During the holidays, most people tend to steer towards traditional dessert recipes. Pumpkin pie, fudge, gingerbread houses, and sugar cookies are all popular standbys. However, some people like to think outside of the box when it comes to making their delicious holiday treats. Whether you’re the adventurous baker, the chocoholic, or the plain and simple traditionalist, we’ve got dessert recipes for all types of dessert lovers.
So the question is, what type of dessert lover are you?
1. Traditionalists
For you, nothing beats the classics. Keeping up the yearly tradition of baking grandma’s famous cookies is just as important as the taste of the cookies themselves.You feel perfectly comfortable sticking to the basics, and you relish the nostalgia and family bonding time associated with baking. For fans of customary desserts, we recommend indulging in these delicious Walnut Fudge Brownies.
