8 Holiday Bark Recipes That Make Perfect Gifts

by Karly Wood
written by Karly Wood

Being a passionate gift giver, the holidays prove to be both exciting and a careful maneuver of budget-conscious presents every year for me. I always want to bless my family and friends with tokens that demonstrate how much they mean to me, but I’m also not a millionaire. This year, I’ve decided that small, homemade sweet treats like toffee and holiday bark are going to be my avenue for adding to somewhat small gifts that make it possible for me to buy for 19 (NINETEEN) people in my family. I am shocked at how easy holiday bark is to make, and plan on making a list right now for ingredients to get creating. Here are some of my favorite holiday bark recipes that will make the perfect gift.

There’s a little something for everyone in this sweet treat, and is the perfect addition for that tumbler mug you’re giving this year. The best part about this bark is you can easily swap out the candy and sprinkles for whatever season you’re making this for, proving that chocolate bark is best enjoyed year round.

6. Salted Chocolate Cookie Butter Bark

Uhh, did you just say cookie butter!? Sign me UP. This sweet treat is made from a heaping cup of our favorite guilty pleasure that is cooke butter, then MORE butter (the real kind), powdered sugar and chocolate chips. Top with kosher salt and you have the ultimate sweet and savory dessert.

7. Peppermint Reindeer Bark

Rudolph the red-nosed reindeer never looked so delicious! While the majority of these bark is actually more chocolatey (you only use 1 candy cane for the top layer), your kids will love helping you lay out all the reindeers using candy eyes, broken pretzels and candy eyes. This is so adorable and would be a great neighborhood or teacher gift!

8. Healthy Holiday Bark

Consuming tons of sugar around the holidays feels good at first, but it quickly catches up with you and that’s why I had to include at least 1 “healthy” bark recipe in this list. The base starts out with dark chocolate and coconut milk and oil. It’s then drizzled with a homemade matcha topping, then pumpkin seeds and unsweetened coconut oil. This recipe is also paleo and vegan!

7 Easy Toffee Recipes For The Holidays

by Karly Wood
written by Karly Wood

Sugary sweets and the holidays go hand in hand, and some desserts are decidedly more festive than others. Have you ever noticed how we only eat certain foods during certain seasons? Toffee is one of those holiday-specific desserts we tend to reserve for year-end, despite it being so delicious! If you don’t have a ton of time to spend in the kitchen this year, but still want to gift some tasty treats to family and friends, check out these easy toffee recipes that are sure to be a hit.

1. Ritz Cracker Toffee

You type in “easy toffee” and the Ritz Cracker Toffee recipe is the first thing to come up on Pinterest. And that’s because it’s so easy and delicious. Perfect for that little extra gift, Ritz crackers are covered in a melted butter and brown sugar mixture (yep, that’s toffee for you!) and then another layer of chocolate. You can add extra toppings if you’d like, or just revel in the fact that it only took 4 ingredients to whip up this festive treat.

Check out SomethingSwanky.com for this simple and savory recipe!

2. Saltine Toffee

Personally, when I think of easy toffee, this saltine version always comes to mind. Crispy crackers, laden with tons of sugary goodness just sounds like something I can sit down and devour! It doesn’t differ that much from the Ritz cracker version, except for the different cracker of course, but is great if you prefer a saltine over a Ritz.

3. Graham Cracker Toffee

Carrying on in the way of simple toffee recipes, here’s another easy option that merely involves using graham crackers as your base. Lay out the crackers, pour on the toffee mixture and bake. Then add chocolate and nuts, chill and serve. I bet these graham crackers are the perfect mixture of chewy and crisp!

4. Easy Homemade Toffee

No crackers here! This homemade toffee recipe is tried and true, and more like the traditional toffees out there. Almonds are spread on a rimmed baking sheet, topped with the toffee mixture, and then coated with chocolate and almonds. This recipe may take a few extra minutes then the previous ones we’ve found, but it’s no less mouth watering.

5. English Toffee Bites

Forget cracking apart chunks of toffee, with this recipe and a fun brownie bites pan, you’ll have perfectly shaped toffee bites every time. Almonds are layered with thick sections of toffee and then topped with chocolate and more nuts. As I’m sure you’ve noticed by now, there’s not a lot extra that goes into making toffee! I love these no-muss, no fuss bites and can’t wait to sink my teeth into one!

6. Almond Butter Toffee

Don’t be fooled by the name of this recipe, it’s definitely not healthy because of “almond butter.” Instead, it uses tons of butter that are mixed with almonds, and then boiled into toffee. A little corn syrup here, a little vanilla there, and you have an ooey gooey and buttery confection that will beg you to eat the entire pan.

If you feel like making a fancier toffee, then you need this recipe from NoRecipes.com.

Slab Pies You Need To Make For Your Next Family Gathering

by Karly Wood
written by Karly Wood

When it comes to dessert, you are usually a cake or pie person. Sure, you can enjoy them both but you probably prefer one over the other and for me, it’s pie all the way. Now that I think about it, that’s probably a huge part of why I love the holidays, because c’mon- the food. Anyways, pies are wonderful but they are a lot of work when it comes to making your own and they don’t feed that many people. That’s where the slab pie comes in! They are easier and much larger versions of your favorite pies that feed 10+ people, with minimal work. Here are just a handful of slab pies that I think you’ll know and love. Bon appétit!

1. Cranberry Cherry Slab Pie

Goodbye stressful pie making, hello slab pie! This Cranberry Cherry slab pie has all the taste and look of a traditional pie that you’ve spent hours slaving over, but with half the sweat and tears. It’s a semi-sweet dessert that’s perfect for the holidays, serves twice what 1 pie typically feeds, and is oh so gorgeous. Oh, did we mention you can just use store bought crust too? WINNER!

2.  Secret Ingredient Pumpkin Slab Pie

This recipe has TWO secret ingredients, one of which you may never have heard of (I know I didn’t!). I won’t tell you what it is, but there’s no denying this pumpkin slab pie looks seriously divine. Thick layers of pumpkin, buttery crust and that super clever crusted pumpkin on top? Sign me up for this recipe, please!

3. Pecan Slab Pie

HELLO GORGEOUS! Have you ever seen something so beautiful as this crusted pecan slab pie? From the glazed pecans, to the browned crust and those adorable crusted leaves- this pecan pie is a winner in every way. Made with a suprinslgy simple list of ingredients (with pecans playing center stage, of course), this slab pie feeds twice the normal pie amount and is probably the prettiest pie you’ll never make.

4. Chocolate Silk Slab Pie

We always have a chocolate silk pie at our holiday dinner table, because there’s always someone who doesn’t like pumpkin (yeah, I don’t get it either!). This creamy, chocolatey pie is beloved and really satisfies your sweet tooth. A blind baked crust is filled with homemade chocolate filling- both of which use an insane (but tasty) amount of butter and sugar. If you aren’t watching your calories, this slab pie is fair game.

This would be a great dessert to bring to a BBQ, especially served with some whipped topping.
