Picture this: it’s the night before your child’s birthday party, and you just realized that you don’t have any sweets or desserts to serve to all the kids. You’ve made enough burgers and french fries to feed an army, but you’re dreading the moment when the tiny army in your house starts to ask for something sugary, and you’ve got nothing.
Fear not, because we’ve put together this list of 2 easy desserts to make for your kid’s birthday party! We’ve made sure to include ingredients that you might already have lying around the house. The best part about these desserts is that you can quickly whip them up the night before the party, and you can go to bed without feeling exhausted.
Here are two easy dessert recipes for a kid’s birthday party:
- A Sweet Charcuterie Board
In case you don’t have time to stand at the kitchen counter and whip up a few sweet treats, you can quickly put together a sweet charcuterie board for the little ones to have fun with. Just make sure that you use a large platter or board that isn’t breakable!
All you need for the charcuterie board is various candies that your convenience store probably already sells.
Ingredients:
- Marshmallows
- Chocolate chip cookies that are broken into small pieces
- Mini pretzels
- Caramel or salted popcorn
- A big bowl of melted chocolate
- Meringue cookies
Please note that the ingredients mentioned above are only ideas! You can include as many or as few sweet treats as you want, and you can swap out some of the candy for fresh fruit, like strawberries and blueberries. A sweet charcuterie board is a wonderful way to trick kids into eating fruit by making them believe that they’re eating candy!
We’ve also recommended the charcuterie board because it’s an interactive dessert choice that allows children to choose what sweets they want to eat.
- Easy-Peasy Chocolate Chip Cookies
Chocolate chip cookies are one of the best desserts to make, especially when you have to serve a crowd of young children. We’ve chosen to include this quick recipe because you can make a massive batch of cookies the night before the party and bake them in the morning, or bake them the night before and store them in an airtight container until it’s time to serve.
We love this recipe because it’s quick, simple, and unbelievably delicious.
