Fudge ice cream and mini chocolate chips pack a chocoholic punch, while vanilla ice cream and mini coloured candies appeal to the young at heart.

Sometimes a simple cookie is the best holiday treat. Look for good-quality dark chocolate and double-check the ingredient list to make sure it doesn't contain any milk ingredients – otherwise stick with carob chips.
Canadian Living has published many chocolate chip cookie recipes, but founding food editor Carol Ferguson's recipe, with a punchy hit of vanilla, is the standout. You can try making these cookies with all butter as well.
Chocolate chips update this classic. Beating the egg whites with a stand mixer gives great height to the cake. An electric hand mixer still gives a pillowy texture, but the cake will not be as high.
This nutty cheese ball is always a crowd-pleaser, is easy to throw together and can be made the day before! The garlic toasted pita chips make it even more delicious.
If ever there was a British national dish, this has to be it. Loved from John O’Groats to Land’s End, fish and chips is the perfect Friday night supper.
In mid-19th-century Britain, the worlds of Irish immigrants – with their potato dominated diet – and Jewish fried fish vendors collided, and a national dish was born, spawning countless chippies on high streets and seaside piers up and down the land. About a quarter of all white fish and 10 per cent of the potatoes now sold in Britain are sold in fish and chip shops. Not to mention the pickled onions and eggs, curry sauce and mushy peas that go with them.
I am going to say it outright: this is the best chocolate chip cookie I have EVER made.
I can typically control myself when it comes to indulging in all my home baking, but this time around I inhaled about 1/3 of the batch before I even realized what was going on! I’ll let you in on the two secret ingredients as to why these cookies are so addictively delicious: firstly, they contain espresso powder. You’ll want to make sure it’s instant espresso powder not just ground espresso, it should be the kind that dissolves completely into liquid. Espresso intensifies the flavour of chocolate, so you should consider adding it into your favourite chocolate cakes as well!
Second, sprinkling large flake sea salt onto these cookies as soon as they come out of the oven is an absolute game changer. Salt in general is the ingredient that brings all the flavours together, but both the texture and flavour of those little salty flakes as you eat this cookie will have you coming back for more. I baked these while I was in New York and found chocolate “morsels” at their grocery stores; these seem to just be an alternative name to chocolate chips, but they tend to be larger, so consider using these if you manage to find them, or large semi-sweet chocolate chips to add to that chocolate decadence. With the addition of nutty browned butter and toasted pecans, this is sure to become your favourite cookie recipe too!
No party is complete without chips and dip. This dip has za'atar, a Middle Eastern spice blend, which can be found in most grocery stores. Check the expiration date on the walnuts you're buying to ensure they are fresh. Soaking them overnight gets rid of the astringency that some people don't like, so give this recipe a try – even if you think you don't like walnuts!
