There are so many wonderful things about the holiday season – spending time with loved ones, enjoying the festive decorations, and of course eating all of the delicious holiday treats! We recently asked ACCESS PT staff to submit their most-loved holiday recipes, and we weren’t disappointed! Here are our three favorites:

Bourbon Sweet Potato Casserole with Sweet ‘n’ Savory Bacon Pecans

Submitted by: Chelsea Colandrea, Sales Development Rep

Instead of marshmallows, this classic sweet potato casserole from Half-Baked Harvest is topped with a crunchy bacon and pecan mixture. This dish has the perfect balance of sweet, savory, salty, and slightly spicy and is a great addition to your holiday table!

Molasses Chewies

Submitted by: Jeanne Stanley, Marketing Coordinator

These old-fashioned molasses cookies from Betty Crocker are frequently requested by my friends and family…if only they knew how easy they are to make! A touch of turbinado sugar gives these chewy cookies just a bit of crunch, as well as a pretty sparkle.
