Monday, December 17, 2012

Here are some ideas for homemade holiday gifts that you still have time to make before Christmas.

Hot Cocoa Mix – Nothing beats a great mug of hot cocoa!

Peppermint Marshmallows – These marshmallows go perfectly with a mug of hot cocoa

Peanut Butter Caramel Corn – Caramel corn makes a great gift. This stuff has just a hint of peanut butter flavor

Spiced Meat Rub – You can rub this on any kind of meat for delicious results

Salted Caramel Sauce – Salted caramel makes everything taste better. You can make it at home and any who gets a jar will thank you for years to come

One Year Ago: Peppermint Brownie Mosaic Cheesecake and Cranberry Avocado Salsa
Two Years Ago: Hot Cocoa Mix
Three Years Ago: Green Bean Casserole
Four Years Ago: Snickerdoodles and Candy Cane and Mint Kiss Cookies

I can’t get enough peppermint, even after the holidays! I make a similar cookie, but love that you added white chocolate in for these 🙂

  Peppermint is definitely one of my favorite flavors. I loved the candy pieces that were on the edges of these cookies and got all crispy!

I didn’t get to decorate the house or get a tree… I have a feeling I may go overboard next Christmas. Hope you guys are settling in!

Kind of sad that I have to wait another 9-10 months before it becomes socially acceptable to make these….

  It’s still winter, so it’s definitely still acceptable in my book!
