Around the holidays there are just too many things to think about: menus for parties, gifts for family, decorating… And many times, we forget about those small hostess gifts or items for the people we take for granted. During this season, I love to give away what I bake and make. I have so many items spilling out of my kitchen and for me, it is a true gift from the heart. I scour craft stores for boxes and bags to use for gifting and before I know it, I have perfect gifts for anyone!

Who doesn’t love a homemade treat? This quick and simple caramel-coated snack mix is perfect around the holidays!

Anyone will love receiving this edible gift. Just make sure to make extra as you will want it all for yourself!
