Christmas Cocktails & Dessert

Happy Wednesday friends!

Last week we did a fun event for our community and I wanted to share some of it with you! Inspire you for any parties or events you have coming up this holiday season!

We did Christmas Cocktails including hot chocolate, eggnog, and champagne . We had an assortment of things people could spike their drinks with as well as hot chocolate toppings, garnish and all the fun, festive things! We also of course had desserts to go with the fun drinks!

You can check out a reel I did of the whole set up over on my Instagram!

Happy Holidays!

Did Someone Say...Dessert?

Did someone say dessert? Yes! With October leading us into the holiday season I wanted to feature some of my favorite go to desserts that are simple and tasty for any occasion. We all know that once we hit Halloween we blink then it's Christmas, which means all kinds of get togethers and parties. My mother taught me to never show up to an event empty handed, so here are some simple yummy treats to bring to your next party or event! These recipes are super easy and major crowd pleasers, whether you have a party to attend or a night in watching movies these treats are great for literally any occasion! 


Caramel Cheesecake Dip with Apples (GF)

Ingredients: 

1  8 oz block of cream cheese

1  16 oz tub of old fashioned caramel dip

1  bag of heath bar bits 

2 bags of sliced apples 

Directions:

All you need to do is put the cream cheese in the middle of a serving platter to start. Then pour a good amount of the caramel dip on top of the cream cheese, enough to cover it. Next top the caramel dip with the heath bar bits. Finally places all the apple slices around the cheesecake dip! This is a great dessert and is awesome for any gluten free guest that might be attending the party as well!
