For many people, the best part of the holiday season is gathering with friends and family and enjoying their favorite holiday treats and dishes. Sometimes you need to mix it up and add some new recipes to the collection, or maybe you misplaced the one you had in mind and need some inspiration. Whatever your reason for looking for a new recipe, we hope you find your new favorite Christmas treat!
Here are 7 festive holiday treats to make this holiday season:
This is a super easy appetizer or snack to throw together for any gathering. All you need is cubed mozzarella, olive oil, sun-dried tomatoes, and a few spices, and you will have a delicious hors d'oeuvre that is sure to impress!
The cheese will need to marinate for at least 30 minutes, so plan accordingly or make the night before!
This recipe is another simple but delicious option. Mushroom caps make this dish uniform, mess-free, and so cute. Opt for cremini (also called baby bellas) for the perfect size, shape, and sturdiness. Crab meat can be expensive, but this recipe keeps it budget-friendly by calling for the canned variety!
Just make sure you know about everyone’s dietary restrictions at your gathering because this recipe does contain shellfish, gluten, and dairy!
So many holiday treats are rich, and that is why this recipe will be so refreshing. A simple kabob with a cherry tomato, fresh basil leaf, a bite-sized piece of mozzarella, and drizzled with olive oil and balsamic vinegar is as light as it gets around the holidays. Your friends and family will love how bright this dish is, and they might even find themselves dreaming of warm summer days!
You read that right; this is a recipe for homemade chex mix. You will truly wow your friends and family with this one, and this recipe is for a big enough batch that you can portion it out and give it as gifts to your coworkers!
The ingredient list is a bit long, but just think about how you can customize the recipe’s proportions to make the perfect batch of chex mix for you. Maybe you prefer more pretzels, fewer nuts, or extra extra bagel chips; whatever your preferences are, you can make that happen!
You can really never have too many dessert recipes for the holidays. And you will be a huge hit if you bring these to your next cooking party. This recipe takes the classic flavor of sugar cookies and gives them a makeover and a chocolate coating!
The best part of these truffles is that you don’t actually have to make the cookies! Store-bought cookies are called for, but, if you really love your own recipe, you can definitely make them from scratch.
If it is too warm where you live to drink hot chocolate, try making this incredible dessert dip. You only need 3 ingredients, plus whatever variety of graham crackers, shortbread cookies, or fruit that you want to use as a vehicle for the dip.
If it is not too warm to drink hot chocolate where you live, this could be an especially fun dish to set up with a hot chocolate bar. So your friends and family can have a snack that mimics the drink. If you are thinking about taking this to an office holiday party, consider pre-portioning the dip into plastic cups (or fun holiday mugs!), so everyone is not dipping from the same dish.
These might just be the classiest looking cookies, and they will certainly look beautiful among your other holiday cookies. You can opt for any jam or spread to go in between the cookies, but raspberry jam is the classic selection. And you definitely should not skip the powdered sugar because it adds a lovely snowy effect!
Consider using a festive cookie cutter like a pine tree, snowflake, candy cane, or snowman to make the little “window” for the top cookie. This will add even more wow factor to your beautiful cookies!
