These chewy treats have a cookie base and a caramel topping full of hazelnuts and candied orange. Half of each square is dipped in dark chocolate. Gooey goodness. You can order a dozen squares for $8 and expect them to be eaten quickly!

Chocolate Almond and Raspberry Tart
Everyone has different preferences when it comes to food and desserts. I'm no exception. There are things that I like and others that I love. This tart definitely falls under the latter. I LOVE the combination of chocolate with raspberries. Quite frankly, the almonds in this case don't hurt either. This tart is a has a crunchy chocolate base, a surprising almond layer in the middle and a smooth chocolate ganache blanketing the almond. On top of that is a layer of fresh raspberries that are glazed with raspberry jam and kirsch brandy. The garnish is toasted almond slices. It is a beautiful addition to any holiday event. This 9-inch tart provides 8-10 servings and is available for $38.

These cookies are basically chocolate cookies with chocolate chips and a hint of espresso and peppermint. They have a chocolate topping and are sprinkled with crushed peppermint candy for a festive touch. They're very similar to a brownie in texture. Available for $7 per dozen.

Chocolate-Dipped Dates Stuffed With Spiced Nuts
I love hors-d'oeuvres! If I can combine that with some kind of dessert, then I'm a happy camper.
I've taken salted and roasted almonds and coated them with orange peel, honey, cinnamon and allspice, at which point, they're ready to be stuffed into the dates. These are Medjool Dates, common in Morroco, and commonly considered the "king of dates" or the "crown jewel of dates". They are exceptionally large, sweet and succulent. After being stuffed, each date is coated in bittersweet chocolate and an additional almond (also coated in chocolate) is placed on top of the date. The entire thing gets another sprinkle of orange peel. It's sweet, savory, juicy and crunchy all at once, a perfect holiday snack!
