What is Friendsgiving?
Typically celebrated on or near Thanksgiving in the United States, Friendsgiving usually involves a large meal eaten with friends who feel like family. Sometimes the host will prepare all the food, and sometimes Friendsgiving is celebrated potluck-style. However people choose to celebrate, Friendsgiving is becoming more and more popular as time goes on!
What Makes a Good Friendsgiving Dessert?
When I think of Friendsgiving desserts, of course it calls to mind Fall flavors. I've included here the pumpkin, apple, and caramel treats that you'd expect, plus some crowd-pleasers I couldn't bear to leave out. It's also important that the desserts can be easily transported. Nothing that you need to assemble and serve immediately.
With these things in mind, I've created a list of more than 20 Friendsgiving Dessert Recipes for you to choose from!
