true love gave to me . . . six Eggnog Bars! Or, take just one (if you can stop). These great bar cookies are rich with a custard layer that is unusual for a cookie. You can substitute brandy for the rum or use flavoring instead of alcohol. In a pinch, a little molasses mixed with water will replace the flavoring.
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.
This appetizer pizza pairs the flavors of roasted butternut squash and fresh sage with creamy-rich Alfredo sauce, shaved Parmesan cheese and melting bits of crumbled blue cheese-baked golden and delicious on artisan flatbread. For this easy-to-assemble pizza, add toppings as needed, based on the size of flatbread you are using in recipe. For added convenience, alternate whole butternut squash with refrigerated diced butternut squash.
