This Christmas I am teaming up with Tastykake for a “Tasty Traditions” collab where we are sharing some *festive* and SIMPLE ideas to create treats for the holidays – and the BEST part – the whole family can join in on the fun!! Whether you’re hosting and these are easy finger desserts or if you want them to be given as a token of appreciation this season, Tastykake is simplifying the holiday preparations by creating these adorable and inexpensive recipes!! These treats can be found at major grocery and convenience store locations nationwide! To find products nearest you, visit www.Tastykake.com/product-locator.
If you know me, you know I am NOT the biggest chef or baker. But these Tastykake recipes were SO easy to make that I actually had FUN in the kitchen! The ingredient list is short and I think it took around 10 minutes for each of my recipes. Everyone has 10 minutes to spare for a sweet holiday goodie to give out or to have while hosting.

Watching Christmas through Harper’s eyes this year has been so amazing, but it has also made me want to start doing more traditions. I love Tastykake’s new “Tasty Traditions” campaign and how they are encouraging people to get the whole family involved through these fun recipes – this is going to become something we do every year. Next time I makes these, Harper is joining in on the fun (no matter how MESSY it gets!). Check out Tastykake on Instagram @Tastykake for more fun ideas!
Huge thank you to TastyKake for sponsoring this blog post<3!!
