These bite-size brownies have a Rolo candy baked inside. Chocolate Caramel Brownie Cups are easy to make and perfect for holiday gatherings or parties. I'm in charge of the desserts for all of our holiday family gatherings.  I do a combination of new recipes and family favorites, and these are on the must-make list every year! The recipe was originally given to me by a friend via an online message board, and I've been making them for over 10 years. 

  This is the last day of #ChristmasCookies Week and I'm sharing one last find from my Gram's recipe box.  I always hesitate when it comes to rolled out cookies, but the combination of the spices in these just seemed so perfect for the holidays I decided to give them a try. I highly recommend grating the spices fresh if you can.  I have a handheld twist grater that's awesome for this.

I hope you are enjoying Christmas Cookies Week as much as I am! So many great recipes being shared, my holiday baking list is getting bigger by the minute! Another find from Gram's recipe box today, classic checkerboard cookies, but I put a bit of a Christmas spin on them.

  It's the most wonderful time of the year- Christmas Cookies Week! I've got 3 new recipes coming your way, starting with these Cherry Garlands, a treasure I found in my Gram's recipe box.
