We’re winding down here folks on the 12 Days of Christmas – It’s only a week away?! How did this happen? We don’t even have our tree decorated yet. It’s up, sure. Lit? Yes. Decorated, nope. It’s a combination of lazy, busy, exhausted, “sure, its pretty with just lights on it” and “we’re not even going to be home for Christmas, what’s the point?”.

I’ll do it tomorrow. Probably.

That is if I don’t get roped into making another batch of these. Sure, I shared these with Ben. Somewhat unwillingly. They were so amazing, soft and the ooey gooey middle? Don’t even get me started here on the fluff filled insanity. Bar. Raised.

I never would have guessed how easy whoppie pies were to make. Seriously – so easy, and cakey. Egg nog flavored cake for the holiday win. It’s everything that holiday treats are all about.

And for the 11th day of Christmas I want to giveaway a fun and fancy Cuisinart Stick Blender to easy your holiday burden. Did you know you can make whipped cream with this thing? My mom enlightened me to this and it’s a life changer. Now, I have one for you!

Giveaway is now closed!!

The winner is ANNA B.!!
