In the glow of Christmas lights,
Beneath the tree with all its cheer,
Lie treasures small, a true delight,
Chocolate Bourbon Bites, my dear.
A family secret, passed through time,
Of cocoa dark and bourbon sweet,
With every bite, a taste sublime,
A treat that's hard to beat.
They fill the room with tales of yore,
Of laughter shared and moments bright,
Each morsel tells of love and more,
In these cookies, pure delight.
So gather 'round, this festive night,
Indulge in joy, in every bite,
For these are not just cookies, see,
They're Christmas magic, family glee.
