I made you some printable Christmas gift tags again this year! And incase you're looking for more, here are some form 2016, 2015, and 2014!! Can't believe I've been making them for that many years!
I'm really hoping to pop out some more posts before the year end but we'll see...these two little ones keep me very busy! Happy wrapping :)
XO!
PS. I don't know why but the colours are MUCH brighter above than the actual document. It's more of a muted red, sage green and grey-blue.

I absolutely love wrapping presents...it makes me miss the days I used to work fragrance wrapping perfume bottle after perfume bottle. Call me cheese but I always loved the fact that I was part of making someone's Christmas special...lols

OREO + PEPPERMINT OREO TRUFFLES
A couple of weeks ago I hosted a holiday baking exchange with a few friends and I made these delicious oreo truffles! (I'm embarrassed to say that ALL of the treats we made and received are now gone...#sugaraddict)
To add some variety, I made two batches. The first batch was covered with milk chocolate and oreo crumbs and the second batch had peppermint filling inside covered with white chocolate and crushed candy cane! They were both sooo good but my preference was chocolate all the way.

They didn't take crazy long but melting chocolate and dipping the truffles does take some time! Thankfully I had James to help me with that task!
Bring these to share at a holiday party and everyone will just love you.
OREO TRUFFLES
*Makes about three dozen truffles
Ingredients:
- 40 oreos
- 1lb (453 grams) of good chocolate. I used Bernard Callebaut from Thriftys in the baking aisle.
If you're doing both flavours and don't want to double to recipe, purchase 1/2 pound of white and 1/2 pound of milk chocolate. - 1 package of cream cheese, softened
- Peppermint extract
- Crushed Candy Cane
Directions:
- Line two cookie sheets with wax paper and set aside.
- Crush 36 of the 40 oreos in a food processor OR in a freezer size ziploc bag until the oreos are fine crumbs.
- In an upright mixer (or by a large mixing bowl) mix crushed oreos and cream cheese until completely mixed. If you're making the peppermint version add 1.5tsp in at this point and mix in.
- Scoop about 1tbsp out and roll into a ball then place on cookie sheet.
- Place truffles in the freezer for about 15 minutes
- Crush remaining 4 oreos or candy cane aka whatever you want the topping to be.
- Melt chocolate. I don't have a double broiler so I melted in the microwave and they turned out great.
- Dip truffle in melted chocolate then place on baking sheet. Immediately sprinkle topping on truffle.
- Place in the fridge until ready to eat!
- Enjoy!!
Happy baking!

PRINTABLE DECEMBER CALENDAR
Weeeee December is finally almost here! Our tree is up, our stockings are hung and I've already been to Butcharts to see the Christmas lights. Luca even met Santa and DIDN'T CRY! It was the cutest thing ever.

I'm so ready to SOAK all the Christmas things in this year. Yesterday on instagram I posted how this is my first time since I was 16 that I haven't worked at Christmas time. It feels bizarre and wonderful at the same time. Usually I'm all hustle and bustle and don't rest until December 25th and then I'm back working the boxing day skate on the 26th. This year I can just reeeeelllllaaaax, which I'm pretty excited about doing.
Our church released a Christmas album and it is AMAZING! It's been on repeat for days now...I love it so much that I bought a few extra that I plan to give away on instagram tomorrow so make sure you're following me :)

Well I had so much fun making those ones (and because I have a serious love affair with nice Christmas wrap and thinks everyone should have access to cute gift tags for free) that I decided to do it again.
5 new ones and one repeat of MERRY CHRISTMAS YA FILTHY ANIMAL because everybody deserves a little more Home Alone in their lives.
All you need to do is download the gift tags below, find yourself a colour printer and then attach them to all the prezzies you're giving away!
