If you want to make Christmas even more fun for your little ones, and those young at heart, you will adore these easy ideas for Christmas treats. Not only are they really easy to make, but they are also bite-size treats so you don’t need to worry about waste.

Oreo pops

You can make some really fun Oreo pops by simply securing lollipop sticks in between the two biscuit pieces. White chocolate is usually great for helping secure the stick in place. Now you can stick on accessories like eyes and a red nose made from fondant and some antlers made from mini pretzels to create Rudolph. You can also dip half of the cookie in some white chocolate and draw a squiggly green Christmas tree on the cookie. Decorate the tree with some sprinkles and a tiny sugar star. Display these Christmas treats in clear glasses on the table for guests to help themselves.

Brownie Christmas trees

Bake your brownies as per usual. While they are baking and cooling, you can make your Christmas trees. You will need to colour white chocolate green using oil or powder-based colouring. Pipe the green chocolate in a zigzag pattern to create Christmas trees. Pipe them on top of a pretzel stick. Decorate the trees while the chocolate is still soft. Use sprinkles to decorate these Christmas treats. Once the chocolate has solidified, you can insert the tree into the brownie.

Festive fruit salad

This is one of the healthiest of all Christmas treats. All you need is several slices of kiwi, cut in half and one piece cut in a rectangular shape (for the tree trunk). Place the rectangular piece at the bottom of the plate and arrange the half slices of kiwi on either side to create a Christmas tree. Now decorate with blueberries and raspberries.

Celery reindeer

Cut celery stalks and fill them with peanut butter. Add raspberries for noses, mini pretzels for antlers and make eyes using fondant or chocolate. You can get creative with these ingredients depending on what you have in your home and your personal preferences.

Chocolate strawberry trees

Dip strawberries in green-coloured chocolate before decorating with sprinkles. Make sure that you place them flat side down so that they maintain their perfect shape on all sides. You can even use a toothpick to make dipping easier. Place these cute Christmas treats on top of some cookies (like Oreos) to finish the design.

Fruity Santas

Another delicious option for Christmas treats requires just a few basic ingredients and some toothpicks. Place a slice of banana on the toothpick and place a green grape on one end with a strawberry on the other end. On top of the strawberry, add a mini marshmallow to complete the holiday hat.

These are a few delicious and fantastic ideas for Christmas treats that you can make and even get your children involved. It’s also an excellent way of encouraging them to eat fruit during this time of year when sweets and chocolates are the more popular choice.
