Kids and adults alike will gobble up these easy treats made with store-bought puff pastry. They're inspired by a traditional French palmier and are possibly the cutest desserts we've ever seen.

A fun Thanksgiving version of the popular Halloween treat, popcorn balls. These "cobs" are made by combining homemade popcorn, melted marshmallows, and brown sugar, then shaping them to resemble harvest corn.

These delicate French wafer cookies are an elegant treat. Use our own leaf stencil or a leaf-shaped cookie cutter, then garnish the baked cookies atop a spice cake, a bowl of ice cream, or just enjoy them on their own.

Keep the kids entertained on Thanksgiving with a DIY cupcake decorating station using toasted coconut, sprinkles, marshmallows, and gummy candy. This recipe calls for chocolate cupcakes and a chocolate buttercream, but feel free to use any cupcake or frosting flavor you prefer.

Nothing says Thanksgiving like pie, but after a plate of turkey, stuffing, sweet potato casserole, and who knows how many sides, who has room for a slice? This bite-size version lets guests get their pecan fix—with a cranberry bonus.

Cranberry sauce can be utilized in the sweet or savory courses of the Thanksgiving meal. Sure, these pie dough-cranberry creations can be made with leftovers, but they look and taste so good, you'll want to make these tiny treats ahead of time.
