Today is sweets day in our Christmas in July party and I’m sharing some really EASY Christmas treat recipes in this post!
I make A LOT of Christmas cookies and candies throughout the holiday season!
So, you know I’m always checking out new recipes! As I’ve mentioned before, I not only make a ton of cookies and treats for my own family, but I also make gift boxes for several members of our family, close friends and neighbors.
That’s a whole lotta treats!

Ice Cream is my biggest downfall and I’ll eat it whenever it’s available.

Seriously! I’m like a little kid.
And this Christmas Cookie Ice Cream from Simply Shellie would be no exception.
In fact, I’m pretty sure it’s going to find it’s way to my freezer…

Easy Microwave Peanut Butter Fudge from InstruPIX
I used this Easy Microwave Peanut Butter Fudge recipe from InstruPix to bring to a party last year and EVERYONE loved it.
It’s so easy to make and requires just 3 ingredients – peanut butter, butter and confectioners sugar. You can add vanilla, if you like or use maple extract to make “Maple Peanut Butter Fudge” instead.
That’s what I did…cause you know I love my maple!
No Bake Peppermint White Chocolate Cheesecakes from Cooking Classy
These No Bake Peppermint White Chocolate Cheesecakes from Cooking Classy are exactly that…classy! And they’re perfect for serving at a “grown-up” Christmas party!
P.S. I don’t think you can beat serving them in these adorable little dessert shot glasses, like she did, either!
Peppermint Patties from The Gunny Sack
Who doesn’t love a York Peppermint Patty? I know I do and so does my family. But, these homemade Peppermint Patties from The Gunny Sack look just as good!
And that sprinkle of crushed peppermint candy on top just does a little something extra for the holidays, doesn’t it?!
Orange Oatmeal Spice Cookies
These Orange Oatmeal Spice Cookies are a family favorite around here and honestly, they are one that is almost always included in our treat boxes.
Everyone that tries them loves them and you’ll love them, too, because not only are they delicious, but they are so simple to make!
Peanut Butter Snowballs from The Foodie Affair
Love Buckeye balls? Take them up a notch by using white chocolate to make these Peanut Butter Snowballs from The Foodie Affair.
They’re adorable, fitting for the season and they taste sooo good!
Chocolate Covered Cherries from Cincy Shopper
My husband LOVES those chocolate cherries that you buy in the box at Christmas time. But for the last few years, it seems the cherries have gotten smaller and smaller.
Have you noticed, too?
This year, let’s try making these Chocolate Covered Cherries from Cincy Shopper instead!
I’m sure they’re much bigger and probably a whole lot better, too!
