They do not last long, so I usually double this recipe so that we can get least a few days out of them!

Oh & if you love coffee, these pair so well with a nice warm cup of coffee while your snuggled up on the couch watching your most favorite Christmas movie. Speaking of favorite Christmas movies, I have quite a few...The Family Stone, Home Alone, The Grinch Stole Christmas, Four christmases...who am I kidding if a movie has anything Christmas in it I am all over that!
