24 peppermint bark cookies for $4.88These start with a box of brownie mix, so they’re fudgy in the middle, then get dipped in white chocolate and crushed candy canes.

Day 4 of 12 Days of Budget-Friendly Christmas Treats 🎄Gingerbread Cinnamon Roll Cheesecake Bars. A can of cinnamon rolls becomes the crust, then there’s a creamy gingerbread cheesecake layer, a brown sugar crumble, and a drizzle of icing on top. They taste like Christmas morning.The whole pan cost $6.54 and makes 12 bars, so that’s about 55¢ each. After yesterday’s splurge, this one got me back on track.💰 Running total: $43.30 spent, $56.70 left for 8 more treats.Breakfast or dessert? I honestly can’t decide. ☕️The full recipe is in the first comment. You can catch up on Days 1–3 in the pinned post at the top of my page. ...

Day 3 of 12 Days of Budget-Friendly Christmas Treats 🎄Santa’s Stuffed Christmas Cookies, with a whole Lindt truffle hiding inside each one. When you break them open, the center is warm and melty.These took me a little trial and error. My first batches spread and leaked everywhere. The trick that finally worked is freezing the cookie balls overnight and baking them straight from frozen.The whole batch cost $16.25 and makes 12 big cookies, so that’s about $1.35 each. They’re my priciest treat so far, but they’re worth it.💰 Running total: $36.76 spent, $63.24 left for 9 more treats.Would you leave these out for Santa, or keep them for yourself? 🎅The full recipe is in the first comment. You can catch up on Days 1 and 2 in the pinned post at the top of my page. ...
