The holiday season always seems to bring families together and the best way to achieve that is through food. Holiday recipes encourage joy and always leave you with a memory, no matter how good or bad the food turns out. While listening to Christmas music, or opening presents for Hanukkah, baking sweets in between or during is definitely a treat, not a chore. My family has even made some of these recipes as well and we always eat the entire thing. So, I know they’re great. This means that making a list of holiday recipes to try is extremely important to do this holiday season. Here are 2 recipes that are so good Santa himself would recommend them!
A. Strawberry Santa Hat Brownie Bites These brownie bites are the perfect mixture of sweet chocolate and fruit. The Santa decorations make them perfect for the holidays!

Strawberries 4. Optional- white sugar crystals. How to make the Strawberry Brownie Bites:
