Ep 99: Circular Celebration

Stefin and Andrea are debating the merits of Country Crock Buttery Sticks (and Stefin's reminiscing about their fabulous, flirty commercials from the '80s). They're also anticipating their star turn as "fruitcake experts" on Brian Earl's Christmas Past podcast (stay tuned for an air date). Then, it's on to their review of Mini Peanut Butter Cups from Cookie & Kate. How did Andrea’s sunflower seed butter variation turn out? Which chocolate did Stefin love? And, crucially, just how long did these circular candies last in each of their homes? (Hint: Not long.) Next up, the duo introduce the next "round" bake-along: Alexandra Stafford’s Very Good Bagels – Easy-ish Too, which may take the cake for best title ever. Since bagels are a hit in both hosts' homes, they're looking forward to finding a TNT ("tried 'n' true") recipe for a DIY version. Will this be it? Finally, the gals dish out their tips for hosting a big holiday meal. From downsizing desserts to calling on your freezer (or Aunt Marge), these tricks might just help save your sanity, Preheated-style.
