Ringing In The New Year!

It is no secret that I am anxious to wave goodbye to 2016!

If you're like me, and surrounded by littles on New Year's Eve

{my favorite place to be!},

you'll love these super easy, kid-friendly, party treats.

Jello Dessert Cups:

We pick up "fancy" champagne glasses at the Dollar Store.

Make up your favorite flavor of Jello, but instead of using the full amount of water, replace 1/2 with Sprite or Ginger Ale.

Pour into cups, let set, and decorate with whipped cream and sprinkles.

Remember Oreo Cakesters??  

I can't find them anymore, but they were delish!

I melted white chocolate chips, and dipped the cakesters in the melted chocolate.

Then decorate with sprinkles and more frosting.

You could change it up a bit with any hostess dessert :)

My girls love these Orangesicles.

Contrary to what the photo would have you believe, there is no actual orange in it.

I fill a glass with ice, splash in a small amount of cream or half and half, then fill the rest of the way with orange soda.  Top with whipped cream and sprinkles.

More of these delicious Jello Dessert Cups!

Pepperoni and Cheese Stuffed Pretzel Bites.

This year we will be making super yummy individual layered dip cups &

turkey, bacon, cheddar, and chive roll ups!

I'd better get busy!

A Brand New Year!

 

I am wading through hundreds of Christmas photos right now, but in the

meantime... It's almost time to ring in a new year!!

If snacks, treats, and other goodies on your mind too, here are a few ideas for you (and don't worry, calories don't count when you are saying goodbye to a whole year!)

 

We just made these yummy treats 

(That my 5 year old insisted could double as treats for a Frozen Party):

  All you need is a package of Oreos

(crushed), and an 8oz package of cream cheese. Roll together into balls, and then coat with your choice of candy melts and sprinkles.

 

 

A few years ago we made these: 

 

Oh good heavens, they were delicious!

  You need vanilla candy melts and Oreo Cakesters... Do they make these anymore? Because I haven't seen them recently. 

  Once dipped they're super fun to decorate!!

And last year it was these Jell-O Parfaits:

  Just prepare Jell-O per box instructions, but substitute Ginger Ale for the Cold Water. You'll, of course, want to top with whipped cream and sprinkles!

What are your New Year's Eve plans??
