Okay, so I first posted this recipe WAY back in the day. Like in December of 2012. And I have finally decided 4 years later that it was about time that this little gem got some shiny new photos before Christmas. ;) 








Honestly, this post was far overdue for a little photography face lift. I had meant to do it last December (and the December before that), but you know... the holidays caught up with me and I ran out of time. But this year? I made the time, you all. 








The new photos definitely do these festive Rice Krispies treats justice! Not that the old ones were too terribly bad (you can take a peek at one of the original photos from my 2012 post below). 








But I am glad that I finally gave this recipe post a snazzy new update just in time for Christmas this week. Because we all need to have at least one quick & festive sweet treat recipe up our sleeve for that last-minute holiday party or get-together. Am I right, folks? ;)

Post updated 12/17/19- This festive Peppermint Mocha Bundt Cake deserved some updated photos. I did leave one of the originals down below just so you all can see for yourself why this recipe so desperately needed a little face lift. ;)









I took a cue from one of my favorite holiday beverages from a certain Seattle based coffee chain for this festive, chocolaty bundt cake. A peppermint mocha is hands down my absolute must-have caffeinated beverage once the temperatures drop and the those red cups make their appearance each holiday season.









Yes, I know I can get this special treat year round, but there is just something about it being served in those festive red cups! Am I right here, folks? ;)
