Snickerdoodle Coffee Cocoa Mix

Snickerdoodle coffee cocoa mix makes the cutest gifts in a jar. It's also very YUMMY!

I've been packaging  my friend, family and neighbor gifts this week.

I have a few more to share with you......WOW, only 4 days till Christmas?  Really?

 

Snickerdoodle Coffee Mix

1 cup sugar
1 cup powdered milk
1/2 cup baking cocoa
1/2 cup non dairy vanilla creamer
3 TB instant coffee
1/2 tsp. ground allspice
1/2 tsp. ground cinnamon

Wisk together and store in airtight container or canning jars.

Not a coffee drinker? That's OK, just skip the coffee part. Makes delicious cocoa.....add lots of cream!

 

Place snickerdoodle mix in canning jars for a darling gift. Just top with fabric and ribbon for an instant holiday gift.

 

Have a great day and stay warm with some cocoa :)

 

Christmas Candy Bark

This week I'll be sharing all of our Christmas baking goodies and cute gift ideas. After today, just two more days of work until vacation. Hooray!

 

I found this Peanut Butter M&M bark last year and made a batch over the weekend.

It looks so festive in cute little see-thru boxes. I found the boxes at Walmart.

White Chocolate Peanut Butter Candy Bark

Happy Baking.......

Just the sweetest gifts......

This is my VERY favorite time of year. The week before Christmas.

I kinda-almost have all of my shopping done and now the fun part begins......wrapping :)

I love all the fun ribbons, packaging, boxes, bows and try to think of clever ways to put things together.

I made so much jam this year, I just couldn't stop making jam! I thought I was nuts, but now I'm so glad I did because it makes darling gifts.

I bought my personalized ribbon roll over at Pick Your Plum and it just makes it! Cute! Throw in a crochet dish cloth and you have yourself a thoughtful practical little friend or neighbor gift.

So glad dish cloths are wrinkle free :)

 

 

Have a Magical FUN weekend........
