Easy Homemade 2013 – 2014 Christmas Gifts


Dark Chocolate Bark
This chocolate bark studded with red cherries and green pistachios is vibrant, delicious, and takes less than an hour to make. We've put it in a red wooden box covered with a sheet of wrapping paper (glue down the edges), which you can cut open to reveal the treats inside.
Diane's Christmas Pecans

A small burlap bag lined with parchment paper makes a perfect gift pouch for these mouthwatering meringue-glazed pecans, one of chef Diane Morgan's favorite holiday traditions. They're terrific with a glass of bourbon for an indulgent late-night snack.
Cranberry Chutney
This gloriously sweet-and-tart chutney is easy to make and packed with cranberries and juicy bits of pear and apple—a combination so striking, you'll want to present it in a clear glass jar. We like using mason jars with festive green fabric wrapped around the lids.
Peanut Butter and Chocolate Chip Rice Krispies Balls
These crunchy, nutty, chocolatey confections make such an elegant present, only a beautiful sheet of paper will do as wrapping. One idea: Cut a strip of gift paper and a narrower strip of parchment paper. Layer the parchment on the wrapping paper, place the balls on top, roll, and tie the ends with ribbon.
Maple Caramel Sauce
Friends will love this exquisitely gooey sauce, which elevates everything from pancakes and waffles to ice cream. And it's especially pretty when you pour it into a glass jar (old jam jars in appealing shapes work nicely) and present it with a drizzle stick.
