Tips for Making Thanksgiving Treats for Kids
Keep It Simple
Thanksgiving treats for kids don’t have to include fancy ingredients. Think candy corn, marshmallows as ‘pilgrim hats,’ pretzels as turkey feathers, and chocolate chips! Use ingredients you probably already have in your kitchen to keep things simple. The easier, the better!
Go for Kid-Friendly Flavors
Pecan pie and other complex flavors might not be as exciting for the kids as they are for the adults. When it comes to Thanksgiving treats for kids, opt for simple, delicious flavors like chocolate, caramel, marshmallow, or vanilla. The little ones will happily gobble them up without a second thought!
Think Bite-Sized
This isn’t just for the kids—it’s for you too! Think cookies, cake pops, and grab-and-go, bite-sized treats that kids can hold in one hand or pop in their mouth. Plus, they’re perfect for keeping the mess under control and are just the right size for little hands (and big ones too!).
Go Big on Decoration
Remember, kids eat with their eyes first! The more colorful and fun the treat looks, the better! Add candy eyes, colorful sprinkles, or mini marshmallows to make the treats really pop!
