Rice Krispie Squares are made in our house all the time. They are quick, easy and because they don’t have eggs or nuts in them they are a treat that all the kids can enjoy.

To add a little festive flare to our squares we simply covered them with Christmas sprinkles and tied them up with licorice to make them look like little presents.

Our Lesson: Christmas is about giving. We are so excited to celebrate the greatest gift of all – Jesus! Happy Birthday to Jesus!

It was bound to happen at some point during this countdown.
And today was the day.

Our first baking hiccup.

Say hello to our super undercooked snowball cookies:

esterday the girls and I made these amazing pumpkin cookies. They just might possibly be my new favorite cookie. Yup. Pumpkin. My favorite….. shocking since there isn’t a trace of chocolate in them!

If you were going to do just one more recipe for the holidays I would highly recommend this one. They are melt in your mouth soft and the maple icing is perfectly sweet. Yum!

Now, here’s where I keep it real….

Mars bars were one of my favorite chocolate bars growing up. When I was little I played Ringette and after every game my Dad would stop at 7-eleven and treat me to a drink and a chocolate bar. Most days I would choose an iced tea and the chocolate bar was always either Mars Bars or Areo.

Which is probably why I love this recipe so much. Melted mars bars and chocolate topping. Yup, that’s my kind of combo.
