Hot Cocoa Mix – Nothing beats a great mug of hot cocoa!

Peppermint Marshmallows – These marshmallows go perfectly with a mug of hot cocoa

Peanut Butter Caramel Corn – Caramel corn makes a great gift. This stuff has just a hint of peanut butter flavor

I am Jen the Beantown Baker. Engineer by day and baking maven by night. Hubby serves as my #1 fan and official taste tester. We got hitched back in 2006. Barefoot. In the sand. With the waves crashing behind us. It was one of the best decisions we’ve ever made. 






i haven’t thought about thanksgiving really, except for ordering a turkey! i don’t normally like it, but this is a stuffing i could totally get behind 🙂

I’m not a fan of stuffing either (technically this is dressing since it’s cooked outside the bird), but this stuff is a meal in itself. We could not stop eating it.
I love every ingredient you used in this stuffing 🙂 it looks amazing and perfect!!!
This stuffing was hands down the best I have ever eaten! I had every intention of watching my diet and portions during Thanksgiving but couldn’t resist a second helping of the stuffing!

Glad you liked it so much 🙂 I completely agree. When Hubby and I first tasted it, we were hooked. I’ll never try another stuffing recipe.
