Christmas Goodies

For neighbor gifts this year I made cocoa stirring spoons.

I dipped plastic spoons in chocolate then crushed candy canes...

or put marshmallow snowmen on the chocolate...

or dipped Reeses peanut butter chips with chocolate chips

Then packaged them with some Stephen's cocoa  YUM!

I decided to try some new things for our Christmas Eve treats

Some worked out...like my peanut brittle

Some didn't...like these wreath cookies. They looked good until they came out of the oven :(

The peanut brittle was actually much easier than I imagined it would be...this may become a tradition

I also made a caramel chex mix

It makes a ton...but it tastes good!

Christmas Fun

I don't know what it is, but this Christmas I have been a little Martha Stewart making Christmas decorations and now making homemade Christmas gifts. I made this cute little hat for my niece ( I hope she likes it.)

I've never knitted anything before in my life, but this was actually very easy. I used a knitting loom, popped in a movie and a couple hours later, tada!

Next on my list is to make some homemade treats. I'm feeling adventurous so we'll see what I end up doing. Stay tuned!
