i have a lot of people i like to make a little something for at this time of year. and i get bored making too much of anything, so i like to have a bit of a list to work from. (the following list is stuff i make every year, as well as new stuff i want to try - in no particular order.)
hershey kiss/pretzel thingies (these are absurdly easy and quick, and never fail to make everyone super happy. the hardest part is unwrapping the kisses. seriously.
rosemary garlic crackers from beauty that moves
homemade marshmallows (vegan pals, avert your eyes)
asian party mix (people love this.)
gingerbread (as the kids get older, i throw in more and more crystallized ginger. yum.)
honey-ginger grapefruit marmalade (a lot of my friends have been talking about grapefruit marmalade making, and it's been making me want to try it. this recipe looks yummy.)
caramels (haven't tried these yet, but my friend patti gave me the caramel bug the other day. these look good.)
spiced pecans! thanks to aprill for reminding me i like to make these.
. . . .
and if you have any recipes to share, please do leave a link in the comments. thanks!
