Christmas time is here once again. This is actually my favorite time of the year since this is the time when I can enjoy different kinds of foods and holiday treats. This is also a time where I don’t have to feel guilty when my glutton to food activates. In fact, I am starting to see news and updates in my social media sharing those newest Christmas food recipes and desserts. I could not help but to drool over them. LOL. I am indeed a glutton when it comes to Christmas foods.
Well, it’s been a week since I started planning for our Christmas menu. Since mom isn’t around and will not be around this holiday season, it seems like arranging our Christmas foods will be assigned to me. My nieces would surely want to have some Christmas treats on Christmas eve. But for someone like me who is not very good at baking and preparing (well I am not very fond of kitchen anyway), it’s really hard to come up with best Christmas dessert recipes. Good thing there are some cute yet easy Christmas treats recipes that I have found online. Here are they.
Christmas Treats for Kids
CHRISTMAS TREE BROWNIE BITES
Be adventurous this Christmas and serve extraordinary brownies as a desert. These delicious bites are made from brownies topped with a strawberry and covered with green frosting to make a lovely Christmas tree.. Yellow, red and white candy add just the right amount of colour to your tree, and everyone will be coming back for seconds and thirds.
THE SMILING SNOWMAN DOUGHNUTS
Who said doughnuts have to be boring? Brighten up your Christmas table with treats that your children and no doubt some adults will enjoy. The Snowman’s frosted face is lightened up with red and black candy and his smile will bring cheer to your whole family. That’s the Christmas spirit.

REINDEER CHOCOLATE DOUGHNUTS
Oh those reindeers. See how lovely and delicious they look. Cover your doughnuts with chocolate frosting and then decorate them to look like reindeers. Pretzels for the ears and different colour candy for the eyes and the nose. And they taste wonderful no doubt.
CANDY CANE MARSHMALLOW POPS
Give your marshmallows a new look this Christmas. Cover them halfway with chocolate cream or frosting and sprinkle with bits of white and red cracked up candy and then crown them with a white and red candy cane to match. If they were not so delicious you could even be tempted to hang them up as part of the Christmas tree decorations. You can still do it if you are daring enough but soon your tree will be devoid of any decorations, and that is a fact.
PEANUT BUTTER BLOSSOMS
Bake those cookies and make them delightful for Christmas by topping them up with kisses. Your cookies can be of different colours to suit your Christmas colour theme. They also make lovely sweet presents for friends and family.

And as mentioned, good enough for the Christmas tree, good enough for your table. And can be given away as presents too.
