I hope you all had a merry Christmas! I spent the week home in NY enjoying time with family, consuming lots of calories, and taking a nice little break from life! Shutting off for a few days can really do wonders, but after 5 days out of the kitchen, I’m itching to get back to baking 🙂 I’ve already got lots of new dessert ideas brewing in my head for 2013, but first I want to take a look back at the best of 2012. From sparkly peeps to an oatmeal cream pie makeover that still makes me swoon, this was a seriously sweet year! There was no way I could narrow down my favorites, so these are your top picks! I wonder if your favorite made the list…
12. White Chocolate Strawberry Shortcake
11. Sprinkle Cookie Cake
10. Red Velvet Cake Frites & Southern Comfort Dipping Sauce
9. Blueberry Bliss Oatmeal Cream Pies
8. Apple Crisp Bars
7. Pumpkin Kiss Brownies
6. Peanut Butter Pretzel M&M Truffle Brownies
5. Nutella Frangelico Ice Cream Sandwiches
4. Cadbury Mini Egg Cheesecake Bars
3. Chocolate & Goat Cheese Cupcakes
2. Glamour Peeps 2.0
1. Baileys Irish Cream Cookies
Well, that wraps it up. You guys really like bars and brownies – then again, how could you not? Layers upon layers of flavors all baked in one pan. How you really try to not dig in as soon as they come out of the oven, key word here is try!! Don’t even get me started on those apple crisp bars, or we’ll be here till tomorrow! As always, thank you for being here and allowing me to share my creations with you!
I want to wish you a Happy & Healthy New Year! I can’t wait to see what’s in store for 2013, and I’ll see you next year with a new dessert!
