happy saturday to all! so i have been lucky enough to know the she told you so ladies for almost 15 years now (which makes me feel old). i started a cooking blog this year and feel like they have been some of my biggest supporters. when they asked me to do a guest blog post, i couldn't have jumped on it faster!
december has always been my favorite time of year. i was born on christmas day (i was due in february - imagine my parent's surprise!) so it's an especially important time for me. it's also the time of year when the food is the best - time to eat sweet treats while sitting around a fire in your pajamas. to maximize stretchy pants time, here are a few extremely fast but insanely delicious treats that will be sure to impress your taste buds as well as anyone around who may be lucky enough to share the holidays with you.

1. melt 1 cup of milk chocolate in the microwave in 30 second intervals

4. spread on top of milk chocolate, and put back in freezer
