10 Chocolate Free Christmas Dessert Ideas
I don’t have chocolate in my house. It isn’t that I don’t like it (I ADORE it) – but if it is there, I’ll scoff the lot until it is gone. So do the kids.
But my husband is also allergic to chocolate… poor thing (yey for me!). The problem is that nearly everything Christmas related has chocolate in it or on it..
For instance, my husband yesterday was given a gift basket from his Theatre Class to thank him for the year – the gift is just beautiful – but it is full of chocolate – because most gifts are – gah gah gah!!
So I figured there must be other people out there who don’t like it, can’t eat it or just don’t want – Chocolate!
Let’s go through thirty different chocolate free Christmas Ideas!
This recipe is a good one for when you still want sweet, but don’t want chocolate!

Now before you go off your brain and tell me ‘But there is Nutella in the biscuit base’ – you can easily swap the Nutella out for peanut butter or just butter. When I make this I really love the peanut butter version – so decadent and rich! Another great thing about this recipe is that you can make it in advance (up to two weeks) and just grab it out of the freezer before serving – so it also saves you time on Christmas Day!
