Soft and fudgy chocolate cookies with a deep cocoa flavor and plenty of dark chocolate. They are crispy on the edges, soft in the middle, and get an extra delicious twist with a small sprinkle of sea salt flakes on top.
Rum Balls
Delicious rum balls just like the baker's! In the recipe, I used chocolate cake, cinnamon rolls, donuts, and Berliner (doughnuts). With marzipan, it gives a super delicious texture and taste. I love rum ball mixture, for example, try my recipe for student bread if you also love rum balls!
Puff Pastry Apples
Get into the autumn spirit with these incredibly easy small apple snacks wrapped in delicious puff pastry and cinnamon sugar. The number of strips and slices of apples naturally depends on the size of the apple. The slices of apple can be somewhat thick, so if there are enough for 7 thick slices, simply cut your puff pastry into 14 strips.

Rice porridge is a Danish Christmas tradition, easy to make and tastes fantastic. Here is my recipe for rice porridge, made with whole milk and served with a pat of butter and cinnamon sugar.
