Flourless Coconut Chocolate Drops

These are what I’m making this year! They’re super easy, and gluten free!

Chocolate Chunk Blondies

I’m also making these. I can’t help myself. They freeze well so I plan on making some this week to give away next week!

Caramel Brioche Croutons

These are CRAZY good. You could fill up a huge jar with them…or you could dip them in chocolate and package them up…or you could just give them to me directly off the baking sheet. I’m down for whatever.

Roasted Rosemary Almonds

Can’t go wrong with these babies. People appreciate savory this time of year!
