I packaged up some lovely Chili Burn Peanut Butter Cookies.

Made a batch of Almond Bark,
 |
| 1 cup of white melting chocolate. |
 |
| 1 cup of dark melting chocolate. |
 |
| Melt the white chocolate in microwave and spread with chopped up almonds. Place in fridge to speed up hardening time. |
 |
| Melt the dark chocolate and spread over hardened white chocolate. Spread with more almonds. Harden in fridge again. |
 |
| Break into pieces! |
Made some tags on the Cricut, which could easily be made by hand!
 |
| I packaged up the cookies and bark in clear cellophane bags. You can get them at the dollar store. |
Put a cupcake wrapper on a jar of homemade pear sauce,...made the same way applesauce is made but with pears,
 |
| I happened to have a nice little wooden hat box with a lid. I tucked the lid in behind the gift to add a backdrop and packaged in cellophane with a nice bow! |
And called it a homemade gift basket and a day!
Cheers.

Homemade is always better than store bought, especially when they're made with care, which it looks like this one really was. Nice work. :)
ReplyDeleteThank you!
DeleteI just had my first bark last month, just milk chocolate. It was made for me by my friend in North Carolina's 16 year old daughter. I ate the whole bag on my ride back to Philadelphia. I love white chocolate I am going to share this recipe with her!
