If I am being completely honest, every year when trays of desserts start appearing at holiday gatherings, my sweet tooth becomes insatiable. All I've been craving is chocolate and gingerbread flavored everything. At this point, you could drizzle chocolate on cardboard and tell me it was a graham cracker - I wouldn't know the difference [...]
