Hosting a sweet swap is a great way to get friends together and try out a few new desserts. This is a simple event, since your guests will be contributing some of the foods you’ll be enjoying! You pick the date and time, set the space, and invite your favorite people over for an evening of sweets and snacks!
Let your friends know ahead of time that they get to contribute a plate to the event. If anyone has allergies, make others aware of those as well. Ask guests to bring copies of their recipe to share with others at the party.
Prepare a way for guests to take home their treats. We recommend using a small box or a plate with plastic wrap.
Set the mood! Play holiday themed music, turn the lights low and light some candles! This creates a fun atmosphere for a holiday event.
Wondering what treat to make? We found these recipes that we think you’ll love.
These cookies from Vintage Revivals are a shortbread style cookie with a sweet pink frosting! The recipe makes a ton of cookies, so it’s perfect for sharing. The cookies are best served cold, so making these ahead of time works well. Let them chill while you decorate for the event!
The classic Peanut Butter Kiss Cookie (this one comes from Eating on a Dime) will certainly be a hit at your party. They aren’t very labor intensive, and they are always a crowd-pleaser.
To get your guests to really fall in love, make these caramel butter bars from Cookies and Cups. They require a few extra steps, like baking the crust and melting the caramel, but after one bite it will all be worth it. There’s a lot of butter in this recipe which makes it the perfect indulgent dessert for the holidays! We hope you enjoy these recipes! Thanks for reading Willow Hill Blog. We hope you have a great week here in Puyallup, WA!
