Holiday Baking Traditions

Whoever started the cookie exchange tradition was genius! It’s so merry to come together with friends and celebrate the season.  It’s also nice to bake once and come away with dozens of delicious treats!

My friend hosts a cookie exchange every year and the baking talents of those she invites is pretty incredible. Definitely a highlight of my holidays.  Shhh, don’t tell. She’s quite the decorator too, so I always borrow a few holiday decorating ideas while I’m there!

A favorite to bring to the cookie exchange are these Cake Mix Peanut Butter Chocolate Bars.  They bake up perfectly and with the addition of Dove Chocolate Gifts in the center, the fudgy middle is melt-in-your-mouth amazing! Dove Chocolate Gifts are also good for justing snacking on! (I won’t tell the kids if you won’t)
