Brandy's Nook of Books: Petite Treats Cookbook Review

 

Have you noticed the "mini" trend lately?  with items like the Baby Cakes cookers, and mini waffles sticks kitchen appliances, mini items are the trend now-a-days.  I think we have finally broken the "Super-Size" trends. 

 

Just in time for the Holidays!  I know that many people tend to "stuff" themselves on the Turkey, the ham, the side dishes, so much so that when dessert hits the table, many of us cring, too full to take a slice.  Then you now what happens next.  Guests leave, and you have a fridge full of desserts that you end up spending the week eating all by yourself!

 

I was super excited to get to review this cute little cookbook.  From mini donuts, to mini cupcakes, to mini brownies, there is something for everyone in this compact little cookbook. 

 

With more than 130 pages, deciding which item to make first was a bit of a conundrum.  The photography of each mini dessert was truly delectable.  I seriously wanted to just lick the pages. 

 

What I like about these mini desserts, is that you can actually make much more of a variety for your guests, without having to spend a fortune on ingredients, or without having to spend all day in the kitchen.  Plus, with each treat being "mini" the calories are also "mini"! 

 

Of course since Thanksgiving is just 3 days away, I will be making even more of these sweet little treats!  What will I be making?  I think we'll be trying the Espresso Brownies, and the Whiskey Maple Bacon Cupcakes!  Mmmmm. 

 

This cookbook is also a great item to pair with those "Mini" appliances that many of you will be giving as gifts, and can be pre ordered right now on Amazon for just $14.95 

( This has a November release date.)
