Setting the jello on an angle is key to making this dessert look stunning! We do this by placing the dessert glass into a muffin tin and leaning it against a dish towel. Be sure to clear some room in the fridge in advance so you can transfer the tray easily. Once the jello is set and the custard has been added, finish with a delightful cherry and slice of lime on top.

There are so many tried and true recipes that are an annual must make. But every year we try a couple new recipes and this year we picked Natural Peanut Butter Snowballs to try out. In our homes we use natural peanut butter, so we used that to make these treats – and it worked perfectly – which gave us the natural title. They could really be considered more of a candy than baking really, but that doesn’t make them any less fun or tasty! The result? Amazing! A contender to be added to the yearly bake list.

What you’ll need:

• Powered sugar
• All natural peanut butter (we used one that has honey mixed in which worked perfectly!)
• Butter, melted
• Graham cracker crumbs
• Honey
• Salt
• White chocolate or dark chocolate, melted
• Grapeseed oil
• Sprinkles
• Parchment or wax paper
• Mixer

Natural Peanut Butter Snowballs

Line a baking sheet with parchment or wax paper.

In a mixing bowl combine powdered sugar, natural peanut butter, melted butter graham crackers crumbs, honey, and salt. Mix until smooth and thoroughly combined.

Use a tablespoon and your hands to form the dough into balls and place them onto the prepared baking sheet.

In a medium bowl, mix together melted chocolate and oil, stirring until smooth.

Working fairly quickly, use two forks to dip the peanut butter balls in the chocolate, turning until fully covered. Drip excess back into the bowl and then transfer back onto the baking sheet.

Top with sprinkles as you go. Decorating as you work will allow for the sprinkles to stick to the chocolate before it begins to harden.

Place the baking sheet in the refrigerator for 20 minutes until the chocolate is fully set.

Is a white chocolate brownie the same as a blondie, you ask? Nope. Blondies don’t have white chocolate as the base. Making white chocolate brownies is pretty much the same as baking a batch of chocolate brownies. It’s a delicious experiment to get the chewiest texture and the sweetest flavour. Let’s get baking!

What you’ll need:

• Recipe ingredients
• Mixing bowl
• Parchment paper
• Baking pan
• Spoon or spatula

Melt the chocolate and butter together in a saucepan over low heat. Be sure to stir constantly so the chocolate doesn’t melt.

Add the sugar, eggs and almond extract to the melted butter mix and combine well.

Gradually sift in the dry ingredients and mix until smooth.

Add some red sprinkles, bake, cool and enjoy!
