We are in the “less than a week before Christmas” frenzy, which can cause crazy stress as you try to figure out what to get a particular friend or loved one.

Easy Cashew Bark

I bought some Christmas themed coffee mugs that I plan to fill with cashew bark and wrap with pretty cellophane for the kids to give as teacher gifts.

Mexican Cocoa Fudge

A delightful combination of dark chocolate and cinnamon with just a tiny bite to it from cayenne pepper!
