I’m not going to lie…I indulge over the holidays. After all, it only comes once a year! But now that Christmas is over, I’m ready to cut back on the goodies, so this cute little cookbook is going to come in handy as it has better portion sizes for me.
PETITE Treats
Mini Versions of Your Favorite Baked Delights
By Christy Beaver and Morgan Greenseth
Before Christmas, I made the Cranberry Orange Rolls on page 33.
I made the dough as directed and let it rise. I rolled it out and spread the filling (butter, brown sugar, orange zest, and cinnamon) on both halves.
I placed some fresh, chopped cranberries over the filling evenly.
I rolled up each piece lengthwise.
I cut the rolls into 1″ segments and placed them in the pan.
I let them rise again.
Then I baked them for about 20 minutes. When they cooled a bit, I drizzled them with the glaze.
I loved the orange and cranberry flavor! We ate them while they were a little warm. I liked the small size, but I wish the rolls came out lighter and less dense.
I’m looking forward to trying more mini recipes such as Cannoli, Strawberry Cream Eclairs, Apple Pie Cookies, Blackberry Lime Meringue Pie, Baked Glazed Chocolate Donuts, Jelly Donuts, and Boston Cream Yippie Pies!

Indulge!
Indulge always :)
I always indulge in desserts.
I try not to but I indulge!
I hate to admit, but I always allow myself to indulge on desserts!
Ate a little too much chocolate this holiday season. Looks like the doggies will be getting extra long walks to make up for the snacking.
If I am being strict on Weight Watchers can stay away from the desserts. If I have not been strict I can’t leave them alone.
I indulge year round
I always indulge in desserts.
I eat too much but cut back after.
My mantra “Eat All The Sweets”
The holidays come once a year, I celebrate, bake and eat. Then I cut back.
I am always careful about what I eat. I don’t want to go over board!
I enjoy sampling all the new goodies that are around only during this time of year but also limit how much I indulge. It’s easy to reason to only taste a little now and to cut back after but somehow that day is moved back further and further.
Guilty, I over indulge, I still trying to cut back :)
Definitely injudulge and as of right now I am trying to cut back.
I don’t over indulge in sweets.
I sample but try to be careful not to overdo

trying to do better, but I indulge
With the amount of cookies/candy/etc. I fix, there’s no avoiding it and honestly, I don’t much try to torture myself by doing so.
It’s all about trying mini portions of the desserts. But overall, when you add them all up, I indulge!!
Indulge!!
I watch what I eat. Although sometimes I watch it go in my mouth but usually I watch it.
I usually indulge anytime desserts are near! LOL
Yes, I pig out around the holidays then cut back after.
I usually eat more sweets during the Holidays, and don’t really indulge the rest of the year.
I indulge all year round haha
Enjoy occassionally is my motto :)
we are eating to our hearts content and then after new years we will start watching again
I like desserts all the time. holiday or no.
always indulge and cut back after I am sugared out!
I try not to indulge, but I’d be lying if I said I didn’t do so at least occasionally!
Around the holidays I tend to bake more and indulge!
Indulge!!!
I love sweets anytime, so I usually just taste them instead of eating them, that way I don’t get in trouble.LOL.

I enjoy little splurges year round.
I indulge on holidays and family celebrations (birthdays, anniversaries, graduations, etc.). :)
I try my best to eat without too much indulging.
Do do enjoy a little more sweet treats around the holidays but the rest of the year I try to eat smaller portions and not as often. this book would be great.
Shamefully, with a dessert blog, I snack all year round!
I generally try to stay on top of eating well year round but I’m not against a little indulging here and there :)
I am not a big sweets eater at all, but there are certain sweets I love….like cheesecake :-)
I always indulge on sweets.
I try to be good about eating desserts in moderation, but sometimes I indulge a little too much.
In the last year I have lost 110 pounds so I am now always careful about what I eat. I still very much enjoy baking but I let other people indulge in my passion.
I indulge from time to time
I try not to indulge very much, but this holiday season, I struggled a little more than usual. Thank you for the giveaway and the opportunity to participate.
