Holiday Gifty Goodness

This year, I decided to make my co-workers holiday themed take-out boxes filled with yummy homemade holiday food goodness. They will receive their bundles tomorrow morning. Here's a run down of what was included in each:















Sally inspects the collection. She gave the presentation four paws up I can assure you.














Sugared Cranberries - These are a Cooking Light recipe I've been saving since 2002. The process was fairly simple. You make a simple sugar syrup, soak the cranberries overnight in the syrup and then roll them in a superfine sugar to coat.














Vanilla Bean Pancake Mix - This mix is really simple and contains a vanilla bean inside to flavor the pancake mix. I also included the recipe and some maple syrup.













Almond Croquant - This is a simple French candy with almonds. It's a better alternative to fattier pralines because it only contains sugar, water and almonds.







Lemon Ginger Biscotti - Probably my favorite of the bunch! I can't believe I've never made biscotti before. These delightfully crunchy cookies are so delicious I almost don't want to give them away. They contain crystallized ginger and fresh lemon zest. Delicious!

Hope everyone has a tasty holiday!
