12 Days of Recipes: Day 8 [Brazilian Chocolate - New Coffee Idea!]

Welcome to our 12 Days of Recipes! At Joy Holiday Family, we love diving into the traditions that bring us together. The popular carol “Twelve Days of Christmas” is actually inspired by the ancient Christian tradition known as Christmastide. Each day of the song holds significance to the time leading up to the Epiphany on January 6th.

We’re using the classic cookbook, “The Joy of Cooking”, to inspire holiday treats for all twelve days. Check back each day for a new recipe! 🔔
