Christmas goodies

To get ready for the holidays and have some yummy treats to grace friends and family with, I spent today baking.  Of course I had to wear my fun and lovely apron.  If you look in the background you can see my cute little hootie owl towel that matched my hootie owl pillow that was destroyed...



First up was the cuppy cakes!  Mini ones to be exact.  I have found that people are more likely to eat the mini cupcakes than they are to eat the regular sized ones.  Leaving me with fewer left overs and less junk in my trunk due to cupcake overload.




I made chocolate cupcakes with cream cheese icing topped with heath bar pieces or Andes mint pieces.  They are going to be tasty!



Next I made some oreo balls.  These are like manna from Heaven, no lie... and ridiculously easy to make!  A little on the messy side, but sooo worth it!



They are absolutely hideous, but oh so yummy.  Sadly enough, the ones I'm posting are the pretty ones.... whoops.  Maybe next time they will be prettier.



Then it was time for the holiday mice.  Yes, I know they look creepy with their red eyes.  But I still love them.  I think they are absolutely adorable and always a huge crowd pleaser.  And who doesn't love chocolate covered cherries, srsly.





I didn't have time for cookies, so hopefully I can make those for the Christmas Eve party.  I had a blast today, making some goodies and jamming out to Christmas tunes.  Now I'm off to a party, and I'm taking some yummies with me.  Let's hope they are a big hit!

Have a great evening!
