Happy New Year! This year was extra fun and extra busy for me, as I started this new website!
I officially started the website in December of last year when I posted four recipes, Peppermint Brownie Cookies, Pecan Snowball Cookies, Peppermint Bark Muddy Buddies, and Chocolate Nut Clusters. But I really started regularly posting here in April.
It’s been so fun for me to post more dessert recipes over here, and especially Christmas themed desserts, but really most of these are treats you can enjoy all year long!
Every year, starting now, at the end of the year I’ll be posting a compilation of the most popular recipes from that year. I hope its fun for you to see what recipes were everyone else’s favorites over here. It’s always fun for me to check and see what you are loving.
I want you all to know that I’m so grateful for any, and every one of you who comes to this site, and is willing to try out my recipes in your kitchen! Every time you leave a comment, share our recipes on pinterest, or make one of these recipes makes me so happy, and I am so appreciative!
Now, onto the list. Here are the most popular recipes on Best Christmas Desserts in 2024.
