Welcome To Day 3 Of “25 Days Of Christmas Sweet Treats”!
Last year I did “25 Days Of Christmas Cookies“. Please click the link to find all those wonderful recipes and please check back here every day for Christmas Sweet Treats all the way up until Christmas Day!
Today I am revisiting a recipe I made for the first time last Christmastime. This time it has a small but very subtle twist and they are simply even more amazing!
I am still waiting on my Christmas Tree…It really is the only last touch to make the house into Christmas full swing. I am still hoping this weekend the trees will be here. Otherwise we just have to wait till whenever as they are all out of fake trees here on base and I prefer real anyways.
Have you been getting snow where you live? It’s been quiet around here since Black Friday, we got several inches and it was so beautiful but I want more,lol. So while I bake I hope for snow!
Merry Christmas!
