What a lovely round-up Angela. This is probably a dumb question, but wondering if there’s anyway to make an alcohol-free version of those Bailey’s?
I’m sure you could leave out the whiskey if you’d prefer. It’s delicious in its own right! Maybe sub it with a bit more espresso or coffee?
They all look so delicious! I can’t wait to snatch up your cookbook this year!
Can’t wait to try the “Peanut Better Balls”, “Creamy Dreamy Peppermint Patties” and the “Gluten Free Graham Crackers” – yummy! Thanks Angela! I hope you enjoy the holidays :)
Oooh, thanks for the round up!
I forgot about the peppermint patty bars, thanks for putting them back on my radar!
I made the peanut butter balls last night and gave them to co workers and my son’s babysitter this morning. I tasted on last night and thought they were seriously spot on. My husband and I are vegan but my sisters and parents are not. I made a batch of the sugar/butter kind of pb balls at a baking day with my sisters two weeks ago. Anything with that much powdered sugar and butter will of course taste good, but I can not enjoy it. These are awesome! I did not have any coconut flour, so I used oat flour and it worked great!
Ooh, it all looks so delicious! I will take one of each please. ;-)
Oh my goodness, you are just too kind to put this together. All the best stuff in one easy place.. I love the 3 course meal plan as well, I’m flirting with the idea of preparing an entire dinner for my family when I’m home and I’m just spinning with ideas! So this helps narrow it a bit for me (hehe) .. And I seriously have to make the Turtle Oatmeal Cookies. Seriously.
They all look SO good! I just don’t know which one to make first!
The list looks amazing. I made the Vegan Bailey’s this week and my husband and I finished it up pretty quickly. I’ve already already packed up the ingredients to take with us and make while we are visiting family for the holidays!! And I have several more treats planned this week!
As I scrolled through I just was more and more reminded of how much I LOVE your recipes, drooling over everything! : )
Angela, these all look amazing!
What are you doing to me? Its not even 10am and I already want dessert!! :) Looks like I will be spending some quality time in the kitchen today!
:D
I cannot wait to try those turtles cookies!! I was going to bake them last night but was afraid I would eat them all… I will save it for when I am expecting guests! Haha
I’m drooling right now! So many delicious treats! The vegan baileys drink sounds amazing! Perfect for the holidays! :)
I have made so many things from your website in the past couple of days it’s insane. I am not complaining by any means though. LOVE the pb balls, fudge, and turtle cookies. The sticky toffee pudding has been a favorite since the first time you posted the recipe. So so so good! I want to make the chilled dark chocolate pie next. It would be perfect with a side of homemade almond milk! :)
These all look amazing Angela! Do you have any recommendations for something that can handle a bit of travel and possibly heat without melting/falling apart? I’m eyeing up the fudge but I’m afraid of what the New Zealand summer will do to it. Thanks!
Ok, I totally wish I could spend all day tomorrow home baking because all of this looks absolutely brilliant! I never really bake because my talents lie more in salads and entrees, but you’ve triggered an urge. My co-workers are going to get some treats! :)
Can I add your Nutcracker Cookies to that list? I’ve made those the past two years for Christmas. I just have to make sure I give them away or I’ll seriously eat the whole batch ;-)
Vegan Bailey’s?! My Christmas has been made……
