Hallie, our elf, has been joining us for almost ten years now! She arrives the day after Thanksgiving and leaves Christmas night…so that means we have enjoyed her company for about 270 days during our “relationship”. That is a lot of time to be creative and come up with fun and new ideas – at least ideas that are new to our own family.

Elf Treats Left For Us

One of the things that Miss Sarah had reacted to the most over the years, was when we made an “elf” recipe together and left the treat for Hallie.. . or when she, has made recipes for us. She has left us mini pancakes for breakfast – perfectly elf sized!

Miss Sarah has also woken up to find that her elf has been busy all night making her special cookies…

Hmmm, I think I understand now why Miss Sarah doesn’t really like Peanut Blossoms anymore… weird!

Now, we have also made Elf inspired recipes, for both littles and adults alike. Various Moonshine drinks or fun munchables have all been a tasty, and yet festive treat. We have done a quick round up  for you of our favorites, from both us and a few of our friends.
