I usually make goodies for DH's work (2 offices). It usually consists of Oatmeal Chocolate Chip cookies (DH's favorite), peanut butter balls dipped in chocolate, peanut butter cookies with Hershey kiss, sugar cookies with mini Reese's cup, and Banana bread. I'm not sure what I'm going to be able to accomplish this year because I am having surgery on Dec 19th, but I will do my best!

I think we still have ingredients for banana bread, so probably that. I know we were looking at making S'mores brownies for DH's department at work.
