As you're streaming Candy Coated Christmas on discovery+, we bet your sweet tooth will start to tingle. Why? Because while Ree Drummond makes an appearance as Bee the bakery owner, her recipes also have a starring role on set!
And what better way to enjoy the movie by making some of the treats yourself to eat while watching. Here are the recipes for the goodies we spied in Bee's bakery case.

Mint Brownie Bites
Mint plays a big part in Candy Coated Christmas (the fictional town in which it takes place is called Peppermint Hollow, after all). Ree's brownie bites are made in a muffin tin to create their adorable stout shape, and chocolate mint candies easily add extra pizzazz.

Maple Oat Nut Scones
We'd pick these up from Bee's bakery if we wanted a special breakfast for Christmas morning. Ground oats give them a hearty flavor, while a coffee-maple glaze brings rich sweetness.
