My fifteen-month-old is OBSESSED with our oven. I'm not sure if it's the whir of the fan, the light, or the smell of awesome goodness (when my husband cooks), but the little guy is like a moth to a flame on that one. In fact, if anyone knows an oven child-safety device that actually works, please let me know.
Anyway, because my kids and I do have a sweet tooth (or several), I found myself searching for no-cook desserts on Pinterest, treats that say "summer" without the heat of the oven or stove involved. Oh, and which are colorful or chocolately enough to get the little guy saying "Moe!"
Contestant Number One: For something that's colorful, somewhat healthy, and quick, try these no bake tarts from The Style Sisters. I think these work great for kiddos, but it racks up extra points for being pretty enough to serve to guests too.

Contestant Number Two: This gem is from Southern Living. It gets bonus points for being easy AND made with ice cream--a match made in my own little version of heaven. And, a busy mom does not have to make her own ice cream for this to work (FYI -- Just bought some Talenti gelato at Wal-Mart that had me licking the bowl). Okay, so this treat doesn't have any health points attached. But then, it is a dessert;-)

Contestant Number Three: This last one may take a little more time, but this beauty from Let's Dish was seriously love at first sight for me. Peanut butter cups? Oreos? Chocolate Pudding? WHIPPED TOPPING? I'm desperately lovestruck. It's not as easy to make as the other two, or particularly healthy, but I may just win mother-of-the-year from my little ones if I put this together right. |

And if all else fails, there are always the fool-proof popsicles. Old-school and yummy! Or if cookies and cupcakes are the only way to fill a kiddo's (or your) craving, never fear. Places like Uptown Grocery, Eileen's Colossal Cookies, or Cupcakes to Go Go are just a few of the many Edmond bakeries that have you covered. Bon Apetit!
