Dessert recipes Page 6

Desserts for every occasion, from 5-minute trail mix to no-bake pies and holiday cut-out cookies. The range is wide. Quick treats include peanut butter fudge, popcorn balls and cottage cheese mousse with honey. Baked favorites include banana bread, cinnamon apple muffins, rhubarb crisp and blackberry cobbler with a buttermilk biscuit topping.

Seasonal sweets follow the calendar, with Valentine's strawberries, Christmas cookies and graduation cap cookies. Some recipes are made for sharing, such as individual cookie bags or party snack mixes like red, white and blue puppy chow. To choose, start with the time you have: no-bake pies and mousse need chilling rather than oven time, while cookies and quick breads come together in under an hour.

Look for dairy-free and healthier options if you need them.
