MERRY Little Christmas Treats

Hey there....

'tis the Season to be MERRY

and make MERRY treats;)

I'm talking fun, festive, easy, yummy kid-friendly treats!

I looked at my secret and not so secret (Pinterest) places

 and here are a few I want to pass on.......including links when available.

let's get started.......

First up we have "Grinch Kabobs".

 I told you easy, right?

a toothpick, grape, strawberry, banana slice

 and a mini marshmallow is all you need!  Yummmmm.

Rice Krispie Treats.......

Y'all know the recipe is on the box, right?

Just add green food coloring and build a Christmas Tree 

like Cookies and Cups!

 Red Velvet Santa's Hat Brownies.....

Hmmmm.  What does one say about these except double YUM!!!!!

 (source...Cookies and Cups again:)

Pretzel Presents.......

these are new to me this year.  

Nothing fancy.......just square pretzels, melted chocolate and m & m's.

or how about a Grape Christmas Tree?

Styrofoam cone, toothpicks, grapes and You're done!

 One of my favorites are Powdered Sugar Donut Snowmen,

made with mini donuts.

Soooooo cute and easy!

These are from A Little Tipsy.

In keeping with the donut theme,

mini chocolate donuts, pretzels and red m & m's = Rudolph!!!

Strawberries and Bananas!

What a cute after school snack:)

 Last but not least, one of our all time favorites.....Santa Hats!!

We first saw this on a Disney Video and have made them every year since.

Simply use a vanilla wafer as the base and use a dab of whipped cream or frosting to stick the strawberry to it. Decorate your "hat" with frosting or whipped cream again.

Well, there you go!  I DID say easy:)

naughty...or nice?

since i KNOW y'all are NICE out there,

i have some nice little treats for you.

and since we ALL know someone on the NAUGHTY list...

some goodies for them too:)

(thanks to pinterest) 

or maybe you have a GRINCH in your life.

if so, check these out...

you just need green m & m's and you're good to go!

okay...enough for the naughty list.

how about some NICE little treats.

the only criteria here:

EASY...YUMMY...and CUTE!

1.  Christmas tree brownies:

 pretty self explanatory but how CUTE!

we also like to cut out brownies like snowflakes and draw

on them a snowflake design with icing.

2.  North Pole Cupcakes.

 again...just look and copy them.

i mean, what isn't to like about a cupcake,

FLUFFY frosting and a candy cane stick?

personally, i think this next one is GENIUS!!!

3.  Donut Snowmen.

i say it's genius because it's SUPER easy, yummy AND kid friendly!

4. Santa's Hat Brownies.

 again...self explanatory.  These are soooo good!

we also used to make them on a vanilla wafer when my girls were young.

Sometimes i make a tray of the strawberries and whipped cream hats alone

and put them on a tray Christmas morning.

very FESTIVE...and simple.

hope you're all feeling MERRY and BRIGHT!
