How cute are these wreath plates!? Would be so easy to make too! ✨️🎄🤩✨️🎄✨️

Vegetable Wreath Plates 🥒🎄

I started making small plates like this because a lot of people here have expressed their concerns about sharing larger snack boards. I fell in love with the concept. 🥰

🎄✨ Candy Cane Mocha Martini ✨🎄
Get ready to mix, drizzle, and sip into the holidays! This Candy Cane Mocha Martini is rich, minty, and basically Christmas in a glass. This holiday season, I’m shaking things up with a cozy, pepperminty cocktail made extra magical thanks to Melissa's Produce and Mocafe USA by Innovative Beverage Concepts (IBC), teaming up to inspire festive creativity in the kitchen (and behind the bar 😉).

I used MOCAFE’s café-style beverage mixes to level up my holiday drink game, and for this one, the Frappe Mix Maui Mocha was the star. I finished it off with Melissa’s Produce Gourmet Chocolate Dessert Sauce for that extra decadent touch.

Recipe: *Makes 2 Martinis*
• 12 oz Ice
• 8 oz Milk
• Vodka- 2 shots
• Kahlúa Peppermint Mocha - 2 shots
• MOCAFE™ Frappe Mix – Maui Mocha
• Crushed Candy Canes to rim glass
• Whipped cream
• Melissa’s Produce Gourmet Chocolate Dessert Sauce to rim glass & garnish
• Red sprinkles

Blend, drizzle, garnish, and enjoy ✨

Sweet, creamy, minty, and totally holiday-approved 🎅🏼☕️

*Make this into a mocktail by just taking out the vodka and Kahlua to make a sweet treat for the kids or anyone looking for a fun festive NA beverage.

Cheers to festive flavors and holiday magic! 🍫🎅🏼

✨️🧀From cheese curds to ice cream, our Wisconsin Dells Wisconsin Dells Visitor & Convention Bureau trip was basically a full-time snacking job… and we took it VERY seriously. 🧀🍔🍩 In just a couple days, we devoured our way through tacos, steak, diner breakfasts straight out of a movie, and desserts that deserve their own fan club. 🍳🍦✨

Whether it was lakeside bites with a view or late-night treats after the waterparks, every stop was worth every calorie (and then some). And the craziest part? We barely scratched the surface, there are SO many more spots we’re dying to try next time. Wisconsin Dells, you fed us well… and we’re already planning round two. 😋🍽️

Here are some of the places featured:

Bella Goose Coffee
Mr. Pancake
Cinco Ninos
Courtyard Cafe
The Del-Bar
Lake House Grill

What would you want to try first in the Wisconsin Dells?😋🥞🍦🥩🧀☕️🥐
