Food? The answer is always yes, and when holiday season is approaching, enjoying food becomes even easier. Before October ends and the buzz is all about Thanksgiving, though, there are must-try DIY recipes that, if I can do, you can too. No tricks, only treats. Without further ado, and after some deep searching, here are five of the easiest, cutest, and, of course, most appetizing fall dishes.
1. Chocolate Acorns
This is just such a simple and cute way to wow your family and friends. Whether they're part of the appetizer or dessert table, your belly will surely thank you.
2. Chocolate-Dipped Candy Corn Treats
To successfully make this dessert, all you need to do is follow a normal rice-krispie treat recipe, add orange food coloring, shape the treats into candy corns, dip the top end in white chocolate (or marshmallow fluff) and the bottom in milk or dark chocolate (your preference!).
3. Apple Cider Floats
Who doesn't love a tasty, filling drink? Whether you like your apple cider hot or cold is completely your preference, as this amazing treat allows you to choose how you serve it. Vanilla ice cream, apple cider, cinnamon (optional), whipped cream (optional), caramel sauce (optional), and an apple slice (optional) are the only ingredients that go into this masterpiece.
4. Fluffy S'mores Dip
When the weather gets cooler, the nights get darker earlier, and the holiday talk begins, meals and drinks alike start to get warmer and hotter; soups, hot chocolate, and flavored hot coffees take place of ice cream, grilled meats, and popsicles. Still, it's sometimes nice to have recipes that don't burn your insides. This amazing dip does just that, while combining the joys of fluff and melted chocolate. The best part about it is that what you choose to dip in it is completely up to you.
5. Apple Nachos
Yes, you read right. Apples + nachos. Probably one of the greatest combinations anyone has ever made. A few apples sliced thinly, warmed caramel sauce, melted white or milk chocolate (whatever strikes your nacho-fantasies more), pretzels, and chopped up pieces of your favorite candy bar (Heath, Twix, Snickers, Milky Way, Reese's Cups to give you ideas) will make this a stress-free go-to dish.
Surely there are hundreds if not thousands more DIY recipes that are tasty, cost-effective, and generally easy. For more ideas, a great starting point is Pinterest. No matter what you choose to try, don't let the appearance of your treat discourage you. Besides, who ever said that the attractiveness of the dish mattered more than the taste?
