10 days until Christmas. WHOA. That’s kinda soon. We still have time to make homemade gifts, though. PLENTY OF TIME! Let’s dip into my archives and brainstorm all the things you could easily make for your loved ones this holiday season!
SALTED ROCKY ROAD FUDGE–
With the help of smoked almonds, this Rocky Road Fudge is perfect for that salty sweet lover!
COOKIES & CREAM PEPPERMINT BARK
The creaminess of white chocolate gets married with Trader Joe’s Candy Cane Joe Joe’s and topped with broken candy canes. It’s cookies & cream meets candy cane BARK!
CHOCOLATE CHUNK BLONDIES
The walnuts…they get me EVERY TIME. I can’t stop eating these when I make them.
I find that people like bars after they’ve been assaulted with SO MANY COOKIES.
CRUNCHY PEPPERMINT BARK
It’s not Christmas unless I’m making crunchy peppermint bark. The rice krispies are EVERYTHING.
BOURBON SALTED CARAMELS
Three of my favorite words. I think I might use some Apple Cinnamon Bourbon on my next batch!
HONEY CANDIED WALNUTS
The most versatile honey candied walnut recipe! I’d appreciate a jar or two. Perfect addition to salads & yogurt.
TROPICAL BARK
A very pretty bark! This one will transport you to the tropics with the candied fruit & citrus vibe!
ALMOND PIZZELLES
Dainty, delicate and pretty. My grandma would give us containers filled with these during the holidays.
We’d plow through them in no time.
COCONUT + ALMOND CARAMEL CORN
Makes the best teachers gifts….
SALTED CARAMEL MACAROONS
These things are straight up ADDICTIVE. Also, bonus points if you drizzle chocolate on top.
FLOURLESS COCONUT CHOCOLATE DROPS
Totally gluten free— like a cross between a cookie & brownie. Oh and there’s coconut up in there too.
CANDIED CITRUS PEEL
These were a hit with my family. We all just put them in cocktails or ate them alone!
Chocolate dipped if you feel so inclined!
WHITE CHOCOLATE PEPPERMINT PRETZELS
The easiest present to make! Get your kids involved in this one.
HOT COCOA POPCORN
Look! I put this popcorn in mugs. You could wrap it up with hot cocoa mix, marshmallows & a good book.
CANDY CANE VODKA
Booze Infusion. Put those candy canes to good use. Excellent in hot chocolate.
HOMEMADE LIMONCELLO
Quick! Get on this.
APPLE CINNAMON INFUSED BOURBON
3-4 days and you’re GOLDEN.
HOMEMADE AMARETTO
Instant hit! You don’t need any infusion time. Make this the day you give it!
BLACKBERRY THYME INFUSED VODKA
I gifted this to friends this week and they’re already asking me to make them more. GOOD SIGN!!
Happy Homemade Gift Making!
