10 Must Have Holiday Treats are delicious little nibbles to have on hand for your family and guests. All the extra little trims really add to that feeling of Christmas time.
We love nothing more than having lots of clip seal glass jars filled with all sorts of goodies ready to flip the lid and indulge in some of our favourite sweet treats.
One of our holiday traditions is to have an enormous blue and white speckled terracotta bowl filled to the brim with all sorts of childhood sweets. We take ourselves off to a confectionary warehouse and load up with all sorts of goodies… chocolates, jellies, caramels, toffees, jelly snakes, nougats ….you get the picture.
It’s always fun to watch the expression on family and friends faces as they dig in to retrieve their favourites with whoops of childlike delight.
These are Must Have Holiday Treats that we’ve collected over time and ones that we make whenever we want to have a delicious selection of treats to indulge in.
