I know, guys. 

I’m on the “naughty blogger list.” 

This Christmas season has been hectic for me, to say the least.  Not only have I not shared any festive goodies with you guys, but I’ve barely made any myself.  Last year, I shared a handful of seasonal treats, all of which deserve to be revisited.  To make up for this year’s last of Christmas cheer on the blog (and to show that I do, in fact, have Christmas spirit!) I’ve dedicated this post to some of the tastiest confections on my site from the past year or so.  I would recommend any and all of these recipes for whatever the occasion is that you need a “knock ‘em dead” cookie, brownie, or what have you. 

Without further ado..

“Dessert Disguised as Breakfast”

Ahhhh… who doesn’t love a sugar coma before noon?!  Any of these would be a hit for brunch or served on Christmas morning!  Make sure to serve with mimosas.
