Cook Up Christmas Magic with these 4 Holiday Squares and Shows-Giveaway #StreamTeam #NetfliXmas

If there’s two things that get me in the holiday spirit, it’s Christmas baking and Christmas movies! We have plenty of favourites of both in this house, so if you’re looking for some new recipes to try and some great Netflix entertainment to watch while you’re baking, here are my top four picks for Holiday Squares and Shows!

1) Chocolate Peanut Butter Squares / The Search for Santa Paws

One of my holiday standbys, I love these squares because they’re so quick to whip up. Simply blend peanut butter, butter, graham crumbs and icing sugar together, press it into a pan and top it with melted chocolate. Then let the chocolate set and enjoy! These squares are an irresistible combination of peanut butter and chocolate that are almost too sweet to handle. And that’s exactly what you’ll get when you watch Disney’s The Search for Santa Paws. Combining puppies and Christmas is sure to put a smile on your face, and watching the adventures of these adorable dogs is one of the sweetest things you’ll experience this Christmas! [Read more…]

Spoil Your Family with Easy Chocolate Peanut Butter Squares

I love Christmas for all kinds of reasons, and Christmas food has always been one of the highlights of the season for me. But with two boys, quick and easy is still the name of the game for most of my Christmas baking, and I’ve collected quite a few recipes that fit that description over the years!

Of course, after years of baking for my boys, they both have a few favourites they request every year. My oldest insists on always having a few batches of No Bake Oatmeal Butterscotch Cookies. And my youngest has long been a fan of my super easy and delicious No Bake Chocolate Peanut Butter Bars!

I’ve been making this recipe for years, and it was one my mother always whipped up for Christmas when I was a child too. Needless to say, No Bake Chocolate Peanut Butter Bars are a must for our holidays! [Read more…]
