I cannot believe I started making Christmas desserts already and it’s not even Thanksgiving! I actually blame my brother and sisters because they have been playing Christmas music ALL DAY LONG! I’m just kidding, I actually wanted to start baking Christmas desserts weeks ago, but I thought it was too soon. And since Thanksgiving is less than a week away, I thought why not?
The combination of the candy canes, chocolate cake, and whipped topping is VERY delightful! The peppermint gives a holiday taste, at the same time it’s not very strong because the chocolate cake balances it. I look forward to baking more holiday desserts. If you do make any of my recreation, please #SBholidaybaking!
