Cranberry Kiss Cocktail

Ingredients:

3 ounces La Marca prosecco (chilled)
1 ounce Absolut vodka
2 ounces Ocean Spray cranberry juice
1/2 ounce orange liqueur (e.g., Triple Sec)
1/2 ounce fresh lime juice
Splash of cranberry-flavored Bubly seltzer
Fresh cranberries and a twist of orange peel for garnish

Recipe:

In a shaker, combine vodka, cranberry juice, orange liqueur, and lime juice with ice.
Shake well and strain into a champagne flute.
Top with chilled Prosecco and a splash of cranberry-flavored seltzer.
Garnish with fresh cranberries and a twist of orange peel.

Reindeer Bark

Ingredients:

12 ounces dark or milk chocolate (chopped or in chip form)
2 Nature Valley bars (any flavor you prefer)
2 Snickers bars, chopped
Chopped nuts (optional, for extra crunch and flavor)
Sprinkles or sea salt (optional, for garnish)

Recipe:

Line a baking sheet or tray with parchment paper.
In a microwave-safe bowl, melt the chocolate in 20-30 second intervals, stirring between each interval until it’s fully melted and smooth. Alternatively, you can melt the chocolate using a double boiler on the stovetop.
While the chocolate is still warm and melted, spread it evenly onto the parchment paper to your desired thickness. You can use a spatula to smooth it out.
Immediately sprinkle the crushed Nature Valley bars, chopped Snickers bars, and chopped nuts (if using) over the melted chocolate. Press them gently into the chocolate to make sure they adhere.
If you’d like to add some decorative flair, sprinkle some colorful sprinkles or a touch of sea salt over the top.
Place the baking sheet in the refrigerator and allow the chocolate to cool and harden. This will typically take about 1-2 hours.
Once the chocolate is completely set, remove it from the refrigerator. Carefully break the bark into pieces by hand or using a knife.
Serve your Snickers and Nature Valley Chocolate Bark, and enjoy!

Holiday Muddy Mix

Ingredients:

9 cups Chex cereal (any variety)
1 cup semisweet chocolate chips
1/2 cup smooth peanut butter
1/4 cup unsalted butter
1 teaspoon vanilla extract
1 1/2 cups powdered sugar
1 cup red and green M&M’s (or any festive M&M’s)

Recipe:

Prepare the Chex Cereal: In a large mixing bowl, measure out the 9 cups of Chex cereal. Set this aside for now.
Prepare the Chocolate Mixture: In a microwave-safe bowl, combine the semisweet chocolate chips, peanut butter, and unsalted butter. Microwave the mixture in 30-second intervals, stirring after each interval until it’s smooth and well combined. Stir in the vanilla extract.
Coat the Chex Cereal: Pour the chocolate mixture over the Chex cereal and gently fold the cereal until it’s evenly coated with the chocolate mixture.
Coat with Powdered Sugar: In a large resealable plastic bag or a large mixing bowl, add the powdered sugar. Transfer the coated Chex cereal into the bag or bowl with the powdered sugar. Seal the bag (if using) and shake it vigorously to coat the cereal with powdered sugar. If using a bowl, toss gently until the cereal is well coated.
Add Festive M&M’s: Once the cereal is coated with powdered sugar, add the red and green M&M’s and gently mix them into the mixture.
Set and Cool: Spread the Muddy Buddies out on a baking sheet or a large piece of parchment paper to cool and set. Allow them to sit for at least an hour or until the chocolate is firm.
Serve: Once they are set, you can transfer your Muddy Buddies to an airtight container for storage or serve them in a decorative bowl for your festive celebration.

These Muddy Buddies with a festive twist are a delightful holiday treat, combining the classic chocolate and peanut butter coating with the cheerful colors of holiday M&M’s. Enjoy!

Pillsbury Sugar Cookie Cheesecake

Ingredients:

2 packages Pillsbury pumpkin sugar cookies (some cookies will be used to top the cheesecake)
1 ¼ cups heavy whipping cream
24 oz cream cheese, softened to room temperature
3 tbsp confectioner’s sugar
¾ cup granulated sugar
¼ cup sour cream
1 ½ tsp lemon juice
2 tsp vanilla extract
2 cups heavy whipping cream
¼ cup granulated sugar
1 tsp vanilla extract

Recipe:

Preheat the oven to 350 degrees F and lightly grease a 9″ springform pan.
Place the Pillsbury Sugar Cookies at the bottom of the greased pan making sure they cover the entire bottom. Feel free to slice the last few in half or quarters to fill in any little spaces of the pan left uncovered.
Bake the cookies in the pan for about 12 minutes or until just golden brown on the edges. Once finished baking, set aside and allow to cool while we prepare the filling.
In a medium sized bowl, use an electric mixer or stand mixer fit with the whisk attachment to whip the heavy cream until it has thickened to a cool whip consistency. This should take about 4-5 minutes. Set aside.
Next, in a large bowl use an electric mixer or a stand mixer fit with the paddle attachment to beat the room temperature cream cheese until smooth.
Once the cream cheese is nice and smooth, add in the confectioner’s sugar, granulated sugar, sour cream, lemon juice, and vanilla. Continue to beat until everything is evenly combined and there are no lumps in the mixture.
Once this mixture is smooth, use a silicone spatula to fold the heavy whipping cream from earlier into the cream cheese mixture. Fold this in until it is just combined and the mixture is evenly incorporated.
Pour the cheesecake filling into the prepared pan with the cookie base and spread it around evenly so that the mixture is evenly distributed and the top is nice and flat.
Allow this to chill in the fridge covered with plastic wrap for at least 3 hours in the fridge or overnight. To speed this process up, you can chill the cheesecake in the freezer for 2 hours.
To make the whipped cream, use an electric mixer or a stand mixer fit with the whisk attachment to whip the heavy whipping cream while slowly adding in the sugar until it reaches the cool whip consistency. Add in the vanilla. Use this to add swirls of whipped cream around the perimeter of the cheesecake then top the cheesecake with additional Pillsbury Pumpkin Sugar Cookies. Enjoy!
