Edible Gift Ideas!

Edible Gift Ideas- a collection of candies, cookies, infusions and snacks to make holiday magic with! Find more on Shutterbean.com

We’re not that far from Christmas and if you’re celebrating it and need some Edible Gift Ideas, I’m here to help! I think this year Pumpkin Seed Brittle is going to be high up on my list! 

Honey Candied Walnuts

Tell your friends these walnuts are great on salads because we need the encouragement and reminders to balance out all of the cookies and stuff with greens! 

I’m thinking they would be perfect in a beet salad. 

Hot & Spicy Saltines 

Break up all the sweets with something SPICY!  These hot & spicy saltines are quite addictive. 

Pumpkin Seed Brittle to add to your cheese boards or homemade goodie bags! Find the recipe at Shutterbean.com

Pumpkin Seed Brittle

This is in my lineup this year. All the crunch with the perfect amount of sweetness.
