Things to Consider When Choosing a New Year’s Eve Dessert
Once you have decided you are going to be celebrating the new year with others, the most important decision to make is what delicious dessert to bring! There are a few things to consider when making this important decision. First, you want to think about your audience. Do your fellow partiers have any dietary restrictions or food allergies? Maybe a gluten-free B’Day Cake is in order? Are there flavors or ingredients they don’t like? Keeping them in mind will help make sure your New Year’s Eve dessert is well received by all. Perhaps something classic like Milk Bar Pie checks all their boxes.
Next you will want to think of the New Year’s Eve party itself. Is this an adults only cocktail party? If so something classy like Mini Peppermint Bark Snaps would be appropriate. Maybe the vibe is more pajama party til midnight, in which case a cookie variety pack would be a crowd pleaser. You should also keep in mind what types of serving dishes or flatware is needed for your treats, and if the New Year’s Eve celebration set up allows for it.

Pies
Party with pie.
During the holidays, pie reigns supreme amongst delicious desserts. Maybe because pies pack a warm and cozy punch of because they are classic in profile, everyone is happy when pie makes an appearance at a New Year’s bash. Our classic Milk Bar Pie brings all the gooey, buttery, brown-sugar-y energy your party is craving.
Cakes
Celebrate with cake.
From birthdays to anniversaries and graduations, nothing says special occasion like cake. Ring in the new year with something sweet and showstopping like our seasonal, chocolate Peppermint Bark Cake or say “happy birthday!” 2024 with a classic rainbow sprinkle studded Birthday Cake.
Cookies
Get together with New Year’s Eve cookies.
Not every party is a “get the plates out” kind of occasion, so if you are looking to keep it more casual, and let guests graze as they go, cookies are a great option. They even look cute on a cheeseboard! While Confetti feels like a party, Compost brings a bit of coffee, which may be key for staying up til midnight.
Truffles
Toast the New Year with truffles.
A champagne toast is so last year. Raise a truffle to the year ahead and bring in 2024 with a bite of moist, flavorful cake coated in flavorful sand. B’Day Truffles always feel like a party, and Cocoa Mint Chip Truffle are a seasonal favorite, so you really can’t go wrong.
