How do you package homemade christmas desserts for gifts?

Whether you’re packing up a platter of cookies or wrapping up other goodies, sweets make perfect Christmas gifts!

  • Lay out on a platter. This option is great for brownies or fudge. Lay all the treats out in a single layer on a festive platter and cover with cling wrap. Throw a gift bow on top for a nice touch!
  • Stack in a tin or mason jar. Or reuse any jar you have around (thoroughly washed of course.) This is perfect for Christmas crack, peanut brittle, puppy chow, or heath bars.
  • Package in a box and seal with a bow. Line up mini pies or oreo balls in a small cardboard box and wrap up with a bow.

These packaging ideas also work perfectly for Christmas cookies!
