‘Tis the season to eat your weight in chocolate, so what better way to get your sugar-fix than in these delicious festive bakes. From cookies to cupcakes; I’ve put myself through the arduous *ahem* job of testing as many sweet treats as I could lay my hands on (for the record, that turns out to be a lot). So turn on the Christmas tunes, grab yourself a wooden spoon and try not to eat all the mix before it makes it to the oven. Here are the best festive Christmas baking recipes.
