It’s summertime in Raleigh, North Carolina, and it’s heating up outside! Summer is the perfect time for gathering with friends and family, and gatherings are better with sweet treats around. But no one wants to run the oven when it’s this hot outside. The extra heat in the house just isn’t cool. So what’s someone in the Raleigh apartments scene to do? Check out these awesome, sweet treats recipes. No baking is required, so your apartment can stay nice and cool!
Custom Popsicles Are an Easy Yet Healthy Option
Making your own popsicles is super simple, yet super delicious. All you need is an ice-cube tray and some popsicle sticks, although you’ll get even better results if you spring for a set of popsicle molds.
To make the popsicles, simply pour whatever mixture of fruit juices you like into the popsicle molds (or ice-cube tray), insert the tops (or popsicle sticks), and freeze. To amp up your popsicles, add in soft diced fruit, fruit purees, or (for the adults) even some booze!
You Can’t Go Wrong With No-Bakes
No-bake cookies are a classic for a reason. They’re easy to make, delicious, and fairly healthy to boot. This delicious, peanut-buttery, chocolatey, chewy snack is pretty simple to prepare, though it does involve boiling a butter, milk, sugar, and cocoa powder mixture. This is definitely a recipe worth trying.
Once you have the basic concept down, you can experiment here too with a variety of add-ins. Add chia or flax for health benefits. Sprinkle in some raisins or other dried fruit or your favorite nut for added texture and flavor.
Oreo Balls Are a Sweet Indulgence
Oreo balls are a delicious, no-bake, sweet treat. They’re like truffles for the common man! Mix crushed Oreos and cream cheese, form into balls, and coat with melted chocolate. Amazing!
These sweet treats are guaranteed to be a hit, and they won’t raise the temperature inside. Try out one or two at your next apartment gathering. Speaking of apartments, The Tribute has a stellar set of luxury amenities that can take your next party to the next level. Call us today to find out more.
