Homemade Sweets You Can Bake On Your Own
If you are anything like me, then every once in a while you will get a sweet tooth in the middle of the night when all the stores are inconveniently closed. Or if you simply are just not a fan of the sweets they make in the dessert section of most stores and want a homey feel to your sweets, then look no further! Here are some homemade sweets you can bake on your own time!
Peanut Butter Bars
These are some of the easiest to make homemade sweets you’ll probably ever come across. And the best part? You don’t really even need to bake them. All you will need is butter, graham cracker crumbs, peanut butter (of course), powdered sugar, and chocolate chips! That’s only five ingredients! Once you have everything in order and have these bars assembled, just stick them in the freezer and you have got yourself a homemade sweet to die for!
Chocolate Caramel Pretzel Bark
Chocolate caramel pretzel bark sounds difficult to make, but it truly is one of the simplest recipes to try and it takes nearly no time at all to complete it. All you will need is chocolate (any kind, really), caramel, and you guessed it, pretzels. Grab yourself a cookie sheet, set down some parchment paper, and combine it all by layering the pretzels, chocolate, and caramel onto it. Give it a good few minutes to bake, then wait another few to let it cool. Using barely any effort at all, these homemade sweets will make you wish you had heard of this recipe earlier.
Chewy Chocolate Brownies
Brownies will always be a classic, and baking them yourself at home in your own kitchen makes it that much more rewarding when you eat them afterwards. Brownies will always need a little more attention and care when it comes to actually baking them, but as I said before, it will be worth it after taking them out of the oven. If you happen to have ice cream in your freezer, just slap some on top and you have got yourself a grade A homemade sweet!
Sundae
While this homemade dessert may seem a bit basic, who doesn’t love a good old fashioned sundae? Ice cream is already great on its own, but add some bananas, whip cream, and chocolate syrup and you have got yourself a fine dessert that took barely any effort at all. For some added flavor, grab yourself some nuts or sprinkles to give your sundae that delicious crunch!
Easy Homemade Churros
Didn’t think you could make churros at home? Well, neither did I until recently, and boy was I pleasantly surprised at how easy that can be made at home. This is one of the many homemade sweets out there that will take a little more effort when it comes to putting all the ingredients together, but it will all be worth it in the end once you have that deliciously sweet and crunchy desert. All you will need is water, butter, granulated sugar, pure vanilla extract, all-purpose flour, kosher salt, 2 large eggs, and some cinnamon sugar! To make your churros even more delicious, melt some chocolate to create a dipping sauce for them!
Fruit Pizza
This homemade sweet is not only easy to make, but can also be considered healthy for you! If you have not heard of fruit pizza, then you are definitely missing out. But don’t worry, I am here to enlighten you. Fruit pizza is a basically soft sugar cookie crust with a cream cheese frosting that is topped off with the fruit of your choosing. All you have to do to assemble such a dessert is grab yourself a cookie crust, layer it with cream cheese frosting, and add those slices of fruits. To make the consistency taste better, stick your creation in the fridge for an hour or so. You won’t be disappointed with the result if you give this homemade sweet a try!
Rice Krispie Treats
Making rice Krispie treats at home is a right of passage for any baker out there. If you do not know how to make them, trust me, it is super simple and super rewarding afterwards. One of the many perks of this dessert is takes it only needs a couple of ingredients and ten to twenty minutes of prep time. To create these treats, grab a large saucepan and melt some butter over low heat. Add some marshmallows and stir until they are melted. Once that’s done, take them off the stove and add in those rice Krispie treats and stir until everything it mixed together! Give these treats a try if you are looking for something that is super sweet and super crunchy!
Homemade Oreos
This is yet another desert I was surprised you could make at home. While it would be easier to simply buy a box of them from the store, if you happen to be craving some at 1am and have the ingredients to make it, give this homemade sweet a try!
Peanut Brittle
For all of you peanut butter lovers out there, this is a dessert for you. For this homemade sweets, all you will need is six ingredients, plus roasted peanuts, and your stove top! Peanut brittle is the ultimate midnight snack and is super satisfying to bite into. Just make sure you don’t leave it sitting out too long! You might accidentally chip a tooth!
