No-Bake Holiday Desserts

Info from Brit.co

1. Chocolate Oatmeal Cookies: a staple around the holidays, these cookies require one pot and a stove top. These cookies contain dangerously delicious amounts of peanut butter and chocolate, and for a different texture, try making them with Crunchy peanut butter. 

2. White Chocolate No-Bake Cheesecake: These very red and white little cheesecakes would add the perfect festive touch to any meal and will wow friends and family!

3. Thin Mint Cookies: Dreaming about Girl Scout Cookies? Satisfy your crunchy, minty craving by making your own thin mints and if you’re feeling generous, give some as gifts!

4. Scotcheroo Bar: This classic from Buns in My Oven is always welcome at large gatherings. Added bonus, you can make a whole pan of these treats in one batch making it a low stress contribution.

5. Triple Chocolate Brownies: The name alone makes us hungry. Anything with that much chocolate has to be delicious.

6. Peppermint Fudge: This super simple fudge has color in all the right places. Not to mention the sweet crushed candy cane on top that makes this dessert undeniably festive.

8. Rum Balls: ”But where has all the rum gone?” In these holiday classics! Nab an easy and boozy dessert by making these petite bites.

9. Peanut Butter Bar: Another large group friendly recipe, these Peanut Butter Bars from Our Best Bites are sure to please even the pickiest of eaters, think a giant Reese’s cup.

10. Mini Grasshopper Pies: We can’t get over how sweet these little desserts are, both visually and to eat! These individual desserts would be a perfect addition to a small dinner party.

11. Samoa Bars: Okay maybe we’re a little Girl Scout focused but if Thin Mints aren’t your thing why not make Samoa Bars!

12. Vegan Peanut Butter Cacao Fudge Bars: Yes these amazing looking fudge bars are vegan! That means none of your friends and family have to miss out on the holiday goodies.

13. Oreo Truffles: How do dense and delicious little Oreo truffles sound to you? We’re certainly excited about this finger friendly truffle.

14. S’More Pie:  If you tried our S’More pie and loved it, you’ll love this version as well! It does take longer to make but maybe you could whip up both and have a blind tasting.
