**Giveaway is now closed!! The winner was Kimiko from The Beach Side Baker!**
MERRY CHRISTMAS!! Only 2 more days until the big day! I’m excited. I can’t wait to sit in my pajamas all day long and hang with my family. It’s going to be pretty wonderful. We’ll probably end up watching Miracle on 34th street because after all, it’s like the best movie of all time, and then roasting some chickens, making my famous rustic herb stuffing and then eating these delicious morsels for dessert. (and then breakfast the next day – we are total sweet tooth people!)
These Salted Caramel Chocolate Brownies are pretty much the most decadent dessert I’ve made to date. You only need a little square and it will satisfy your sweet tooth. It would also work perfectly as a sweet option for a NYE party!
