Rice krispie squares? My DH made some biscoff rice krispie squares the other day and they were sooo good. Very unhealthy I'm sure but tis the season.

Chocolate or milk chocolate dipped pretzel rods decorated with sprinkles or red/green candy melts drizzled over top.

I'd love these. Or candied almonds.

Classic Chex or Crispix mix (I'm using mini pretzels instead of breadstick slices but other than that, just going with the recipe on the box)

Chocolate-covered animal crackers (works best with the puffy kind, not the flat graham cracker-y ones; I add red/white/green non pareil sprinkles for Christmas)

Mulling spices

Muddy buddies, using whatever recipe you prefer.

Caramel popcorn

These are really good. I had a co-worker who used to make this for us.

Once a coworker distributed small bags of miniature marshmallows with a poem that was something like this:

Instead of getting coal this year,
You get Snowman poop.

Immediately sent to the trash

Christmas pretzels topped with a rolo, quickly melted. You can press it down with a red and green M&M.

I’ve heard it called Muddy Buddies or Puppy Chow, if you want to look for recipes.

Also:
hot cocoa mix (my mom used to blend her own, I think it was Nestle Quik, powdered sugar, and coffee mate - you can probably find some kind of recipe you like, maybe add some cinnamon or other spices)
spiced/candied nuts
cookie mix
Russian Tea mix

Hot cocoa bombs

Fudge

NOT COOKIES!

I like to keep cookies on hand, packaged up to reciprocate for those inevitable unexpected gifts. Any ideas for something that I could keep packaged in a small baggie-type package?
