Christmas is the perfect excuse to get back in touch with your inner Martha Stewart (or discover one you never knew you had!) So step aside, don your apron, prepare the oven gloves and give a few of these tantalisingly good recipes a try just in time for the big day.
And even if you're so NOT the baking type, wave a few of these in front of someone who is and who knows what magical might just appear before your eyes (hopefully without any cringe "Expectation vs. Reality" results!)
Now I'm not all that familiar with "bark" bar pictures I've seen on Pinterest, but from what I can gather it's melted chocolate with bits of other stuff chucked in. This one has peppermint, M&Ms, and white chocolate and is super quick and easy to make; win win!
Now there's three words which belong together, and look how cute. How did I not realise before now that gingerbread would be 10,000 times better in the form of a tiny house sitting on the rim of my mug?! You might need a steady hand for this one, but the results are adorbs!
Finally something a bit more sophisticated, a frangipane tart is a favourite no matter what the season, but this festive twist with cranberry and orange looks irresistible (add a big fat blob of cream on the side and it'll be perfect!)
Do I know what a ginger doodle is? Do you know what a ginger doodle is? Does anyone know what a ginger doodle is? But my god, look how warm and soft and gooey it looks. Santa definitely needs one of these left out for him on Christmas eve! (Although how he'll get back up the chimney I'll never know.)
A Buche de Noel is a French yule log, and those guys look like they know what they're doing with this one. Creamy, full of cranberries and smothered with white chocolate, it's one to indulge in.
Are you baking anything special this Christmas, or just enjoying the spoils like me?!
