21. Spice French Hot Chocolate
I started taking French in fifth grade, and I’m fairly certain it was right around that same time I first heard tales of le chocolat chaud from my French teacher. Hyped as a thick, decadent mug of melted chocolate, it was when I was sixteen and sitting at a little café in Paris that I first truly understood those tales.

16. Grape-Nuts® Pudding with Cinnamon Whipped Cream
Now that school is back in session, my kids have had a lot less time to play their beloved video games and use their tablets. While we try to limit electronic usage, we do set time limits for our kids to enjoy their game like Super Mario. Like myself, my kids love Super Mario games and find them so engaging, and fun!

10. Vermont Maple Pots de Creme
Springtime is egg time on our homestead. The ladies are laying daily, and we can hardly keep up. At the start of April we’ve just finished making maple syrup, so why not combine two Vermont spring treats?
9. Pepperkakker (Norwegian Gingerbread)
Warmly spiced Norwegian Pepperkakker has been a scandanavian christmas tradition for hundreds of years, and it still plays an important role in holiday celebrations. This distinctive gingerbread cookie is formed into a variety of shapes, including gingerbread people and full Pepperkakker houses.
8. Midnight Marshmallow Pops
Here’s something the kids will definitely enjoy eating and making.
Looking at it, you’ll think it requires baking expertise, but on the contrary, you need not even go near the oven.
Marshmallows are dipped in melted white chocolate and spritz with shiny silver food coloring mist. I can’t even begin to express how gorgeous they look!
Dressed up with stunning silver dragees and an easy-to-make edible clock, these marshmallows will definitely steal the show.
7. Butter Pecan Cake for Cold Winter
Pecans are a classic holiday treat, and mixed into this cake; they’re extra buttery and flavorful.
They’ll tell you to toast your nuts in many recipes before adding them to the mix. This helps to release the oils and enhance the taste.
In this case, you’ll chop the pecans and sauté them in butter for an extra boost of richness.
6. French Caramel Apple Cake – Easy Winter Dessert Recipe!
How amazing does this cake look? It’s golden, sticky-sweet, loaded with fruit, and impossible to resist.
The best part is that you’ll make the caramel in the microwave, and the cake batter doesn’t need a mixer.
You won’t even need to peel the apples for this recipe.
Since you’ll bake the apples and cake batter on top of the caramel, it will bubble and thicken in the bottom of the pan.
For the best finish, let the cake cool for around ten minutes before turning it out onto a rack to cool.
Any longer, and it will stick in the pan and break apart.
5. Easy Mandarin Cake with Dark Chocolate Chips
It can’t just be my family that goes nuts over mandarins during the holidays, right?
They seem to be in every store, and I can’t leave without buying at least one bag.
An excellent way to use them up is to make this light and airy mandarin cake.
The batter incorporates mandarin juice and slices, so the flavor is nice and robust.
I like to add cranberries and dark chocolate chips to mine for a little extra boost of yumminess.
4. Sticky Toffee Cake is Easy to Prepare
Having eaten my fair share of sticky toffee puddings, I have to admit that I was a little bit wary of this recipe.
Sticky toffee pudding is usually served hot with plenty of toffee sauce and custard.
But this recipe nails it!
Not only is the cake spot on thanks to the inclusion of dates, dark brown sugar, and black treacle (you can use blackstrap molasses as a substitute), but the frosting is made using the sticky toffee sauce for maximum pudding flavors.
3. Hot Chocolate Cake Recipe – Easy Winter Dessert
This might look like a standard chocolate cake, but it actually has a cup of hot chocolate right in the cake batter.
Use whichever hot chocolate you prefer, whether that’s from a packet made from scratch. Just be sure it’s hot when it goes in.
For an even more pronounced flavor, try this hot chocolate frosting and top with mini-marshmallows.
2. Snowball Recipe – Amaretto Liqueur and Vanilla Ice Cream Cocktail
I had to throw in a cocktail!
I’ve been dreaming of my next vacation since the start of the year, and with nothing on the horizon, can you blame me for trying to make it happen at home?
Amaretto is a sweet liquor that has an almond undertone that pairs so well with vanilla ice cream. It’s simple but so, so good.
Don’t worry; I’ll leave one for Santa!
1. Perfect Chocolate Fondue – Best Winter Dessert Recipe
Any party that serves chocolate fondue is a certified hit. I have yet to meet a person who doesn’t delight in this magnificent treat!
After all, how can anyone say no to smooth, silky melted chocolate? And don’t worry, you won’t need a fondue fountain to make this work.
The fondue may be the star, but it’s not complete without the goodies for dipping.
The sky’s the limit, here! Wafers, cookies, pretzel sticks, fresh fruit, marshmallows – anything goes.
