Easy Thanksgiving Desserts to Make and Take

I participated in an Influencer Activation on behalf of Influence Central for Rubbermaid. I received product samples to facilitate my post about easy Thanksgiving Desserts.

Over the hill and through the woods… isn’t that the theme for Thanksgiving meals? While I have hosted most Thanksgiving dinners at my house since I have been married, we have been invited to a friend’s house for the last two years.

While I miss the full turkey dinner preparations, I am thrilled to spend time with friends and give my kitchen a break. Not a complete break, however, as I will be bringing some treats along!

Be sure to check out these fun Kid friendly Thanksgiving treats too. 

Since I like having fun with food, I sometimes feel limited because I cannot easily transport it to a party. Thanks to these new Rubbermaid Party Platters, I can still make festive Thanksgiving desserts and take them with me to my final Thanksgiving destination.

We all know that dips are so popular for both Thanksgiving and Game Day tailgates. The new Rubbermaid Party Platters come to the rescue.

With separate sections for all your dippers and a special container to hold your dip, you no longer have to search for the perfect-sized container to fit in with your dippers, nor will you accidentally leave the dip you packed in a separate container in your fridge.

Only Rubbermaid food storage containers are designed to be easy to find, easy to use and to keep food fresh longer.

What I love best about these two new Rubbermaid party platters is that they are 100% BPA free. They’re also a microwave, dishwasher, and freezer safe.

The Rubbermaid® Party Platter is a lightweight two-in-one food storage container designed for entertaining at home or taking to an event.

The large divided base separates different types of food, while a smaller leak-proof Twist & Seal™ inner container holds the dip while nesting snuggly into the base. Each container comes with a secure lid that creates a tight seal and allows for safe and easy transportation.

This Caramel Apple Turkey will be a big hit this year. I love how you can place all of your ingredients in the Party Platter to serve as is.

You can also unpack your platter when you arrive, setting up your caramel Turkey dip on a serving dish. We used the same dip bowl!

My daughter recently broke my cupcake carrier, so I was thrilled to find even a better one. The Party Serving Kit features two inserts and one base.

 (1) Flat base for pies, cookies, cakes, etc., featuring raised lips to contain loose items

This came in handy when making these Turkey Cupcakes.

Don’t you hate when your cupcakes bump into each other and the frosting falls off?
