Easy no bake holiday food gifts anybody can make. From nut clusters to chocolate covered dates ~ you’ve got this!
(apricots) Dark Chocolate Dipped Apricots
Chewy sweet/tart apricots become a luxe treat when you dip them in good quality chocolate. This is the kind of thing you find in high end chocolatiers, and they’re so easy to make at home. The best last minute gift ever!
(chocolate wafers) Easy No Bake White Chocolate Thin Mints
These ‘thin mints’ are always a big hit ~ just dip the chocolate wafers in white chocolate and shower with crushed candy-canes, festive and easy-peasy!
(pretzels) Peppermint Bark Pretzels
There’s something about the sweet and salty combination that gets ’em every time. The key to these dipped pretzels is to splurge on top grade chocolate (it’s a gift, after all!)
(peanuts) Spanish Peanut Clusters Recipe
Salty Spanish peanuts, (skins on!) enrobed in dark chocolate make the most irresistible crunchy little clusters. Package them in a cute tin and prepare to get compliments..
(almonds) White Toasted Almond Bark
Deeply toasted almonds enrobed in white chocolate…this no bake treat is so much more awesome than the sum of its parts, and it’s one of my favorite homemade candies ever.
(ganache) BETTER Hot Chocolate Bombs
This gift is truly the bomb! These instant hot chocolate makers are such fun to make and give.
(dates) Chocolate Covered Dates
This stupid easy treat would cost you big $$$ if you bought them at a fancy candy store!
(brickle) Easy Butter Brickle Bark
Heath Bits O’ Brickle is the secret here ~ pop open a bag and make fabulous candy in minutes!
(cookies) Chocolate Dipped Orange Shortbread Cookies
Buttery bright orange shortbread cookies dunked in dark chocolate make a sophisticated holiday gift. For the no-bake option, get yourself some store-bought cookies!
(strawberries) Easy Chocolate Dipped Strawberries
This is a classic, and always a great idea if you can get your hands on some good berries.
(cashews) Amish White Cashew Clusters
Nobody will turn down these chunky clusters made with toasted whole cashews and white confectionary.
(trail mix) Dark Chocolate Mendiants
My dark chocolate mendiants are colorful, fun, and yes, healthy! Top these little blobs of good chocolate with your favorite dried fruits, nuts, and seeds.
These are truly the best gifts during this holiday season! Fantastic ideas and recipes- we love them all!!
