Ideas for Assembly Your Thanksgiving Dessert Box

Autumn is the season for gratitude, sharing and pampering the people we love. And if there’s anything that instantly feels like affection, it’s a homemade dessert. This Thanksgiving, one sweet way to spoil our loved ones is with homemade dessert boxes:

little touches full of aroma, texture and flavor that warm the heart. And if they have a splash of Vainilla Molina, even better.

How to put together a dessert box:

1. Choose a combination.

Mix different textures and flavors so each treat is a little surprise.

Here are some ideas from Vainilla Molina's homemade dessert recipe book:

· Mini apple pies

· Oatmeal cookies with cinnamon and walnuts

· Individual carrot cakes

· Pumpkin cookies

· Walnut cheesecake

2. Pay attention to presentation.

The magic is in the details. Use kraft boxes, waxed paper or doilies, and decorate with jute ribbon or one in warm fall tones. You can add a cinnamon stick, a dried leaf or a handmade thank-you tag.

3. Play with colors.

Warm tones like gold, copper, beige or terracotta add that cozy fall feeling.

Before packing your desserts, let them cool completely. Use individual molds to keep them from sticking together, and if you’re including moist desserts (like pies), keep them in the fridge until delivery.

These handmade touches become the most precious details—not only during fall but for any occasion. So, this Thanksgiving, turn on the oven, fill your kitchen with the aroma of vanilla and share a little piece of yourself in every bite.
