I have always been a HUGE fan of desserts and was born with an overactive sweet tooth. Growing up, my grandma would always create fun, just-for-kids desserts for me and my siblings. One of my favorites was monster toast we painted with food coloring and would douse in butter, cinnamon, and sugar. Any opportunity to throw together sugar, vanilla, and candy bits, I’m IN!
Do your kids enjoy fun, kid-friendly desserts? Here are 6 fun desserts for kids:

1. No-Bake Monster Cookie Bars
Anything with the word “monster” in it will get your kids excited! And anything with the word “no-bake” makes this mama happy! This is a win-win dessert for the whole family. All you need is peanut butter, m&m’s, chocolate, and oats to make this recipe work!

Unicorns are all the rage right now! This popcorn is what I plan to make for my daughter’s Unicorn-themed birthday party that’s coming up. Not only will it be a tasty treat, but it looks pretty magical, too!

3. Rainbow Wands
These rainbow wands are the perfect combination of a sweet and salty snack! Just dip pretzel sticks into candy coating and then let your kids choose what sprinkles or colored candy pieces to shake over the top.

4. Mud Pudding
This was and is one of my favorite desserts! Vanilla pudding is easy to make and all you need to do is add cookie crumbles and bury gummy words into the Oreo “dirt.” As a kid, I loved unburying and pretending to eat the worms! Now I just love the chocolatey taste of the pudding and Oreos mixed together.

5. Monster Cookies
These treats are adorably frightening. Choose a variety of fun colors and then add in candy eyeballs to create the “monster” look. I can picture my kids giggling as they eat these right up!

6. Mermaid Ice Cream
Superman ice cream was popular, but now mermaid ice cream is taking over! You see, mermaids are as trendy as unicorns right now, and your kids will want to jump on the bandwagon! Whip together heavy cream, sweetened condensed milk and some vanilla extract. To make it “mermaid ice cream,” split the mixture into 4 bowls and mix in food coloring like teal and purple in several shades. For all the details on this recipe, check out homemadeinterest.com.
