Hi kids! The holidays are coming up in a few months and I always going into a baking frenzy! I love the holidays :) I always have a hard time deciding what to bake because there are so many yummy treats out there. After reading this post by Sage I decided that I wanted YOU, my dear bloggie friends, to help me choose some of the treats I'll bake this holiday season! I'm planning on making two different kinds of truffles and then I thought you can help me narrow this list down from 16 ideas to 4 :) So I printed out her bracket and made my own list. I know my handwriting isn't as nice as hers but oh well :D
This is where YOU come in. Please leave a comment on this post choosing one treat from each pair (so you'll have 8 choices in one comment). The choice from each bracket that has the most votes will move on to the next vote. We'll go through two votes to narrow down to four tasty treats. You have until midnight on Sunday, October 23 to vote. Please note that you are voting between the two items that have been paired up (which were done in no particular order, only how they popped into my head). I know some pairings are difficult but oh well :) Oh and ps, there is one on here that I definitely plan on making whether you choose it or not but I'm curious to see if you choose it. Thanks for your help in advance!
Since this is MoFo and a food blog I have to post SOME food pics, no? So for some voting inspiration I'll post the gorgeous treats I baked last holiday season!
Candy Cane Cookies n Cream Chocolate Bark!
S'mores Bark!
Espresso Chocolate Chip Cookies
Carrot Chewies. YUM!
Cranberry White Chocolate Chip Biscotti. These are phenomenal.
Thanks again for the help and I hope you have fun with it! I'll post the narrowed down choices next week! Yay for Friday tomorrow!
What a good idea! They all sound so yummy- this is harder than it looks...

Haha, I feel similar to Ingrid, but this is awesome! I love Sage's bracket idea. It could either help me be more decisive...or just sit around drawing a lot of brackets.

Well, after seeing the other comments, I realized I totally did not understand the rules of the game. Good thing I didn't answer first, it would've been very embarrassing.
