Christmas is creeping up awfully fast this year. If you’re like me, then you’re inspired to make holiday themed goodies, but don’t have a lot of extra time to spend in the kitchen baking up treats from scratch. Don’t get me wrong, I always make up a few batches of Christmas cookies and the occasional pie around the holidays, but anything extra is seriously a tight squeeze with wrapping presents, decorating and meal planning— it’s amazing that I even have time for that!
This year I’m taking a simpler approach and I’m putting together a few fun, kid-friendly recipes that take no time at all to prepare. The first treat I’m making are these extremely cute powdered sugar Snowman Donut Pops— with no cooking involved and only a few ingredients, they’ll be a hit at any holiday party or get together.
