#1) This Cocoa is Da' Bomb
It's no surprise that Cocoa Bombs have taken over your newsfeed. They're great, easy-to-make winter gifts that will actually get used! And whether you're a purist, and prefer your bombs round, or looking for something a little different, we've got everything you need! There are a couple types of molds. Pick a mold, pick some chocolate and fill those suckers with whatever you want!
Let's Start With One Part Molds:
It's simple. Fill the molds and dump out the warm chocolate or coating, then scrape along the top edge of the mold for a clean edge. Refrigerate the two halves, pop them out of the mold, then fill one half with cocoa, sprinkles, marshmallows, crushed peppermint candies, whatever your little heart desires. Heat the edge of the empty half, by placing it briefly on a warm cake pan or cookie sheet, and attach it to the filled half. Any of the half-sphere molds below will work this way. Or, if you prefer a more unique shape, try the Pinecone, Pumpkin, Mini Gingerbread House, Snowflake, Santa Hat or Igloo Mold. For these flat-bottomed shapes, simply fill the mold, dump out the chocolate to form a hollow shell. Scrape off any excess chocolate above the edge of the mold. Spread the dumped chocolate evenly over a piece of parchment, and use a cookie cutter to cut discs (or in the case of the gingerbread houses, squares) the size of the mold opening. Chill these as well. Fill the hollow shells with cocoa ingredients while still in the mold, then cap the opening with one of the chocolate discs using a bit of melted chocolate. Refrigerate until set up again, and unmold. Watch our friend and decorating guru Dawn at Dinkydoodle Designs make a pine cone shaped cocoa bomb with a surprise :)

But, 3 Part Molds are AWESOME for Cocoa Bombs:
They're so simple to use! Fill the bottom mould to the fill line with tempered chocolate or melted Chocolate Coating, place the liner in each mould cavity, and gently press the top mould into the bottom. The chocolate fills the mould perfectly. Most of these moulds create two halves that can be attached together to make 3D pieces, or just fill the hollow shell with ganache, cookie dough, or mousse, and cap the back for a flat-bottomed half mould. Either way, there's no filling, dumping, scraping mess. Just perfect shells! Magic! Here's a quick vid to show you how these work. This was ECG Minion, Jenna's first try using these molds, and they came out flawlessly!!

#2) Cookie Advent Calendar Kits & Platter Cutters
We're loving these two trends in Holiday Cookie Gifting! And we've got the perfect tools to make them easy!
Let's start with the Cookie Platter. If you're a teensy bit Type A, like the ECG you'll feel all tingly when you look at this perfectly coordinated treat tableau.
This amazing set by Bikkie Smalls makes these a (ginger)snap to make! Check it out in action!
Now check out these little Cookie Cutter and Embosser sets by Little Biskut! They're the perfect way to make unique Advent Calendars, just look at this little pink lovely by Baked by Pam. If you have a Baking Business, this is going to be a great Holiday seller year after year! If you don't, your family and friends will love this. It's also a GREAT project to do with the kids! Simply cut out the cookie tiles, and emboss Chocolate Paste or Fondant to make these adorable gifts. Even easier, simply emboss any non-rising shortbread dough, and you don't even need to frost them!
The ECG is planning to google her favorite non rising doggy cookie recipe and do simple embossed dog treats this year. Her favorite good bois and gurls will be SO waggy!
Here's both sets

#3) Holiday Icing Sheets
This buttercream cake features one of our favorite Winter Icing Sheets, making it easy, delicious, and so quick to make, that you'll have time to catch up on your Hallmark Christmas Movies (spoiler alert: the hard-nosed businesswoman falls in love with the small-town tree farmer.)
This cake was decorated start-to-finish in about 15 minutes! Just like all of our printed icing sheets, they are completely edible and stick right onto fresh buttercream (or melted chocolate coating for Holiday Barks).
Watch the ECG make this little lovely:

#4) Fancy Oreos - Time to Deck the Oreos!
It's time to bring out the ugly sweaters and make merry! Here's a fabbo make-ahead treat to have on hand for last minute gatherings, carollings, wassailings, or whatever-ings that pop up on your Holiday calendar. The ECG whips up massive amounts of these in late November so she's always ready to spread a little cheer by way of chocolate. They last for months at room temperature, and everybody loves them.
This process is stupidly simple...just pop the cookie icing sheet face-down into the bottom of the chocolate covered Oreo mold, melt some chocolate coating (candy melts) and fill the mold to around 1/4" thick. Press a cookie into the mold, then fill the rest of the mold with more coating. Throw the mold in the fridge for about 20 minutes, and pop them out. **TIP** If your coating is too thick, you can stir in some Paramount Crystals to thin it down to a beautiful working-consistency. Read more about these here!
Watch how easy it is!
It's really that simple! And with our cookie Icing sheets PRE-CUT to perfect 2" circles, you can make them faster than an elf on a Venti Americano with an extra shot!

