This article is written by a student writer from the Her Campus at Cincinnati chapter.

Thanksgiving is just around the corner, and I know you all are rushing to figure out what treats you want to have at your get-togethers. Look no further; I have picked out the top 10 different treats that will work perfectly for you!

1. Pumpkin Spice Cupcakes

Pumpkin spice cupcakes with cream cheese icing. A personal favorite with my family!

2. Oreo Balls

Is it just me, or does anyone else think it’s not a proper holiday without Oreo balls? For me, I know I am always searching the snack table for these perfect little balls of joy. AND you can dress them up for any occasion! Just look at the cute little turkeys.

3. Pie

Pie is a classic dessert that you have to have at a Thanksgiving dinner. My personal favorite is the chocolate pie my grandma makes (actually that’s the only pie I like, sorry pumpkin pie lovers).

4. Caramel Apples

Perfect for fall, caramel apples are a great addition to your snack table! Especially mini ones.

5. Pumpkin Roll

Basically rolled up pumpkin bread with cream cheese icing. YUM.

6. Chex Mix

Throw candy corn into your typical Chex Mix and viola! You’ve got yourself a Thanksgiving snack.

7. Chocolate Acorns

An easy thing to make and an easy thing to eat.

8. Chocolate Pretzel Turkey Bites

So cute, and festive. And I LOVE chocolate covered pretzels.

9. Rice Krispy Treats

There are so many different things you can do with rice Krispy treats. From making them look like a pumpkin pie to making them look like mini pumpkins, there are so many options!

10. Pilgrim Hats

These treats are easy to make and super festive. Edible clothing? I’ll take it!
