Chocolate flapjacks
These oat chocolate flapjacks are the perfect sweet holiday treat for kids. The oat base slowly releases energy, so kids won't get a big sugar spike right after eating them! Dipping the flapjacks in yummy melted chocolate makes them even more delightful!
Eating flapjacks right away is tempting, but make sure to let the Christmas treats cool completely.
Chocolate cheerio baubles
These are some of my favorite Christmas recipes to bring to holiday parties. Cheerios are mixed with milk and white chocolate chips and then shaped into a Christmas bauble. They look as if they could be hung up on a Christmas tree.
Each bite of these Cheerio baubles is crunchy and sweet. It's an amazing homemade Christmas treat that all your friends and family will enjoy!
Chocolate fairy cakes
These scrumptious Christmas treats have a secret ingredient that gives them their addicting flavor. Amarula liqueur buttercream! This South African cream liqueur provides the buttercream icing with a boozy richness that will warm up your soul.
Chocolate fairy cakes are not only delicious, but they have an adorable design that is perfect for the holidays. These sweets are much better than your average store-bought cupcake!
Mars bar cakes
If you're looking for a decadently sweet treat to bring to a holiday party, make these Mars bar cakes! Mars bars are melted with butter and gently poured on top of chocolatey Rice Krispies. It's crunchy, gooey, and oh-so-sweet!
The best part about this recipe is there is no need for baking. Mars bar cakes are ready in a jiffy, so you don't have to get the kitchen dirty on Christmas Eve.
Chocolate orange cupcakes
Chocolate and orange are a match made in heaven, and these cupcakes prove just that. The tartness of the orange brings out the sweetness of the chocolate, so it's just such a treat. It's a unique combination, but it will have the whole family addicted!
I enjoy making these Christmas treats during the holiday season, but they're a great option at any time of the year. So, make them during the annual baking day or for a birthday.
Chocolate coconut clusters
Give your Christmas party a tropical twist with these incredible chocolate coconut clusters. Coconut gives the snack a sweet nuttiness that makes you feel like you're spending the holiday on an island. These coconut clusters are a versatile dessert as well!
Add in cinnamon to make the coconut clusters more festive, or use plant-based ingredients to make them vegan. It's a fun recipe that everyone can easily make together and enjoy.
Peanut butter coconut balls
If you're not a chocolate lover, these peanut butter coconut balls will do just the trick. Shredded coconut and peanut butter give the Christmas treats their signature sweet and salty flavor. Make a large batch of treats, so you can enjoy them on Christmas or throughout the winter.
If you want a crunchier treat, add in some chopped peanuts. It's a yummy way to get the festive spirit going!
Gingerbread cupcakes
What's more festive than an adorable batch of gingerbread cupcakes? The cake is filled with warm and rich spices and then topped with a decadent cream cheese frosting. Decorate each cake with mini gingerbread cookies to make them a fun dessert that kids and adults alike will love.
You can also make the gingerbread cookies have different shapes to give the sweets a different vibe. Snowflake or snowman cupcakes are good options, but experiment!
Pecan cookies
When you have these pecan cookies in the oven, your house will be filled with the incredible smells of vanilla and pecans. These Christmas treats are just as delicious as they smell! Their nutty taste is addictive, but the vanilla and brown sugar are what takes them to the next level.
Mix chocolate chips into the batter with pecans to give the holiday treats a gooey texture. It's perfect to enjoy with a cup of coffee or to make for Santa!
Christmas Pinwheel cookies
These are the most festive Christmas treats on this list! Regular sugar cookie dough is dyed with red and green, giving the pinwheel cookies their signature Christmas look. Each soft sugar cookie is rolled in green sprinkles to give it that extra festive touch.
They're exquisitely soft, but their bright appearance is what makes them so loved. A plate of these looks as if they belong right under the Christmas tree!
Gingerbread Cookies
A Christmas holiday wouldn't be complete without a plate of gingerbread cookies! This classic Christmas dessert is not only known for its warm ginger taste but also its fun appeal during the holidays.
Decorate the cookies with sprinkles, candy buttons, and, of course, icing! It's a great way to get the family in the holiday spirit.
Black Forest Truffles
With just a few ingredients and a bit of time, you can make these elegant Christmas treats. Chocolate is mixed with plenty of cream and dried cherries for the perfect combination of sweet and tart. These classy treats are a great addition to any Christmas shindig.
One of the best things about these candies is that they're gluten-free! Everyone can enjoy a bit of sweetness this holiday season.
Sugar cookies
Sugar cookies are quintessential Christmas treats! They're soft and melt in your mouth, but the best part is how much you can play around with them. You can make cookie trees, snow-shaped cookies, or even candy canes!
Each sugar cookie is a template for creativity. Make different batches of colorful icing and design them how you like. Sugar cookies are so yummy, though, you'll have a hard time remembering to save a few for Santa.
Reindeer Pretzel Twists
These cute reindeer pretzels are a delight for kids and adults alike. Rolo candies are delicately melted onto pretzels for sweet and salty Christmas treats. Add candy eyes and red candied chocolate to give them the perfect reindeer appearance.
Its cute look isn't the only part we love about this recipe! Each bite is crunchy and gooey, so it's a joy to eat as well!
Chocolate sandwich cookies
Chocolate sandwich cookies are so delicious! The soft shortbread cookies are layered with frosting and then rolled in crushed peppermint candy for that classic minty Christmas taste. The candy canes give the cookies their festive look and yummy peppermint taste.
Some people aren't big fans of chocolate and peppermint together, but there are other toppings you can use. Instead of candy cane cookies, roll them in crushed Oreos, sprinkles, or even potato chips!
Sweetened condensed milk fudge
An indulgent fudge doesn't have to be difficult. This fudge recipe is made with rich, sweetened condensed milk, gooey white chocolate chips, and warm gingerbread spices.
These Christmas treats are incredible as is, but top them with peppermint candies, festive sprinkles, or crushed gingerbread cookies to give them more pizzazz.
Strawberry Cookies
If you're looking to shy away from the classic peppermint cookies, try these strawberry cookies! The berries give them a fruity sweetness that feels refreshing after a heavy Christmas dinner. Their texture is fantastic as well!
The strawberry cookie has crispy edges but a soft and chewy middle. Once you get a taste, you'll be making them all year.
