So, I've been tempted by more holiday treats than I thought I'd be able to indulge in this holiday season. I've baked (just 2 things), talked to various individuals and snacked on multiple types of candy.
I learned that Namaste brownies are AWESOME and taste exactly the same. Just in case they were not going to I did add a package of Nestle milk chocolate chips. I took them to our holiday party for MyEdu and they went before I even got one...and no one knew!
As far as cookies I've made the Red Mill Foods chocolate chip cookies (texture was closer to an oatmeal cookie) and one of my fellow DG's told me their brand has good baked goods across the board.
Finally...candy. Candy canes are fine, so is chocolate as long as it doesn't have a filler or crunchy in it (peanut and other nuts are fine). As I said, for Thanksgiving I had a Hershey bar for desert but now I know I can enjoy a Christmas themed candy selection :)
If any of my readers have other suggestions please comment!
