Holiday Mixed Nut Brittle
“Crackled, crunchy and totally delicious, a blend of almonds, pecans and hazelnuts make this buttery brittle feel ready for the season. To finish it off, cocoa nibs get sprinkled over top for an extra hit of holiday cheer.”

Toasted Pecan Snowballs
“We’ve amplified the flavours of this beloved cookie by using toasted pecans with a touch of brown sugar for those extra warming notes. And while a single roll in confectioners’ sugar is enough to do the trick, a second roll gives them an even fluffier finish.”

Butterscotch Caramels
“Chewy, creamy caramels are a holiday favourite, and this version brings a butterscotch twist by using a generous splash of whisky. Paired with vanilla bean and just the right amount of salt, they’ll be the star of every festive occasion.”
