It's December, again. That means... READATHON!

It's that time of the year again, folks! I go back to December all the time... Or at least once a year. And December means the second annual READATHON! Hosted by the wonderful WhoRuBlog, December 2-4 is spent reading and giving. For even more information, please visit this link here.

Just like last year I could not say no when asked to host a mini challenge at Courtney Reads. I am very lucky to be on the long list of awesome giveaways.

This year my challenge is...

What is your favorite holiday dish or dessert?

You may simply just state the dish in a comment below. But if you want to give the details on how to make this fabulous creation, I'm not going to stop you! I may have to try them for myself!
I absolutely adore baking and this time of the year I spend most of my time in the kitchen. I have been craving something peanut butter for a while now and searched everywhere for a peanut butter pie recipe. Last week, I made some and fell in love. I think I actually ate 3 peices yesterday... Oops. :)
__________
Recipe:
-1 cup powdered sugar
-1 (8-ounce) block cream cheese, softened

-1 cup creamy peanut butter (I used Skippy - Creamy)
-1 (14-ounce) can fat-free sweetened condensed milk
-1 12-ounce tub frozen whipped topping, thawed
-2 9-inch graham cracker shells
-chocolate sundae syrup 

Prep:
Combine the first 3 ingredients in a large bowl; beat with a mixer at medium speed until smooth. Add the condensed milk, and beat until combined. Stir in the whipped topping. Divide the mixture evenly between shells; chill 8 hours or until set (pies will have a soft, fluffy texture). Cut into wedges, and drizzle with chocolate syrup.

Now I bet you are saying "Courtney, what is the prize?!" Well, one randomly chosen commenter will receive a custom made ornament by me, Courtney Rae. I do not have a picture at this moment, the gift is currently drying, but one should be posted by tomorrow morning.

Check out the READATHON fun and participate as much as possible! WhoRuBlog is hosting some amazing giveaways. Remember, if you talk about the READATHON on twitter, use the hashtag #READATHON so we can follow along with you.
Have fun, kids! Happy Holidays! Try the pie! :D
