HOMEMADE FOOD GIFTS FOR CHRISTMAS

It’s Christmas Time! For me, that means making homemade food gifts for my coworkers, neighbors, parties, friends and family. I love to make candies and cookies to give away as presents. I really think it means more when you take the time to make something. Plus, I know how much people love to eat sweets around Christmas! If you’re like me, then you’ll love this list of homemade food gifts.

Martha Washington Candy – This candy is incredible and such a wonderful holiday treat. It’s a combination of pecans, coconut and cherries. Add this one to your list!
