In addition, this year I'm making:
Pretzel Bark
Nutmallow
Chocolate Covered Oreos
I am doing:
gingerbread whoopie pies
mini loaves of pumpkin or zuchinni bread
maybe peppermint bark

Blog
brownie cupcakes
hot chocolate pods - traditional, pumpkin spice, and peppermint white chocolate
apple cider pods

Blog
I make:
-oreo truffles
-chocolate drizzled hazelnut biscotti
-chocolate dipped graham crackers (the super thick yummy ones from Trader Joes)
-Chocolate hugged pretzels (easiest idea ever - mini pretzel twists - lay out on a sheet pan, put an unwrapped hershey's hug on top of each, and put in the oven for about 3 minutes.... then use an m and m to smush down the hug and freeze the tray 'til the chocolate resets)

I've already been baking for about a week - only a few days to go, but here's what I've done and will be doing:
Double Chocolate Biscotti
Cinnamon Biscotti
Peanut Brittle (in the microwave - so easy!)
Oreo Truffles
Molasses Sugar Cookies (an easy alternative to gingerbread)
Russian Tea Cookies
Pecan Pie Bars
I love holiday baking (and the tins from the Dollar Store)!
