Fun Treats to Make With Your Kids to Gift Others
The holiday season is fast approaching and if you’re anything like us, you probably have an ever-growing list of things you need to get done before Christmas. And a huge part of that list is always Christmas shopping.
This year, we want to share some fun treats that you can make with your kids to gift to others. Save yourself a trip to the store and give your friends, neighbors, and loved ones thoughtful homemade gifts.
Before you get baking, shop our Christmas pajamas and matching aprons to make things even sweeter! We’re pretty sure it’s been proven that memories are even more precious when they're made in matching bamboo pajamas.

6 Fun Treats to Make With Your Kids to Gift Others
When putting together this list of recipes, we wanted to find treats that are easy to make and that travel well! You don’t want dessert falling apart on the walk to the neighbor's house. Hopefully, there’s something for everyone on this list – and we truly hope that you and your little ones have the best time making them together.
Crispy Crunchy Brownie Brittle
Brittle is such a good holiday treat to make with your kids. It travels well and we can assure you that this brownie brittle is going to be loved by all. You might have seen this treat in the grocery store, but we’ve found a copycat recipe that is easy to make at home.
Let your little ones get involved with breaking the brittle into pieces! Even easier than making brownies from scratch, you’ll have this holiday gift ready in under 40 minutes. Follow along with the recipe from The Kitchn.
Peppermint Snowball Cookies

Easy, Kid-Friendly Cinnamon Rolls
Cinnamon rolls are my family’s Christmas tradition. Every year, before we were allowed to open presents, my mom would drive us around the neighborhood to deliver Christmas morning cinnamon rolls to neighbors and people in need. As an adult, we’ve continued the tradition of eating cinnamon rolls every year on Christmas morning.
This easy, kid-friendly recipe can help you start the cinnamon roll tradition in your own home. Patricia from Grab a Plate has shared a recipe that the whole family can get involved with making. Make sure to follow her easy cinnamon roll instructions.
Homemade Fluffy Marshmallows
Transform hot cocoas this Christmas with homemade fluffy marshmallows! This is one of the cutest and most unique recipes we found this year – and it makes an adorable Christmas gift for all your neighbors and friends. Plus – it’s so much easier than you think. Sweet, soft, and flavorful, these marshmallows are so much nicer than anything you can get at the supermarket.
Whip up 30 giant marshmallows in under 30 minutes with this recipe from My Baking Addiction. And if you’re feeling really creative, you could try this eggnog version from The Kitchn.
Christmas Eve Chex Mix
This recipe is beloved in our household. It takes about an hour to bake and 15 minutes to set and makes 12 cups, so you’ll definitely want to make a couple of batches if you’re gifting it. This is such an easy recipe that everyone will enjoy!
You can easily get the kids involved by dumping everything into your pan, stirring everything together, and bagging it up for your friends and neighbors. This holiday gift and treat couldn’t be any easier. You can grab the recipe from Half Baked Harvest.

Why not let the kids decorate the Christmas cookies this year? These easy-to-make classic sugar cookies are the perfect holiday treat to gift this year. We love the idea of letting the kids decorate!
