If you can’t stand the crowds at the malls and want to save the money you’d spend on shipping gifts ordered online on other things (like Friday night cocktails or a pre-holiday pedicure) then homemade gifts are really your last option. For those of you who like to cook and bake, this is a good thing. For those of you who “eat to live,” rather than “live to eat” I have got you covered. I’ll never understand you. But I’ve got you covered. I know that your blood sugar is probably increasing rapidly just from reading this blog lately and I swear, I am eating things besides chocolate, butter and sugar (and a combination of the three). But what I am also doing is baking holiday treats to share with friends and family. Homemade fudge is a simple gift to make and give – it doesn’t require oven time and only calls for a few ingredients. It’s also rich, so a little goes a long way.

Addictive Cinnamon Sugar Pecans

With the holiday season is well underway and for some of us, winding down, most of our presents have been dispensed, most of our holiday goodies delivered. Me though? I’m still on holiday recipes and I’m loving these cinnamon sugar pecans. If you were late to the game or still in the thick of party season, you might still be searching for the perfect gift for your host or hostess. If you don’t have the energy to hit the post-Christmas sales, you can make an amazing gift in your own kitchen, which I did, courtesy of an superb recipe from Lisa, a good friend and fellow food blogger. These addictive cinnamon sugar pecans could not be any easier if they made themselves. There are two steps, four ingredients and countless ways to wrap them — in treat bags, mason jars, sweets boxes, or holiday treat tins. I wrapped these in individual cellophane bags to give as holiday gifts. They’re a tasty diversion from holiday cookies and super easy to make. Merry Christmas/Happy Holidays!
