Christmas Crack Chex Mix
Not your average Chex Mix. It’s similar to Muddy Buddies, there just isn’t any peanut butter or powdered sugar involved. A normal Chex Mix base is then mixed with holiday themed M&M’s or another chocolate of your choosing and then coated with melted white chocolate. It’s a great treat for parties or to leave out to munch on throughout the day.

S’mores Popcorn Balls
S’mores are great, but sitting out in the cold by a fire in the winter is not. This treat is a fun way to get the taste of s’mores without having to sit outside and roast marshmallows. This is great recipe for kids and adults alike and would be a fun treat for the whole family to make together.

Peppermint Chocolate Thumbprint Cookies
Chocolate cookies are delicious, but add a peppermint kiss and it becomes a refreshing treat that rivals Thin Mints. These cookies are easy and can be changed throughout the year to fit the flavor of the season. They are delicious bite-sized cookies that will be a hit at any holiday event.

Reindeer Rice Krispies
Who doesn’t love something on a popsicle stick that’s not only sweet but festive? Rice Krispie treats are a staple year round, but stick a festive face on them and they’ll become the most requested treat in your baking arsenal.

Cookie Bars
I love cookie bars. Last year was my first time making them with my mother and they were a hit not only in my household, but amongst all of my relatives as well. They’re soft, sweet and are only made better by the addition of M&M’s or another holiday-themed chocolate candy.

Apple Pie Dip
Apple pie is the quintessential American dessert. Apple pie is not the easiest thing to make, even if you use store-bought crusts. This dip gives you every good thing about apple pie without the hard work. If you brought this to a holiday party you’d have everyone else begging you for the recipe.

Cinnamon Sugar Pecans
If you want your house to smell great and your friends and family to adore you then this is a treat you should try. It’s great for those people in your life who love nuts, like my grandpa who always gets a can of roasted peanuts every year for Christmas. It’ll go quick but put it out for people to munch on and everyone will stop by for a handful until the bowl is empty.

Christmas Crack
This is the best, and I do mean best, holiday treat I’ve ever tried. I always hope that my friend will bring some of her mom’s to share because it is salty, sweet, crunchy, chocolatey and damn right delicious. I could go through an entire pan if I let myself; it’s really that good.

Gingerbread Crinkle Cookies
“NO! Not the buttons! Not my gumdrop buttons!” – Gingerbread Man (Shrek)
You don’t have to worry about anyone losing their buttons with these gingerbread cookies. These are the perfect cookie, with the outside being crisp and the inside being soft and fluffy. This would pair well with a mug of eggnog, a warm fire and a classic holiday movie.