#6) Peppermint Bon Bon Brownies
Holiday Baking Hack!! Okay, let's get real...the Holidays get stressful...between shopping, shipping, shoveling, shaking pine needles out of everything you own and sharing how deliriously happy you area about all of the above on Social Media, something's gotta give. And when youngest-child forgets to tell you that you need to provide treats for entire cast of the Rudolph Review until 9 pm the night before (while you're prying a half-eaten Olaf-the-Snowman ornament out of the dog's mouth) don't sh-weat it. We got you.
This quickie hack works with Boxed Brownie Mix, doctored with some of our delicious Peppermint Candy Puff, and Grocery Store Icing. And you're not gonna' tell ANYONE that. Nope, you're just gonna' fricken' WIN Christmas.
Watch how easy it is!
Be proactive. Order yourself a stash of our amazeballs printed icing sheets now. You'll have them on hand, and when this happens, you'll knock it out of the park.
Here's everything you need (except the brownie mix), but you could make Peppermint Bon Bon Chocolate Cake with our Amazeballs Ultimate Chocolate Cake Mix or whip up a little Red Velvet Cake with our Universal Cake Mix (recipe page here) so we'll add that to the list. NOTE: since we shot this video we have replaced the peppermint puff with Clasen's mini mint chips. They bake up better.

#7) Fancy Chocolate Bark
This Christmas Gifting Standard has never been easier, now that Mercken's and Clasen's have developed Chocolate Coating that requires NO TEMPERING, and still has the rich texture and taste of a fine chocolate. Melt it in the microwave, mix in nuts, crushed candy canes, dried fruit, whatever gourmet option you like, spread it on parchment, then break it up. Simple. But skip the parchment, and replace it with one of our gorgeous Chocolate Transfer Sheets, and you've just WON THE HOLIDAYS!!!
Super Easy and Impressive Peppermint Bark!
Seriously....simple and Squeeee-worthy!
But hold on to your Elf Hats! We just discovered that our Printed Icing Sheets ALSO work beautifully with chocolates and coatings to make ultra-detailed barks! Check out the video of this technique HERE

#9) Layered Chocolate Mints
These impressive-looking treats make beautiful gifts and stocking stuffers, and with our great selection of Holiday Cookie Icing Sheets, there's a style for everyone on your list.
This process is stupidly simple...just pop the cookie icing sheet face-down into the bottom of our chocolate covered Oreo mold, melt some white chocolate coating (candy melts) and fill the mold to around 1/4" thick and throw the mold in the fridge for about 5 minutes. Meanwhile, melt some Clasen's Mint Chip Chips and add melted Paramount Crystals to thin it down to a workable consistency. Add a 1/4" layer of this to the mold and return it to the fridge. Melt your final layer of coating (milk or dark chocolate) and fill the rest of the space in the mold. Refrigerate again, then pop them out.
Watch how easy it is!

#10) Igloo Cakes
Whether you make these with cake, ice cream, or mousse, one thing is certain...these could very-well be the cutest thing you'll ever eat.
The Igloo mold works as both a cake pan, and mold, so you can bake the cakes into the perfect shape to fill the chocolate shells. The ECG chose to use her Ultimate Chocolate Cake Mix and Peppermint Chocolate Mousse, but you can fill the chocolate shells with Ice cream for a dessert worthy of the Bumble himself!

#11) Vintage Gingerbread Book Cookies
As many of you already know, the ECG has a love/hate relationship with decorating cookies. She loves to make beautiful little works of art, but hates watching all that work disappear before her eyes in a few unceremonious bites. So to keep her from turning to violent upon watching someone snorf up one of her cookie creations, she decided to create more efficient ways of decorating. It started with stencils, moved into our amazeballs Stay Put Stencils, and now into Printed Icing Sheets.
These bad boys attach to buttercream or whipped royal icing on contact, and create cookies that look like you slaved over them for hours, but psych! They're so fast and easy, that you can watch someone devour a dozen of them without a single twinge of resentment. And that, my friends (along with spiking the in-laws hot cider) is key to a Happy Holiday.
Whether you're using our pre-cut round designs to make mini merriness, or full sheet designs cut to size, you're gonna' win at Christmas this year. Just check out how easy it is to make rectangles of gingerbread into charming little books!
Watch how easy it is!

#12) Gnoel Gnome Cupcakes
Let's go Gnome For The Holidays! There are 3 things that render the ECG helpless...doggies, goofy gnomes, and a gnood play on words. This Holiday Treat Idea addresses 2 out of 3 of these, so she'll give them a gnood review.
This process is stupidly simple...just pop the cookie icing sheet into the bottom of the chocolate covered Oreo mold, melt some white chocolate coating (candy melts) and fill the mold to around 1/8" to 1/4" thick. Throw the mold in the fridge for about 15 minutes, and pop them out. Don't forget to chuck an Oreo in one of them for yourself while you're at it. A girl's gotta' eat, right? Or blow their minds by topping each cupcake with a chocolate-covered Oreo!
Watch how easy it is!
While the toppers are setting up in the fridge, you can frost the cupcakes (the ECG used her go-to Sultan Tip, seein' as it frosts a cupcake with one squeeze) our Glitzy as Hell Edible Glitter, and those amazeballs Christmas Pearl Sprinkles.
