Christmas Treats - The Faithfuls

I am no professional baker but I take pride in the fact that come Christmas I have people waiting to receive one of my world renowned Christmas Baskets. I am currently putting together the list of this years treats. I love finding new goodies to make but there are a few yummies that are basket staples - like I might have a riot on my hands if these treats are not in the basket! Lucky for you I've decided to share them all here with links to the recipes :)
 
 
 
 
 
Lemon Wreaths - They are seriously delish. The cookie is thick and just a little sweet and the icing is lemon goodness!
 
 
Iced Oatmeal Applesauce Cookies - They are Chewy and sweet and just good!
 

Salted Caramel Butter Bars - Or as I like to call them, goodness in your mouth.  I made these for the first time last year. I had some in the baskets and more out for dessert and my friends and family were all coming to me saying the same thing "So are these in my basket and can I have more?"
They are perfect. The End.
 


Peanut Butter Cups - Rich, easy, everyone loves them, what could be better?
 

Chocolate Covered Everything - If you really need a recipe for this I've provided one, but I just use the Candiquik you can purchase at the supermarket. I then proceed to dip everything imaginable in chocolate - pretzels, marshmallows, candy canes, spoons for hot cocoa, anything!
 

Outrageous Chocolate Cookies - If you are baking for a chocolate lover you should def make these yummies! They are chocolate on top of chocolate and super easy!
 
 
Well there ya have it! My Christmas baking faithfuls! Do you have something you bake every year? Leave the recipe or a link to it in the comments! If I get more than 5 recipes from 5 different people I will randomly pick someone to give a FREE pair of earrings!
 
 
Happy Baking!
