We all love to indulge in sinful holiday treats. The top five all-time favorite holiday desserts are as followed:

1. Gingerbread

Gingerbread Houses for your Gingerbread men. This is a perfect family tradition I had as a kid and a even more perfect one to start with yours. The perfect combination of ginger, nutmeg, cloves, and cinnamon to form an aroma that will stay in your mind all year. It's a scent that always brings me home no matter where I am.

2. Icebox Fruit Cake

This is an annual tradition in my family and this cake can last though the apocalypse. Its chewy with freeze dried nuts and fruit and its a great way for the elderly to show off their "cooking skills".

3. Sugar Cookies

This was always one of my favorite holiday pastimes; making about ten batches of sugar cookies and decorating them with colorful frosting and sprinkles and leaving a plate of them on my fireplace with a glass of cold milk for Santa.

4. Peppermint Bark

This is a great treat for holiday parties and events. It's a great blend of white and dark chocolate with pieces of peppermint throughout the candy. It's super easy to make and even easier to enjoy!

5. Candy Canes

These are great for all ages and aren't just for Christmas. I always manage to find at least two a couple months after the holiday season. These also have a great meaning to the shape and concept of the Candy Cane.
