I'm definitely watching this for ideas. My family has always baked gift boxes for neighbors, friends and coworkers. I've already made my fudge and caramel bites plus I'll be making banana bread for each box and was looking for something easier to finish filling the boxes with. Thank you for sharing and have a wonderful day.

I think homemade gifts are amazing to receive no matter what the special occasion would be. I love to receive homemade gifts. It's the thought that counts.

Hi Renea and John! I agree, I would rather give homemade goods for Christmas than buying for the adults. I get requests from people that they loved a certain candy, cookies or baked goods. Fudge, fruitcake, snowballs, chocolate Charlie and biscotti. Peanut butter cups or buckeyes are also a favorite with a lot of people. I also gave homemade bourbon vanilla extract last year for Christmas presents. Good job on getting your candies made. Thanks for sharing and have a very blessed day!

Love simple, easy gift candies. You make your videos easy to follow. I find myself talking to you like I was there. " Needs a little more chocolate " or That looks good". I prefer dark chocolate as does half my extended family. Good chocolate is not cheap but less expensive to make your own candy. And fresher with less preservatives. Great video.

Waving hello to you from Ontario, across the Great Lake.🇨🇦 I make up candy/cookie boxes too for Christmas gifts. People don’t take the time to bake like they used to so it seems anything homemade is so welcomed and appreciated. Love your channel, and your upbeat personality. God bless 🙏 and Merry Christmas.🎄

These look delicious Renea and really are easy to make. I use to love making homemade gifts especially around the holidays and to me, I think receiving something homemade has more meaning to it! I truly miss spending time doing it but unfortunately when your in the medical field, your career has to be a priority but I do miss spending more time in my kitchen. I'm sure if any of you work in the medical field you understand exactly what I'm saying. I do however love watching Renea's channel! ❣️ She certainly is alot of fun and what a sweetheart she is.💓 Thanks so much Renea for sharing such a fun channel with everyone!
