When it comes to holiday baking, there are a few tried and true favourites that my family absolutely can’t live without. Benjamin always requests his favourite No Bake Chocolate Peanut Butter Bars. And Zackary and my husband are both fans of my foolproof Butterscotch Oatmeal No-Bake Cookies.

I am a huge fan of holiday food and while I’ve got a special place in my heart for Christmas sweets and treats of all kinds, I have to admit that as an adult, there’s another type of holiday food that I love even more…appetizers! In fact, our family’s Christmas Eve tradition is to put out big trays of assorted appetizers in the late afternoon and snack on them all night long until bedtime.

But one of my all-time favourite recipes, both because of its ease and its popularity, is this Festive Layered Mexican Dip!

But when it comes to chocolate and cream cheese, there’s just no way that one dessert is enough!

I decided I wanted to create a festive dessert that had gourmet style, but was still quick and easy to prepare. Of course, chocolate cheesecake is a favourite with me so I also wanted to incorporate it in some way. And so my Black Forest Oreo Mini Cheesecakes were created!
