I don’t know about you, but it’s never too early to be thinking about Christmas. And what’s Christmas without those cute and scrumptious holiday desserts? Here are 5 extremely easy recipes that even the most culinary-challenged student (like myself) can whip up in their dorm or apartment to get in the spirit!
1) Christmas Bark
Add M&Ms, peppermint, and white chocolate and you get magic. This delicious, no bake treat is perfect for any Tacky Christmas sweater party. Here’s the recipe: http://backforseconds.com/easy-christmas-bark-recipe/
2) Peppermint Cookies

These cute little peppermint cookies are super fun and easy to make. Basically all you need to do is buy some “ready to bake” cookies that are precut (unless you want to go all traditional and make your own cookie batter), a box of candy canes, and peppermint Hershey kisses. You can find the whole recipe here: http://www.isavea2z.com/easy-peppermint-cookies-recipe/#_a5y_p=1116031
3) Nutter Butter Reindeer
Look at how cute (and yummy) they are. This could probably be one of the easiest and cheapest desserts that require zero cooking. With a few ingredients, you have yourself little reindeer snacks.

I have obviously saved the best for last. Say goodbye to the Pumpkin Spice Latte and say hello to the Pumpkin Spice Cheesecake Mousse! *heart eyes emoji* And the best news – no oven needed! This recipe takes a little bit longer, but is well worth it. Here’s the recipe: http://www.afamilyfeast.com/no-bake-mini-pumpkin-cheesecakes/
