25+ Easy Christmas Treats (no bake!) - The Recipe Rebel (2)

Now, I love baking as much as the next person. Especially Christmas baking. But there are times when you gotta go the no bake route.

I love having a slew of options for easy Christmas treats that I can whip up when the holidays come around and it seems like you need to bring a dozen boxes of cookies every time you leave the house.

I’m not g0ing to say that I don’t enjoy holiday baking, but it can be a little overwhelming sometimes with everything else that we have going on. Concerts, parties, family dinners and gatherings, school obligations, church obligations — it’s a crazy time!

Here are some great easy Christmas treats for your holiday “baking”, including cookies, candies, pies, bars, bark and, well, pretty much everything you could ever want for Christmas!

Minus the two front teeth 😉
