Bite-Sized Desserts

Bite-Sized Desserts

Its the holiday season, and sometimes it seems like every week theres some kind of celebration or festive gathering to attend or plan or host. Baking the same things can get old pretty quickly. Desserts like pies and cakes are great, but if they dont get eaten completely, its hard to figure out what to do with the leftovers. Its not like you can bag them up and hand them to friends\ coworkers. Thats why making bite-sized desserts can be so much more economical. If there are leftovers (which may be a big if, because bite-sized nibbles tend to go quickly) you can store them and pass them out to friends and family the next day. Or you can take them to work for your office to enjoy. You could even bag them in cute, festive bags, go door-to-door in your neighborhood if youre feeling extra charitable, and share the leftovers as gifts! Here are a few bite-sized dessert recipes to get you started.

Peppermint Hot Chocolate French Macarons

Why not try this little twist on a French classic with these peppermint hot chocolate French macarons? This recipe makes about 12 macarons, so you may want to double or triple the recipe if youre planning on a crowd. But the nice thing is they are relatively easy to make, and they taste completely amazing. We use our almond flour mixed with cocoa powder, egg whites, powdered sugar and granulated sugar for the chocolate macaron shells. The peppermint hot chocolate buttercream filling is homemade, using butter, powdered sugar, peppermint extract and yummy marshmallow fluff. You can also use crushed candy canes to garnish the edges. This gives them even more peppermint and candy flavor, plus it makes them look extra pretty, too! The end result is fun, bite-sized, festive French macarons that your loved ones wont be able to resist.

Low-Carb Cinnamon Sugar Donut Holes

Which is why weve found a substitute for you. These low-carb cinnamon donut holes are perfect to feed that craving while still staying true to a low-carb diet. Plus, these little guys contain protein as well, which is great to help curb hunger through the day. These donut holes are made with almond flour and vanilla protein powder, plus baking powder, your sweetener of choice (just make sure it replaces sugar cup-for-cup) and a pinch of sea salt. The sugar coating is a blend of cinnamon and powdered sweetener and makes you feel as though youre really enjoying something totally decadent.

Hemp Protein Truffles

Continuing with the decadent-yet-nutritious theme, these hemp protein truffles are one bite-sized dessert you wont want to miss out on. They are rich and chocolate-y, yet loaded with protein and fiber, among other goodies.
