Who is sick of always being one-upped by that one aunt who never fails to make the best dessert on the table? Yeah, me.
This year, let’s not let that happen. Let’s show everyone who is boss and make some freakin’ delicious and drool-worthy desserts for the holidays.
Spoon is coming in clutch and is going to set the table this season. Bake one (or all) of these Spoon recipes to impress your family, friends and Santa.
1. Red Velvet Oreo Truffles
Red velvet is just so festive. No one is going to turn down crushed up Oreos covered in chocolate. Plus, you get bonus points for using Santa’s favorite color.
2. Strawberry Shortcake Kabobs
When it comes time for dessert after a holiday dinner, my mind jumps to one of two things: Strawberry Shortcake or a Brownie Sundae. Construct these little shortcake bites ahead of time and be ready to go when dessert time comes!
3. Fluffernutter Brownie Cup
Everyone loves a classic, fudgey brownie. But, why not dress it up this year and add some peanut butter and marshmallow fluff? You’ll be voted family member of the year if you decide to make these bad boys.
4. Homemade Ice Cream
Anyone can pick up a tub of Breyer’s, but you, you’re special. Knock everyone’s socks off with some easy to make, homemade ice cream.
5. Berry Parmesan Oat Crumble
Perfect to place underneath your homemade ice cream is this berry filled crumble.
6. Santa Baby Sugar Cookies
Let Santa’s spirit follow you all the way to the dessert table this year. Sugar cookies are always a good idea.
7. Funfetti Fudge
It doesn’t have to be your birthday to eat funfetti. Bring this fudge to any gathering and you’ll be the talk of and cause of the party.
8. Chocolate Meringue Pie
Everyone knows that the dessert table isn’t fully dressed without a pie. If you’re family is full of chocolate lovers, you best be getting to the grocery store to pick up some cocoa powder for this pie.
9. Gingerbread Fudge
Instead of gingerbread cookies, how about some gingerbread fudge to switch it up? Heck, it’s 2016 – anything can happen!
10. Banana Bread + Nutella Swirl
Banana bread isn’t your typical holiday dessert, but this isn’t your typical banana bread either. This banana bread has a twist, a twist of Nutella to be exact.
11. Peppermint Chocolate Pretzels
Sweet and salty (but mostly sweet, of course). Sometimes the simplest treats are the tastiest, don’t go overboard!
12. Dark Chocolate Pistachio Bark
Nuts and chocolate are one of the better combos that we have in this world. Even though this recipe calls for raisins, I’d nix those and throw in some chocolate chips.
13. Cherry Dump Cake
This cake only has 4 ingredients, but everyone will be talking about it for 4 lifetimes. Cherries + cake mix + butter + almonds = the dessert of your dreams.
14. Chocolate Marshmallow Sticks
You wanna be awarded the little kids favorite cousin? Dip some marshmallows in chocolate and sprinkles and the title is yours.
So if it’s the last minute and you don’t know what to bake, Spoon has your back. I mean hey, Spoon is the everyday food resource for our generation.
