easy dessert recipes // for new year’s eve and everyday parties

In my New Year’s Eve fantasies, I wear a sparkly dress and beautiful shoes, stay up all night dancing, and sleep in as long as I want the next morning.

In my New Year’s Eve realities, I’m staying home in my pajamas, reading a book on the couch, and hoping to keep my eyes open just long enough to see the ball drop.

One thing that is mandatory no matter what my New Year’s Eve plans? Snacks. Yummy, delicious, easy snacks. And Walmart has all the Kraft items I need for my New Year’s Eve party at home, so it didn’t take all afternoon to get ready. One-stop shopping is where it’s at, folks.

In one quick trip, I was able to grab everything I needed to make some tasty party treats and delicious adult beverages. In our house, we’ll snack all evening with the girls and then once they go to bed, Mommy will pour a glass of something sweet and really live it up.

And by “really live it up,” I mean fall asleep while reading a book before I brush my teeth.

So whether you’re entertaining ten of your closest friends or just hanging with family, try these out on your crowd and you’ll ring in the New Year on everyone’s best side.

And the best part of the evening (in my opinion)! There are so many ways to make Welch’s Sparkling Juices into a new favorite adult drink. The options are endless, but here are some of my favorites:

4 parts Sparkling Cranberry + 1 part raspberry gin

4 parts Sparkling Red Grape + 1 part run

4 parts Sparkling White Grape + 1 part whiskey

2 parts any Sparkling Juice + 2 parts moscato wine

As an extra festive topper, I took a little Cool Whip and a drop or two of mint extract, mixed it together, put it on top of the drinks, and then because I was feeling fancy, threw on a little gold sprinkles. The holidays just seem to call for a little extra sparkle, right?

So whether you’re in for the evening or partying at a friend’s party, make sure your belly is full and warm with these great treats!
