The holiday season always comes with added expenses. Between parties and presents, you can find your budget stretched a little thin. If you\u2019re looking for an easy way to save a few dollars, try lowering your natural gas bill<\/a> in the kitchen. While you\u2019re prepping holiday treats, just skip the oven. Instead, save on gas with the best no-bake holiday treats.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

How Much Gas Savings with No-Bakes?<\/h3>\n\n\n\n

I know it\u2019s the holidays, but let\u2019s do a little math! The average oven uses about 17,000 btu<\/a> per hour. If you\u2019re in for a marathon weekend of baking, you could use over 400,000 btu’s. That’s about 4 therms. Now assume you pay around $0.90 per therm on your Atlanta Gas Light bill<\/a>. This equates to about $3.60 in gas for cookies! And that doesn’t even include the AGL delivery charges. Sure, you won\u2019t be rich, but you can definitely make your dollar go a little further with no-bake holiday treats.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

No-Bake Easy Christmas Treats<\/h3>\n\n\n\n

With countless no-bake recipes available, we picked 5 standout options for ease, cost, and tummy appeal!<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Puppy Chow:<\/strong> go for the classic peanut butter<\/a> option or change things up with minty flavors<\/a>. Either way, you only need to run your microwave for a few minutes to melt ingredients, then stir and enjoy! Add festive holiday sprinkles or candy cane pieces for a more seasonal look.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Cheesecake: <\/strong>believe it or not, you can make cheesecake<\/a> with almost no appliances! A stand mixer will help with beating the cream cheese, but it\u2019s not a necessity. Smash graham crackers for a simple crust, dump in your filling, and chill for a few hours. Yum!<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Truffles:<\/strong> a great option for something that looks fancy but is so cheap and easy. You can turn almost any of your favorite baked treats into a truffle by crushing and mixing with a firming ingredient like cream cheese. Oreo cookies<\/a> are a great option. Then coat your filling in a layer of melted white chocolate. So easy! Take it to the next level with decoration and really impress your guests.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Bark:<\/strong> just a few ingredients and steps go into this holiday staple. Peppermint bark<\/a> is so easy but looks so great and festive topped with crushed candy canes. You can customize bark to your taste with your choice of chocolates and add-ins like dried fruit, nuts, pretzels, and more.  <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Trail Mix:<\/strong> you couldn\u2019t ask for an easier treat with zero appliances involved. Bring the holidays to the mix by adding a few fun ingredients, like holiday M&Ms, dried cranberries, and mini marshmallows, to your base of mixed nuts and pretzels.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
