The holiday treat lineup 🎄

👋 Happy Friday,

I think the holidays are basically an excuse to bake things that make the whole house smell like butter and magic.

So, I leaned all the way in this week — red velvet, peppermint, and chocolate that should probably come with a warning label.

Here’s the holiday dessert lineup 👇

1. Red Velvet Cinnamon Rolls

Soft, buttery rolls swirled with cocoa and cinnamon, topped with cream cheese frosting that melts right into every layer.

They look festive, taste like dessert disguised as breakfast, and honestly… might upstage the Christmas cookies.

2. Peppermint Brownies

Fudgy, chocolatey, and topped with crushed candy canes for that perfect holiday crunch.

They’re rich enough to share — but let’s be real, you probably won’t.

3. Fantasy Fudge

The old-school classic that never misses. Creamy, chocolatey, and melt-in-your-mouth smooth — this is the recipe your grandma probably made from the back of a marshmallow jar.

No candy thermometer, no stress, just pure nostalgia.

Food Fact of The Day

The first “red velvet” cake wasn’t red on purpose — it got its color naturally from a reaction between cocoa powder and acidic ingredients like buttermilk and vinegar. The bright red dye came later, when bakers realized it sold better that way.
