Thanksgiving break is just right around the corner for college students. Kids reunite with their parents and family members, celebrate the holiday of being thankful and togetherness and get invited to Friendsgivings, which, dare I say, is the best part of Thanksgiving break. Need a Friendsgiving dish to bring to the function? I got you. I have a deep love for baking fun dishes, so here are some desserts that I’ve made for my past Friendsgivings that are easy and quick for you to make at home! 

  1. S’more Brownies

I loved making s’more brownies! This recipe was super quick. I made this dish for Friendsgiving last year, and it was a hit! Everyone loved them so much; I should have brought an extra pan. 

  1. Banana Pudding

This recipe is probably a bit more affordable because there’s less ingredients, and much easier to make. I highly recommend making this the night before your Friendsgiving. 

  1. Sugar Cookies

I am a sugar cookie god. I make sugar cookies for every holiday: Thanksgiving, Valentine’s Day, or even just a random Tuesday if I’m in the mood to bake. This recipe was a fan favorite back in high school, and I still use this same recipe to this day, even as a college student. 

  1. Apple Pie (or a pie of your choice!) 

This is, of course, a Thanksgiving classic that is always on the dinner table, and every year I gobble it up with a side of vanilla ice cream. This classic dish can be a bit tedious and can get messy, but it is 110% worth it once it comes out of the oven. 

Although these different desserts are very different from each other, and some may not be very Thanksgiving-esque, these are a few desserts I’ve made for other people and have been fan favorites, so hopefully they will also be fan favorites amongst your friend group or even in your household!
