Mexican Holiday Sweets

This is a live, interactive, hands-on cooking class held online via Zoom. See our event policies at the bottom of this webpage.

Cozy up to holiday sweets with a Mexican twist! Annelies' family comes from Northern Mexico and would frequently eat garrapiñadas de nuez, spice sugar-encrusted pecans that makes a great snack or easy edible gift. They would also make buñuelos, sweet fried disks of dough, and champurrado, thickened Mexican hot chocolate, which were both holiday favorites around Christmas. Wear your ugliest holiday sweater and join Annelies Zijderveld for this festive holiday class!
