When you think of the holidays, one of the things that comes to mind might be Christmas cookies. While cookies are a fun treat to make and decorate, there are a ton of other sweets to make around the holidays! Here are five treats that are perfect to make for your Christmas gatherings. All of these sweets are very simple to make and require very little to no actual baking whatsoever.
1. Buckeyes
If you love Reese’s Peanut Butter Cups, then you will be obsessed with this sweet treat. These peanut butter balls dipped in chocolate are heavenly and hard to stop eating!
2. Red Velvet Cake Balls
Red velvet cake plus cream cheese plus white chocolate equals heaven! This simple recipe is delicious and way better than the cake pops from Starbucks.
3. Christmas Crack
You have probably been given chunks of this during the holidays a few times before. Saltine crackers with chocolate and caramel melted on top! The name pretty much says it all as far as how addictive this stuff can be.
4. Monkey Munch
Also know by the name “puppy chow,” this is one of my personal favorite things to make all year round! Rice Chex cereal with a peanut butter and chocolate glaze and topped with powdered sugar will definitely satisfy your sweet tooth!
5. Chocolate Pretzel Bites
Now this has got to be the easiest and still equally delicious deserts on this list. All you have to do is lay out your favorite type of pretzel, place a Hersey’s Hugs on top and then place in the oven until the chocolate melts just a bit. Then pop a M&M on top of that!
