Tips for making these easy treats with kids

• Make sure to get as much of the chocolate to drip off the cracker before setting it on the parchment paper. I like to tap the edge of the fork on the bowl a few times.
• At room temperature, it takes a while for the chocolate to set so you can dip quite a few before you start decorating.
• You can decorate these for any theme you want! Just change up the sprinkles!

Easter Cookie Truffles

I have a massive sweet tooth. My kids have learned to guard the desserts in our house because they have been known to disappear after bedtime or while the kids are in school.

My biggest weakness? Chocolate. To be exact, chocolate sandwich cookies. Specifically Newman-Os. Seriously, they’re like Oreos…but better.

This super easy cookie truffles recipe is made with chocolate sandwich cookies. You can use Oreos, Newman-Os, or generic.

Dip the balls in fun pastel-colored chocolate and you have an Easter treat that kids will love…and you’ll want to create a secret stash.

Can you just see these beautiful cookie balls on a platter at your Easter brunch or a fun spring tea party?

Cheesecake Bites Recipe

My little one has been obsessed with watching kids cooking shows! Her most recent favorite, Kids Baking Championship.

But, there are two big problems. 1. She isn’t a chef and 2. We don’t have the pantry that they have on the show.

Last 4th of July we created a simple cheesecake dip and we had similar ingredients around. So today we created these amazing little bite-sized desserts.

The simplicity of this recipe is what makes it perfect for kids to make or a last-minute dessert. Unlike traditional cheesecake recipes, It doesn’t require sour cream, melted butter, or even to be baked in a mini muffin pan. (I despise having to clean those!)

These cheesecake bites are the perfect amount of sweetness and easy enough that even a toddler could create them!

While a standard cheesecake bite recipe involves melting and baking and several ingredients, these are so simple that a toddler can make them!

Tips For Making Strawberry Cheesecake Bites:

Making these quick treats is so simple. They are perfect for kids to make. (side note they can totally be created by adults too! Why should the kiddos have all the fun?)

There is only one thing you might need to do for your kiddo and that is slice up the strawberries. It really depends on their age and ability in the kitchen.

The amount of bites you make is up to you. Just keep the ratio below and you can create a double batch or a whole platter of simple cheesecake bites.

If you don’t have whipped cream cheese, you can use room-temperature cream cheese and whip it well with a hand mixer before adding the brown sugar to it.

Little hands can use a spoon to spread the cheesecake mixture.

Adults can use a butter knife or even a piping bag.

Kids will love arranging the fruit on top. This recipe uses fresh strawberries. But it’s super easy to swap them out for your child’s favorite toppings. Try these fun alternatives!

• chocolate coating or chocolate chips
• powdered sugar
• raspberries
• cherry pie filling

These no bake cheesecake bites are so delicious and quite a bit better for you than a slice of a traditional cheesecake. When your little one can make a treat that tastes and looks this good they will be so excited to hand them out.

You can serve them in a variety of settings:

• After school snack
• Classroom party
• Holiday party
• Watch party
• 4th of July or Canada Day

Yield: 7 Bites

1. Start by prepping your white melting chocolate by cutting it into squares that fit on your pretzels.
2. You will also need to cut some of your candies in half. Using a sharp knife saw back and forth a few times and then press straight down.
3. Place your pretzels on a microwave-safe plate and add a piece of chocolate on each.
4. Heat them in the microwave. Times may be different based on the style of chocolate you buy. Start at 30 seconds and work your way up. You want your chocolate soft to the touch, but not melted all over your plate.
5. Place a full circle candy on your chocolate and lightly press down. 
6. Then, using your halved candies, add a couple bunny ears!
7. Once the chocolate has set they are ready to enjoy! You can place them in the fridge to speed up this process.
