8 Edible Yule Gifts You Can Make at Home

Homemade edible gifts are personal, delicious and a lot less expensive than store-bought. These eight ideas can be made ahead and packed in jars, tins or boxes.

8 gift ideas

1. Peppermint bark: melted dark and white chocolate with crushed candy canes.
2. Chocolate fudge: a simple fudge cut into squares and packed in a tin.
3. Spiced nuts: almonds or pecans tossed with cinnamon, sugar and a pinch of cayenne.
4. Gingerbread cookies: tied in a bundle with twine.
5. Hot chocolate bombs or mix: in a jar with mini marshmallows.
6. Infused honey: honey steeped with rosemary or vanilla.
7. Granola: cinnamon honey granola in a jar.
8. Herb salt or spice blend: in a small glass jar with a label.

Packaging tips
