Fall is my favorite time of year. The weather cools down a bit, and there’s Halloween and Thanksgiving, and pumpkin and apple picking. With the holidays coming up, it’s the perfect time to get my kids involved in the kitchen. These easy no-bake fall desserts are right up their alley, and spare me a bit more time to do something else while they’re occupied making their favorite part of their meals. Most of these are easy enough for tweens to make pretty much all on their own, and some are easy enough for your three-year-old to help with. Check them out in the slideshow.
