We’ll have budget friendly options to choose from and we’ll show you how to substitute healthy alternatives to holiday treats!
Ingredients for Recipes
Sweet Treat Holiday Board:
Find or bake different cookies and candy in your color choice. We’ll be doing a neutral board with accents of red and green.
Wooden board, plate, or tray.
Parchment paper
3-5 different holiday cookies. Variety tins are good for this! *You can also use cookies from gifts!
3-5 different candies - wrapped if the wrapper fits your theme
Popcorn
Candy canes
Pretzels or other savory crackers
Holiday sprinkles (optional)
Rosemary or sprigs of greenery for decoration (optional)
Small dishes to hold candies
Hot Chocolate Bombs:
Your choice of molds: mini or regular sized muffin papers, acrylic fillable clear ornament (2 halves 70 mm), silicone half sphere molds (70 mm or smaller), other molds that have enough room for mini marshmallows (6+ marshmallows) (silicone molds are sold out at most retailers - you can find the fillable (must be two halves that fit together!) ornaments at Michael’s or Joann’s. The cupcake or muffin liners are available everywhere. If you use the liners you’ll also need a muffin tin that they fit in to retain their shape.
