‘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.<\/p>\n

1. Gingerbread house<\/a><\/h2>\n

I’m not going to pretend that these are easy to make. I’ve ended up with many gingerbread construction sites and abandoned ruins in my time, but finally managed a fully-formed cottage with this recipe. Good luck, my friend.<\/p>\n

<\/a><\/p>\n

2. Red wine chocolate cake<\/a><\/h2>\n

Just when I thought chocolate cake couldn’t get any better. Throw in some red wine and you’ve got yourself some out-of-this-world boozy goodness.<\/p>\n

\n

3. Lazy mince pies<\/a><\/h2>\n

It’s not Christmas without mince pies: fact. Skip the homemade mincemeat and pastry and tah-dah:\u00a0 an impressive bake with minimal effort.<\/p>\n

\n

4. Reindeer cupcakes<\/a><\/h2>\n

Pimp up your usual cupcakes with these ad-awww-able reindeer toppers. They’re (almost) too cute to eat.<\/p>\n

<\/a><\/p>\n

\n<\/h6>\n

5. Melting snowman cupcakes<\/a><\/h2>\n

If your decoration skills are poor enough to make Mary Berry blanch, these melting snowman cakes are for you. Fool-proof and super cute, they’re a great pick for novice bakers.<\/p>\n

\n

6. Christmas advent biscuits<\/a><\/h2>\n

As soon as the 1st December hits, the I’m-going-to-stuff-my-face-with-as-much-as-possible season begins. These advent biscuits are no exception; despite the decoration, you’ll have to eat them relatively quickly to stop them going stale (oh, the hardships…).<\/p>\n

\n

7. Melted snowman oreo balls<\/a><\/h2>\n

You’ve heard of oreo brownies, you’ve heard of oreo truffles, but have you ever heard of melted snowman oreo balls? Prepare to be amazed…<\/p>\n

\n

8. No-bake peppermint bark<\/a><\/h2>\n

Okay, so I’m sort of cheating with this one. No baking is required to make this peppermint bark, but it’s so damn good I simply had to include it. You can thank me later.<\/p>\n

<\/a><\/p>\n

\n<\/h6>\n

9. Stem ginger cake<\/a><\/h2>\n

Move aside McVities, there’s a new ginger cake in town. Packed with pieces of stem ginger, this rather fancy recipe has been a firm favourite in my family for many Christmases gone by.<\/p>\n

\n

10. Peppermint creams<\/a><\/h2>\n

Short of cash? Only four ingredients are needed to make this budget-friendly, no-bake recipe.<\/p>\n
