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

December 10, 2015 by Kathryn 118 Comments

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

December 18, 2013 by Kathryn 47 Comments

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 that’s why I love whipping up recipes from the Kraft What’s Cooking website!

I always find ideas for fast and delicious dishes on the site, but when new recipes for Christmas cakes, cookies and candy start appearing, I always feel like Christmas has truly arrived!

In fact, one of my favourite holiday recipes is one that is available on the Kraft Canada website. I’ve been making it for years and it was one my mother always whipped up for Christmas when I was a child too. No Bake Chocolate Peanut Butter Bars are a must for our holidays!

My recipe has some slight variations, mainly in the preparation method since I tend to favour the hands-on experience of stove-top cooking most of the time. But the microwave method is also a great choice for these quick and easy treats!
