Here’s 3 quick easy and quick no-bake, candy recipes that everyone would love to sink their teeth into, receive as a nice gift or display on a cute party tray for your holiday celebration.

I love recipes that don’t take a lot of time, especially during the holidays, because it’s so crazy, busy and hectic, can you relate?  Remember you can always modify any of these recipes, if you don’t have time to get out and get the exact ingredients, and I’ll give you some suggestions along the way.

So #1, is this Smooth Vanilla Bean Fudge 

3 White Chocolate No-Bake Festive Candy Recipes

If you don’t have vanilla bean paste, you can just use vanilla extract.  I love using the vanilla bean paste and vanilla though, it just gives it an extra layer of vanilla essence that is really heavenly, in my book.

3 White Chocolate No-Bake Festive Candy Recipes

I used candied cherries to give it a pop of color.  They are sweet, like what is used in a fruit cake, but doesn’t have as much flavor as maraschino cherries do.  If you opt to use maraschino cherries, make sure you drain and dry them well with paper towel before chopping, but you could use dried cherries, as another option if you want a tart element.

Chopped California walnuts were used, but you can use almonds, pecans, pistachios or even black walnuts or none at all. Just go all out Vanilla.  It’s amazing and a huge crowd pleaser!

You can also substitute white chocolate for milk, dark or peanut butter chocolate chips.  Get creative!

#2. Sweet and Salty Vanilla Butterscotch Swirl Bark

This Sweet and Salty Vanilla Butterscotch Swirl Bark is a bark you won’t forget after an indulgence or 3.  White Chocolate is melted with some good quality vanilla, then butterscotch chocolate chips are melted and the chocolates are swirled together.

Chopped pretzels, toffee  and assorted salted roasted nuts are sprinkled on top of the bark.  It’s optional, if you want to add some melted chocolate drizzle on top or leave it like it is.  It’s beautiful either way.

You could change it up by adding some dried cherries or cranberries for a little color and tartness for another level of yumminess!  You can add anything salty you want on top, any kind of pretzels, any kind of nuts.  It’s lovely just swirled with nothing on top except sprinkles of sea salt too!

Making bark is one of the easiest candies you can make and who doesn’t love chocolate?  And speaking of chocolate, you can make it your favorite by choosing peanut butter, milk chocolate, or mint chocolate chips as substitutions for different flavor combos!  Fun, right?? Yes!!

3 White Chocolate No-Bake Festive Candy Recipes

3 White Chocolate No-Bake Festive Candy Recipes

3 White Chocolate No-Bake Festive Candy Recipes
