holiday baking = great christmas gifts for family & friends
Too many days of work plus endless bottles of Proseco from Trader Joe's and I start to think I'm a baker.
sugar cookies with peppermint frosting
oatmeal raisin cookies
hazelnut chocolate truffles
Chocolate truffles are so much fun to make! All you need is vegan chocolate chips, earth balance and your favorite liquor or flavored Italian syrup. I used hazelnut syrup this time around but next time I'm using rum... Melt the chocolate in a double boiler then blend in earth balance and liquor. I used 1/3 cup but might experiment with more next time. Let cool in fridge - when it's firm enough to work with start rolling in balls. Your hands will be covered in chocolate! I rolled mine in chopped almonds and cocoa powder. It might also be fun to roll them in shaved coconut...

happy new year!
Trader Joe's prosecco is a favorite of mine... have you ever tried it with peach juice?
Your baking looks wonderful.
