]]>All you need is a slab of chocolate—we recommended dark chocolate—and two ready-made rolls of puff pastry that you can purchase at any supermarket. On the day you want to make your dessert, ensure that you take the ready-made puff pastry out of the freezer or fridge at least an hour before you are ready to start baking. This will ensure that the pasty is fully defrosted and will feel more dough-like. This is an essential step because the last thing you want is for your pasty to break before you even start.
Once your pasty has fully defrosted, you can roll and shape the dough into any shape you prefer. We love to keep the pasty and simply place the slab of chocolate in the middle. Take the second defrosted roll and cover the slab of chocolate. Here you can cut and shape the pasty to look like a Christmas tree. You can also roll and shape the dough into a snowflake or another shape of your choice.
Ensure that the order is pasty, chocolate, and pastry, and you are good to go. Once you are happy, place on a lined baking tray and pop into a preheated oven at 350 degrees and bake for about 25 minutes or until the top is golden brown. Allow to cool down, and dust with powdered sugar if desired.

]]>Anyone who has taken a trip to the U.K. is likely familiar with the high-quality department store that stocks everything from clothes to food and household items. But just in case they haven’t, they will soon be able to experience M&S products for themselves, without having to hop on a plane.
From mid-November, 15 signature Marks & Spencer items will be available in Target stores, thanks to a partnership between the two retailers.
“One of the things that differentiates Target is the way we make style affordable and accessible for all and this partnership is the latest example of us building on that legacy in food and beverage,” stated Rick Gomez, Target’s executive vice president and chief food and beverage officer. “By joining forces with an iconic brand like Marks & Spencer, we’re bringing our guests amazing products and giving them another reason to turn to Target for the moments of joy that make the holidays special.”
Expect Christmas-themed buttery shortbread biscuits; mini chocolate houses that come in milk, dark, and white; and gingerbread houses that come in a musical tin.
It really is the most wonderful time of the year!

]]>Meat Choice
To make sure you have a quality ham, it’s always a good idea to order a smoked bone-in ham from your local butcher. Boneless ham may be more convenient, but bone-in ham usually has a better flavor and it will look much more dramatic on your table.
Baking Mistakes
When it comes to the cooking process, avoid going overboard with liquids because they’ll keep your ham moist by melting away even if you use them in smaller quantities. Using aluminum foil to cover your ham will also help it to retain its natural moistness.
Glazing Mistakes
Don’t rush things when it comes to your glaze, and wait about 15-20 minutes before your ham is finished to apply it. Once you do it, increase the temperature to give your ham beautiful color and taste, and keep an eye on your oven to avoid burning down your ham.

]]>Right Time
Holiday season can’t go without egg nog, pumpkin spice lattes, and similar tasty drinks that happen to be extremely high in sugar content. You shouldn’t completely abstain from drinking them, but keep that pleasure for special occasions instead of doing it every day.
Regular Workouts
Don’t use bad weather as an excuse to put your fitness goals on pause. It may be cold outside, but you can still burn all the extra calories from gingerbread cookies by hitting the gym or working out at home while Christmas songs play in the background.
Personal Trainer (@wildcatfit)Practice Moderation
There’s no need to give up any of your favorite holiday treats this season – as long as you know when to stop. Moderation is extremely important when it comes to eating any sugar-rich foods all year long, and you shouldn’t forget it once jingle bells start ringing.
