Those that gift holiday baking
How many things to you make and about how much of each thing do you give? I made some stuff up last year, but probably went a bit cheap.
Derek is out of the house all weekend so I thought I'd do an early morning Costco run then crank the tunes and get my bake on.
Soooo, tell me what you do.

This year I'm doing a a tray of traditional treats. I'm packaging them in a square, paper, 9x9 baking tray lined with colorful paper and wrapped gift-basket style with colored cellophane.
Lefse, both kinds of kringle, krumkakke, spritz, sandbakkles

Okay, I have no idea what Anna just said. Is this how other people feel when Any and I talk WoW?
I'm not doing it this Christmas, but in previous years I've bought holiday tins from Walmart or Target and filled them with brownie squares, chocolate chip cookies, dipped Oreos and either gingerbread, peanut butter or sugar cookies. I think four kinds of treats provides a nice variety without being too hard to manage in the kitchen.
Yes. Yes it is.

I thought the same thing, Celles. Who knew there were two kinds of Kringle?
Anna - those all look amazing. and delicious.
i did!
.....and then we promptly ate them when my niece came over. i hadn't made a huge batch. Maybe 3 dozen. i think I finally have them down to the point I don't hardly mess any up. It only took 4 years. So we're making more Saturday.

I ordered my iron yesterday - can't wait to use it.
Oh, and for any Starbucks Cranberry Bliss Bar fans, I tried out the Top Secret Recipes recipe for them on Sunday and my H said they're even better than the Starbucks bars.
I package my treats in carboard gift boxes. I usually pick them up at the container store. I make a tower with them and then tie it all together with some wire edged pretty ribbon.
In the past I've made biscotti, candied nuts, gingersnaps, lemon squares, fudge and potica bread. Hopefully I'll get the drive to do some holiday baking this year. Since I haven't even started holiday shopping yet, I'm not so sure how far I'll get.
