Overview

The holidays are a time for feasting on loads of delicious foods and then following it up with some sugary treats. Desserts also make greats gift for friends and neighbors on your list, as well as fantastic decorations and stocking stuffers. Most families have at least one cherished recipe to make every year.

What's your ideal treat to finish a decadent holiday meal? Whether you've made it for Thanksgiving dinner, or are already prepping for December, now's the perfect time to share your favorites. Sugar cookies, great cakes, trifles, Yule logs, brownies, hard candies... we want to see them all!

If you have the best dessert around, then share it in the Holiday Treats Contest. We're going to be giving away laser-engraved rolling pins and t-shirts to the first prize winners and t-shirts to the runners-up. Also, many of the prizes will be determined by user vote so cook to impress!

So get cooking and baking and make something tasty!
