minutesEver since I can remember, I’ve woke up on Christmas morning to the smell of fresh, homemade snails baking in the oven! It’s a Christmas morning tradition that I grew up on – we always eat Cinnamon Sugar Snails and drink homemade wassel as we open up our gifts. It’s kind of an appetizer to our big Christmas brunch! Now, these may always taste like Christmas to me…but they can be enjoyed at any breakfast or brunch year-round! They are ooey, gooey, easy to make and always gone in seconds. You can make them with or without nuts – so there’s a version for everyone!
