If you enjoy being in the kitchen this holiday season consider giving your loved ones a baked good as a gift!
This is a great way to put a personal touch on your gift and show your loved ones how much you truly care! There are plenty of recipes and ideas out there that are perfect for gift giving. Here are a few to get you started, courtesy of foodnetwork.com!

Chocolate Fudge
Melt ½ a stick of butter, 4 cups of marshmallows, 1 cup cream, 2 cups sugar and a pinch of salt in a saucepan. Let it simmer, by stirring for 5 minutes.
Off the heat, stir in 3 cups chocolate chips until smooth.  Spread into a foil-lined 9 by 13 inch pan. Let it cool and cut into squares. Wrap up your cooled fudge in cellophane and holiday ribbon and you’re all set!

Coconut-Almond Truffles
Combine ¾ cup almond butter, ½ cup each confectioners’ sugar and unsweetened shredded coconut, 3 tablespoons cocoa powder and ½ teaspoon of vanilla – work into dough.
Roll into balls, and then roll in shredded coconut. Chill until ready to package or serve!

Cinnamon Marshmallows (kids will love this one)
Drizzle marshmallows with melted chocolate and sprinkle with cinnamon sugar. Chill until firm. Wrap up your marshmallows and give them as a gift with hot chocolate! These marshmallows are a perfect touch to a cup of hot cocoa on a cold winter night!
