To me, the holidays will always be about family – and food. There’s something magical about gathering around the table, sharing stories and laughter, and indulging in recipes that carry memories from year to year. In the countdown to Christmas, we lean most heavily on time-honored traditions and beloved treats, savoring any excuse to gather, indulge, and unwind.
This year, however, I’m branching out a little with a brand-new (to me, at least) recipe: Joanna Gaines’ chocolate cherry mashers. I discovered this sweet treat while scrolling through videos shared by Magnolia Table, and I wasted no time tracking down all the details on Joanna Gaines’ blog. More affectionately known as Aunt Mary's Cherry Mashers, these little bites are, frankly, genius: combining frosting mix and powdered sugar with maraschino cherries and condensed milk, they firm up in the freezer before being dunked in chocolate.
