Peppermint bark— I’d either keep your gift bags in the fridge, or temper the chocolate when making so it doesn’t get soft in the bag at room temp.

Mini loaves of a Christmas-y quick bread. Gingerbread, eggnog, chocolate chip cranberry, would all be good.

Oh and homemade turtles are delicious! My friend had a side hustle and sells them only at Christmas. People love them.

Cinnamon-sugar mini pretzels?

I just made the pretzel rods using bagged milk chocolate and white chocolate chips.

Melt in microwave 30 seconds, stir, another 30 seconds, stir and then add a tablespoon or so of vegetable oil. I spooned on the chocolate then shook on Christmas theme sprinkles from Walmart.

I dried on parchment paper. These were really easy and dried in 30 minutes.

I also got 2 lb bags of pecans from Sams. I made 1 bag of the sugar/cinnamon nuts (someone posted a recipe above, but mine didn't use egg white), and 1 bag of savory pecans which was just melted butter and salt. They each roasted 10 minutes, stir, then about 5 minutes more. This was so easy, and almost everyone loves pecans.

I think the chocolate covered pretzel rods would be your best bet for a cheap and easy treat.

You can use coupons to get the easy melting chocolate from Michael’s. Pretzels and sprinkles. That is it.
