Happy 2018! I hope the new year brings you and yours so much joy. I did want to reminisce on the past year so I’ve put together the top 5 recipes from The Sweet Nerd in 2017. Use the arrows on the side of the image to tab from recipe to recipe. The title of each recipe is also a link to the actual recipe.

Mini mason jars are already so darn adorable but fill them with 3 delicious layers and they'll take the number one spot. Cookie crumbs, lemon curd, jam, repeat.

Aleppo, chocolate covered almonds, homemade marshmallows and so many other links to delicious recipes make it obvious why this delicious recipe is number 2.

These shortbread cookies aren't just topped with pretzels, the dough is full of pretzels- making them the perfect sweet and salty treat for any craving.

Is there anything better than the best of both worlds? This treat combines cookies and pecan pie sauce to rock your world.

Do I even need words to justify why these cuties made the list? Animals plus cupcakes = happiness, am I right?
