Christmas time is finally here! If you’re a broke college kid like me, sometimes the best gift you can get (and afford to) give is food. Here’s a short list of my top favorite Christmas desserts on a budget.
Hot chocolate dip
If you like me have a ton of different Christmas parties to go to, but not a ton of funds to bring food, this is the dessert for you. With only 3 ingredients (and a side of graham crackers) this dip is super easy to make! All you need to do is mix marshmallow fluff, Cool Whip, and hot chocolate powder together in a bowl, and boom, a scrumdiddlyumptious dip for you and your friends to enjoy!
Sugar cookies
A classic of course, but I feel like it deserves to have a place on this list! Any recipe online works for this dessert. You can even save frosting them for later as a fun activity to do with your friends, family, or significant other.
Pretzel jello
To be honest, I’ve never made this before, but I have had the pleasure of demolishing it! Everyone loves jello and everyone loves pretzels. If you wanna be extra fancy, pop some fruit in the jello pretzel whip mixture and you’ll be thanking me later!
Chocolate eclair cake
This is super easy and no oven is needed. Just graham crackers, Cool Whip, and pudding layered then boom you have a cake!
Christmas Crack
Once again another graham cracker-related dessert. Christmas crack is a layer of graham cracker, caramel, and chocolate frozen together and topped with whatever you see fit!
This concludes my short list of my favorite Christmas desserts. Whether you are hosting or attending a Christmas event this holiday season, these desserts are guaranteed to turn heads without emptying your wallet!
