75 Easy No Bake Christmas Candy Recipes
Homemade Christmas candy evokes memories of previous Christmases, sampling sweet Christmas treats while hanging around a table and enjoying the cozy feeling much more than the Christmas puzzle Mom insists on doing every year. I reached out to fellow bloggers and gathered my favorite easy-to-make Christmas candies to share with you.
Whether you want to make sweet homemade Christmas candy for edible gifts, add to pretty Christmas trays, or enjoy yourself, you come to the right place.
Tips for the Best Christmas Candy
Before we jump into the candy recipes, here are a few things to consider.
Tips
- Storage: Most Homemade candy can be stored in a cool, dry space in a sealed container. Some candy needs to be kept in the fridge.
- Wrapped tightly and sealed well most homemade candy can be frozen for up to 3 months or maybe long. Check the recipe to be sure.
- Special Equipment: Some recipes require a candy mold or a candy thermometer, but for most of these recipes you need a large pot, measuring cups, and parchment paper.
- Giving Edible Candy Gifts: You took the time to make something yourself, so spend a little more time to make it extra special. A few simple embellishments will make your homemade gift even more special. It does not need to be expensive, a quick trip to the Dollar Tree for simple containers, cellophane bags, ribbons, and tags is all you need.
Grab a coffee and pen and paper, I am certain there are several recipes here you will want to make for your loved ones this year. Enjoy.
