Ever since I was little, I always remembered having an amazing Holiday treat tray at our family gatherings.

My grandma would make the most delicious cookies and candies and then put them on a festive plate for all of us to snack on BEFORE dinner.

I always thought it was amazing that we got the eat off of the treat tray and munch on the candy in the snowman candy bowls before we had our dinner. That’s every kids dream, right?

For most of my adult life, I have made my own special treat trays to bring to family gatherings and to take to work to share with coworkers. I have a day each year where all I do is bake and make candies.

It’s safe to say that’s one of my favorite days of the year! I put on my Christmas apron, turn on the Christmas tunes, and make ALL the treats I can think of.

Below are some of the treats I add to my Holiday treat tray every year. I hope you enjoy them as much as my family does!

Brownie Truffles

These gluten free, vegan, rich, and fudgy brownie truffles are one of my favorite Christmas time treats. You can decorate them with so many different types of cute garnishes! Coconut flakes and sprinkles are some of my favorites!

Cut out Cookies

These gluten free and vegan cut out cookies taste amazing and are super easy to make! They are the perfect treat to make for the Holidays!

No Bake Cookies

No Bake Cookies have been one of my all time favorite cookies since I was little. There is just something so magical about the peanut butter and chocolate combination and they are so easy to make.

They are always a huge hit even with the modifications to make them gluten free, vegan, and refined sugar free. No one can tell the difference!

Peanut Clusters

These gluten free & vegan peanut clusters are so easy to make and take almost no time at all to put together. The salty crunch you get from the peanuts combined with the rich chocolate flavor is delicious!

These gluten free and vegan chocolate covered peanut butter pretzel bites are AMAZING! The sweet peanut butter filling with the salty crunch of the pretzel, all dipped in chocolate just can’t be beat!

Brownie Cookies

Cocoa Puppy Chow

This gluten free and dairy free cocoa puppy chow is delicious! It tastes exactly like the traditional puppy chow I was used to growing up!

Chocolate Chip Cookie Dough Truffles

This cookie dough is so decadent and rich that I couldn’t believe it was also gluten free, vegan, and mostly refined sugar free. It’s so easy to make and can be made into truffles or just eaten by the spoonful.

Candied Almonds

I love making these candied almonds around the holidays. They are so delicious and taste so much like the candied almonds I used to get from the fair. The best part is that they are refined sugar free making them so much healthier than traditional candied almonds!

Oreo Truffles

These gluten free and dairy free “Oreo” Truffles are SO decadent and taste incredible! They taste just like traditional Oreo truffles and are perfect for your next Holiday party!

Gingerbread Cookies

This gluten free and vegan gingerbread is the perfect treat to make around the Holidays. The warm spices and soft texture are wonderful! The gingerbread dough works perfectly for making your own gingerbread house or gingerbread cookies!
