10 Easy Sweet Treats To Make This Christmas

7th December 2016

Our top 10 easy-to-make sweet treats this Christmas.

There’s nothing quite so great at spreading Christmas cheer as handing someone a homemade sweet gift. We have rounded up 10 of the best DIY sweet treats from the web. All easy and fun to make and guaranteed to bring a smile to someone’s face. Who said they have to be gifts though, why not enjoy making AND eating them yourself!

1. Melted Snowman Cookies

These cookies are just brilliant! If you don't fancy making the biscuits from scratch why not buy your favourite cookies and decorate them with icing and marshmallows - same result, minimum effort! Get the recipe here.

2. Frozen Chocolate Banana Penguins

The perfect way to bribe your child into eating one of their 5 a day. Here's how to make them.

3. Hot Chocolate Spoons

These hot chocolate spoons would make a lovely present for a neighbour or teacher this Christmas. Use your creativity with the toppings and final presentation. Find the recipe here.

4. Candy Sleighs

We made lots of these candy sleighs at Candy Hero HQ for our shop window displays and the amount of people that came into our stores asking to buy them was unreal! We pointed everyone in this direction. The fun of making them yourself is unbeatable and you can tailor the candy to your recipient.

5. Snowman S'mores

Considering the snowman s'mores header is provided free on the Yellow Bliss Road blog this make is VERY easy. Just buy the Peep's Snowmen, the Graham Crackers and the Hershey's Bars and assemble. Voilà

6. Reese's Reindeers

Definitely the cutest, tastiest reindeer we have ever laid eyes on! A bit of chocolate 'glue' is the secret to success with these fun peanut butter treats. Here's the recipe.

7. Mint Snowman Marshmallows

The stunning photography from i am a food blog really sells the idea of the melting snowmen. They are perfectly cute as they are but pop them in a cup of hot chocolate and the cuteness goes into overdrive.

8. Santa Strawberries

Very simple to make using just three ingredients: strawberries, whipped cream and chocolate sprinkles. A great dessert or sweet canapé for Christmas day. Here's all the details.

9. Reese's Christmas Trees

It's that magic chocolate 'glue' again. A great one to make at the same as the Reese's reindeers. Maybe you could make a little peanut butter forest with reindeers and trees all sponsored by Reese's! Here's everything you need to make them.

10. Marshmallow Snowman Lollipops

Jolly, plump and oh so tempting! Jumbo marshmallows and coloured chocolate or candy wafers is all you need to make these awesome snowman marshmallow lollipops. Check out Kayla's Creative Baking for the recipe.
