“I make this every Christmas and literally have to make it in the dead of the night… then hide it from my own family.”
I’m not even exaggerating. This recipe has reached legendary status in our house. The kind of treat people start asking about weeks before Christmas, casually dropping hints like, “So… you’re still making THAT again this year, right?”
The first year I made it, I thought it would last a few days. It didn’t even survive the night. By morning, half the pan was mysteriously gone. The second year, I doubled the batch—same result. Now? I wait until everyone is asleep, make it quietly, let it cool, and hide it like it’s a priceless artifact. 😂
And honestly, I get it. This recipe is everything you want during the holidays: rich, comforting, indulgent, and packed with that cozy Christmas flavor that instantly brings people into the kitchen “just to look.” It’s the kind of dessert that makes guests hover, kids sneak bites, and adults pretend they don’t want seconds… and then go back for thirds.
What I love most is that it’s simple, no fancy ingredients, no complicated steps—but the result tastes like something you’d find at a holiday bakery. It’s perfect for Christmas parties, cookie trays, gift boxes, or those quiet moments late at night when you just want a slice and a cup of coffee.
Every single year, someone asks for the recipe. Every single year, someone tells me, “This is my favorite thing you make.” And every year, I laugh because I know I’ll be making it again—probably after midnight—just to make sure there’s some left for Christmas Day.
If you’re looking for one guaranteed hit to add to your holiday baking list, this is it. Fair warning though: once you make it, it becomes a tradition. You’ll be asked for it forever.
