😍 5 Tasty No-Bake Holiday Treats


Hi Reader!

Last week we got our holiday baking done (check and check!) so this week we're tackling our favorite no-bake holiday treats.

My kids have been asking every day for weeks when it's time to make our annual batch(es) of this to hand out to friends and neighbors, and I personally love keeping a bag of these in the freezer for daintily nibbling on (read: shoveling into my mouth) after dinner.

All five of these gifts make excellent edible holiday gifts, by the way, so whip up a double batch and share the love. ❀️

(Psst! My Large Batch Homemade Taco Seasoning is another very popular gift to give for the holidays!)
