Yesterday, the ladies of my family and I had a baking PALOOZA. We literally made 10 different types of Christmas treats… so you can say our bellies were full and we were all suffering from sugar comas 😂
I posted snapshots on Instagram throughout the day of everything we were baking, and I had an ENORMOUS amount of people ask for the recipes… So- I’m here to deliver! 😍

Christmas “trash”

- 2 cups M&Ms
- 2 cups pretzels
- 2 cups cheerios
- one package white almond bark
Instructions:
Mix all snacks together. In large bowl, melt almond bark according to package. Pour over snack mixture until it is all covered by the chocolate. lay out on wax paper and let cool!
Grinch Kabobs
Ingredients:
- green grapes
- bananas
- strawberries
- mini marshmallows
- shis-kabob sticks
Instructions:
This is super simple y’all! The only prep works is to wash your fruits, then cut the tops of the strawberry. The goal is to look like the grinch wearing a Santa hat- so stick on your grape, then banana, then strawberry, then marshmallow… and you’re done!
Rolo Pretzels
Ingredients:
- pretzels
- rolos
- green and red M&Ms
Instructions:
Another super simple one y’all! Preheat your oven to 350 degrees. While it’s preheating, lay out your pretzels onto a cookie sheet. Over each pretzel, place a rolo on top. Stick in the oven for just a few minutes… just until you can tell that the rolos are soft. Take them out of the oven, and press on an M&M gently! Let cool and enjoy!
White Chocolate Peanut Butter Crackers
Ingredients:
- ritz crackers
- peanut butter
- white chocolate almond bark
Instructions:
Simply spread your peanut butter onto one ritz cracker, and place another cracker on top… like shown above! Melt your almond bark in a large bowl. Once you have made all your sandwiches, dip them into the melted white chocolate until fully covered. Let cool and enjoy!
Chocolate Covered Pretzels
Ingredients:
- large rod pretzels
- almond bark (white or dark will work)
- sprinkles/chocolate chips/any toppings you want!
Instructions:
This one is pretty self explanatory… just melt your chocolate, and dip your pretzels into the chocolate! Before the chocolate hardens on the pretzel, sprinkle with whatever toppings you like… I chose Christmas colored sprinkles, chocolate chips, and crushed Ande’s peppermints!
