Quick Christmas Baking
Episode Notes
A note from Stephanie...
I grew up with tiered serving dishes filled with sparkling and colourful treats carried to the dinner table after every Holiday meal.
I am not a big sweet eater myself and I don't have as much time to bake as I used to, but I love the tradition of it - the old recipes, the new, modern twists and it just doesn't seem like Christmas without that amazing smell coming from my oven.
We hope these quick tips and lists help you get your own tray filled this year in no time so you can have more time sitting at the table with your friends and family.

1 pkg devil's food cake mix (regular size)
1/2 cup canola oil
2 large eggs
FILLING:
your favourite pre-made frosting, sweetened, whipped cream cheese or ice cream
DIRECTIONS
In a large bowl, combine the cake mix, oil and eggs until well blended. Roll into 3/4" balls. Place 1.5-2" apart on parchment-lined baking sheets. Do not flatten.
Bake at 350° for 8 minutes or until set. Cool for 5 minutes before removing to wire racks.

Bourbon Pecan Snowballs
Makes: 20 snowballs
2 cups ladyfingers, coarsely chopped
1/4 cup bourbon
1 cup toasted pecans, chopped
3 tbsp butter, softened
6 oz white chocolate, chopped
White Or Clear Sanding Sugar To Coat
DIRECTIONS
1. Place ladyfingers in a large mixing bowl sprinkle with bourbon and toss to evenly distribute liquor. Add pecans and butter and mix until no streaks of butter remain.
2. Place chocolate in a separate heat proof bowl and set over a pot of gently simmering water; stir until chocolate is melted. Scrape into ladyfinger mixture, and stir to combine. Chill mixture in refrigerator for 1 hour, or until firm but not crumbly.
3. Working with 1 tbsp at a time, roll into a ball using the palms of your hands. Immediately roll each ball in sanding sugar to coat if serving that day.
