Christmas Treats

In early December I started putting together some holiday treats, namely for my baby sis Kiki and my bro-in-law Berto. They are in California and I knew they wouldn't be here for later treats. I was also experimenting on them- could treats be mailed? Would they make it??

I'm told that a gingerbread lost his head. RIP little dude. And one of the stockings broke.

Zeus and Zorro are Kiki's furbabies.

 

Next time I will bubble wrap each cookie! I kid!

I also made homemade Cracker Jacks. I love Cracker Jacks. Why doesn't anyone ever buy me Cracker Jacks?

I made a few Eiffel Towers for giggles. It was a challenge to get the icing thin enough for details. I did the best I knew how.

I think they were pretty for my first attempt!

 

I gave an Eiffel Tower to my friend Jess, at work. She also has a love of Paris and Eiffel Towers :)

Caramel corn

I've been wanting to make this caramel corn since I first saw it in the fall. Caramel corn does seem like a fall treat but with today's rain and cooler winds it seemed natural to have the oven on and the warm, sweet smell in the kitchen!

Click here for the stolen recipe. It made tons!

I bagged it up in these cute little carrot cellophane bags. I think maybe this is my centerpiece for my Easter table?
