The festive season is synonymous with delightful treats, and the recent video showcased the preparation of five simple yet delicious Christmas treats. With humor and creativity, the host brought excitement to the kitchen, making it seem like even Frosty the Snowman could whip these up, despite his questionable arm situation.
Treat #1: Snowman Pretzel Treats
To start, the team prepared Snowman Pretzel Treats, which only required three key ingredients: white almond bark, pretzel sticks, and wax paper. The process began with melting the almond bark in the microwave for a quick and easy way to achieve a smooth texture.
While one person melted the chocolate, the other prepped the pretzel sticks, emphasizing the importance of selecting regular-sized pretzels over thinner options. Once the almond bark was melted, they dipped the pretzel sticks to create the snowman's arms, before moving on to decoration.
Treat #2: Reindeer Pretzels
Next on the agenda was the Reindeer Pretzels, which took the same pretzel sticks but added a fun twist. The ingredients included chocolate almond bark, cinnamon drops, and candy eyeballs.
The method involved melting the chocolate and crafting the reindeer shape using two pretzel sticks to represent the antlers. The chocolate formed the head, which was then adorned with candy eyeballs, transforming plain pretzels into festive reindeer faces. The thrill of decorating these delightful snacks was infectious, leaving everyone eager to taste the creations.
Treat #3: Mini Reese’s and Hershey Kisses
The third treat was incredibly simple and required only mini Reese’s Cups and Hershey Kisses. The process involved dipping these chocolates in almond bark and then coating them in festive sprinkles. This quick and easy dessert provided a satisfying and sweet addition to the holiday lineup.
An annual favorite, Candy Cane Crunch combined Rice Chex, the same white almond bark, and crushed candy canes. The preparation began with melting the almond bark while simultaneously crushing the candy canes using a mini food chopper.
Once ready, the melted almond bark was poured over the Rice Chex, mixed thoroughly, and spread out to dry. This crunch was described as a classic holiday treat, perfect for sharing with family and friends.
Treat #5: Saltine Cracker Candy
The last creation was a Saltine Cracker Candy, inspired by Paula Deen’s recipe. This indulgent concoction began with melting butter and brown sugar in a pot, which was then poured over a layer of saltine crackers laid out on a pan.
After a quick bake in the oven, the melted mixture was topped with semi-sweet chocolate chips, milk chocolate chips, toffee pieces, and chopped pecans before being placed back into the oven for a brief warm-up. The result resembled a crunchy candy bar, combining the salty crackers with layers of sweetness—a true crowd-pleaser.
Conclusion
Following the preparation of all five treats, the team unanimously agreed on the Candy Cane Crunch as a favorite, though all of the creations were a hit. The festive atmosphere, laughter, and easy-to-follow recipes highlighted not only the joy of cooking during the holidays but also the spirit of togetherness.
As the video wrapped up, the sentiment for the simplicity of these festive treats resonated, proving that anyone can join in on the fun of holiday baking—even Frosty! With years of tradition and memories created in the kitchen, these treats could easily become a staple in holiday celebrations for years to come.
