On the Eighth Day of Christmas

Hey, welcome back! Today I have for you a list of (drumroll please) *rrrrrrrrrrrrrrrr* (how do you spell a drumroll?) my favorite Christmas foods! I love food (haha who doesn't?), but Christmas food always seems to beat other food by a fair bit. So here are 5 foods that are a must this Christmas.

1. Sugar Cookies.

(That's from last year!)

I shared a few pictures of these cookies last year in my second post (cringes), and I have to say that these are just amazing. They will magically disappear if you leave your siblings alone with them...and the recipe for these is soon to come.

2. Meringues

Yesterday I shared the recipe for these beauties. They're not very tricky to make, so pop a few in the oven - the recipe's here.

3. Cinnamon Swirl Bread

I made this a month or two ago in one of my first Friday Findings posts. I found the recipe at The Pioneer Woman (many thanks to that woman for this amazing recipe) and even while making a few mistakes, it was fantastic. Just one tip though - roll the dough out super thin and put a LOT of the cinnamon mix in.

4. Saltine Bark

(Sorry I don't currently have a picture - we're making it tonight so I'll share it later)

Let's all take a little time to acknowledge anything called "bark" that is made of good stuff: there is nearly no comparison! Peppermint bark is a personal favorite, but the one that tops the list is this saltine bark. My mom is going to make it tonight and I am SO excited!

5. Hot Chocolate

Let me start of by saying that this is a given. It's on anyone's favorite winter food list. But really - with a few little tips you can make an amazing cup of cocoa.

-Don't fill the cup all the way to the top with hot water. The cocoa won't be too watery that way.

-Fill that extra space with whipped cream! Put sprinkles or crushed peppermint on top and stick a candy cane in the side :D

That is all I have right now on my Christmas treats list - what about you guys? Tell me down below!!
