When family and friends get together for a Thanksgiving feast, you want the meal to be perfect. You’ve got grandma’s stuffing recipe and dad carving the turkey, but what about dessert? Pies are all well and good, but for something that dinner guests can really sink their teeth into, think chocolate.
Finsh Off Your Thanksgiving Feast With Chocolate
Bulk candy is the best way to make sure there’s enough for everyone. Pass around some Andes Crème de Menthe or fill a basket with Dove Dark Chocolate Promises or the Hershey Nuggets Assortment. Or you can serve each guest a mixed dish of Red, gold, and brown M&M’s from the M&M’s Individual Colors selection. If that’s not creative enough for you, try these easy edible Thanksgiving treats.

Chocolate Frosting
Miniature chocolate chips
How to make them:
1, Pipe chocolate frosting on the flat side of each Nilla wafer.
