Christmas Day Desserts

Dessert is certainly the most beloved course on the Christmas menu for the kids – it really is the icing on the cake! Whatever dessert you choose to serve for your friends and family on Christmas Day, just remember you can’t go wrong as long as the sweetness of the dessert produces happy full bellies and satisfied smiles.

Need A Little More Help?

Most importantly, make sure you don’t take on so much that you can’t enjoy the day too! It is okay to ask your guests to bring a plate on Christmas Day, just make sure you specify what sort of food you’d like them to bring so you don’t end up with 10 dips but no desserts!

My daughter makes these cookies for us and we all My daughter makes these cookies for us and we all love them so. I LOVE ROCKY ROAD, and these have all those yummy flavours in a cookie! They are a perfect treat in the afternoon when I sit down with a cuppa, I do love the crunch of the nuts and gooeyness of the marshmallow. ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
The cookies freeze really well for eating later, but I must admit we tend to polish off the batch pretty quickly and they very rarely make it to the freezer in our home. I am planning on doing a big baking day soon to stock my freezer with snacks, these cookies would make a lovely once in a while, lunchbox treat if your child attends a school that allows nuts 🥜 ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
The recipe is on my blog, or just swipe up in my stories! ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
