Gifts of Food From Your Kitchen

February 17, 2009

Whatever occasion or holiday you are celebrating—a birthday, Christmas, Easter, or New Year—the celebration will be more fun with food. Food gifts are loved by all. These are gifts that are easy to make, inexpensive, and you can personalize them for any recipient. Here are some ideas for easy to make homemade food gifts from your kitchen.

•    Cookies are a classic gift from your kitchen. Cookies are easy to make, come in a variety of flavors and styles, and can be simple or ornate. Cookies also lend themselves to being made in very large batches, so you can make lots of recipients happy.

•    Brownies are another popular gift choice. Brownies can be made as quickly and easily as cookies—sometimes more so. There are a variety of recipes available, from simple to gourmet. Try adding some nuts on top for a special treat.

•    Fudge is a classic holiday dessert. It is easy to make and easy to give. Chocolate fudge with walnuts is a good choice. There are even white fudge recipes that use dried fruit and nuts.

•    Truffles are an exciting gift to make and easier to make than you might think. You can make truffles in a variety of styles and flavors. An assortment of truffles in an attractive tin would make a lovely gift.

•    Chocolate rum balls are another holiday classic. These are always much sought after and a surprising gift.

•    A homemade chocolate cake is a great gift. Everyone loves homemade cake, and this is a dessert that can be shared by many.

•    Chocolate dipped pretzels are great for munching and are easy enough even for children to make. Try white chocolate dipped pretzel sticks topped with seasonal sprinkles for an especially festive gift.

•    For a treat that isn’t so sweet, homemade breads and muffins are a wonderful choice. Try pairing the bread with flavored or fruit butters.

•    A container of homemade tomato or pasta sauce paired with a package of colorful or fancifully shaped pasta is another wonderful gift.
