Homemade Candy

Who doesn’t love to receive sweets on holidays such as Christmas and Easter?

With your homemade bread, add a homemade spread or butter as well just to take that extra step. It may seem simple, but that’s the thoughtful charm behind this type of homemade gift.

Or, choose to gift the people at the office with a cupcake in a jar at the next holiday corporate party. Typically these are layers of cupcake and frosting, sprinkles and other toppings, which makes them highly customizable. Indulge yourself and your colleagues, or create healthy cupcake recipes for a guilt-free options. Cupcakes are always a great idea, and when this sweet treat is portable, everyone wins.

Remember, cupcakes do not have to be baked before they are given as gifts. Use a mason jar to fill with cake mix, frosting mix, toppings, and attach recipe to the lid with a cute ribbon or bow for the final touch. You can also try this with bread, muffins, brownies, and most other baked goods.
