Sugar High

I'm beginning to think that there is some magnetic force between me and sugar. It takes me less then a minute to locate the desserts at a party and seconds to fill up a plate. While I know it's not nutritionally "good" for me I can't help but indulge just a little (orrrr a lot sometimes). Between Holiday parties, gifts and irresistible findings, I've been on a sugar high lately, which has inspired me to get busy in the kitchen. Here's a look at some sweet treats I plan on cooking up this weekend. 
 Homemade Peppermint Patties
 Chocolate Coconut Truffles
Chocolate Madeleines 
 Peanut Butter Balls
Chocolate Truffle Tart

So with you on this! Cookies and baked goods are like my main source of food this time of year... impossible for me to resist at parties and around my office!
oh well... like you said, this is the only time of year we can really get away with it!

Ha, I feel the exact same way! I immediately hone in on the desserts at a party, and it takes physical force to remove me from them.

I could absolutely entirely live on sweets. I never crave anything besides them.

These all look wonderful! I have a huge sweet tooth; it's become a well-known fact around our office that I'm the "desserts girl." I've found so many wonderful holiday recipes to try, but I've decided to wait to try them out until next month—when everyone's not so sugared out and when my baking will be more appreciated. :)
