Fruit Cake

   Everyone has their traditions for the holidays, some more strange than others. Making fruit cake is one of these strange traditions. Fruit cake is a commonly disliked dish. The dish is mostly famous for having candied fruits spread throughout the cake. 

    The treat can be traced back to the Roman Empire where it was used to feed the soldiers and it was similar to a protein bar. This dish was also banned briefly in the 1700s for the abundance of sugar used to preserve the fruit. The cake was classified as an overindulgence.

    Biscoff Trifle

    Biscoff trifle is a dessert commonly eaten in the United Kingdom but is commonly enjoyed in the States. It is a dessert made with Biscoff cookies and chocolate pudding, and some people even fill it with bananas and strawberries.

    While the treat may sound hard to make, it’s quite simple. You just put down a layer of chocolate pudding, crushed-up Biscoff cookies, and then the extra filling of your choice.

   Gingerbread Blondies 

   This Christmas treat is a mixture of gingerbread cookies and brownies. This dessert mixes the famous spiced cookies and gooey brownies. A blondie is a brownie with brown sugar replacing the cocoa powder. 

    Gingerbread blondies are a good treat when you don’t want chocolate but you want something festive to eat during the holidays.    

   They can be customized however you would like with sprinkles or frosting.

   Candy Cane Cookies

   Candy cane cookies are a good treat if you love the two, especially together. This can be the perfect treat to enjoy with hot chocolate while reading a book wrapped in a warm blanket on a cold winter day. It’s simple to make since it’s a sugar cookie mixed with crushed candy canes and peppermints. 

   The peppermint candy in these cookies gives the cookies a nice crunch after they have been baked.

Oreo Truffles

    Oreo truffles are a simple but delicious treat to make for the holiday season. All you need to make them are Oreos, cream cheese, and melting chocolates. 

    You can add anything to the top like sprinkles or crushed candy canes. You can also use different kinds of Oreos like their peppermint ones or even the double stuffed Oreos to try something new. 

   Oreo truffles can also be used as cake pops by simply making them and putting a stick in them before covering them in the chocolate. You can then freeze them and decorate them.
