I've got a pretty good idea on how I want to run the "show", but I want to have something to give everyone who shows up.

Last time I did Snowman Soup (Pack of Coco Mix, Couple of Hursey Kisses, a Candy Cane and a few Mini Marshmello's in a zip lock baggy with a cute poem....) I can do that again, but I wanted to do something a little different.

I can't get any dill mix for a dip type thing or enough of the cinnamon plus for a cider add to juice etc... Not enough time.....

ANY OTHER IDEAS you guys might have?

Thanks!
 
How about a PC pretzel/chocolate wreath with a small card of instructions how to make their own? put it in a baggie, and have 3 out and on display. This is what I'm doing later today!If you haven't done it yet, SUPER easy...dip rounded base of 5 mini pretzels in gently melted chocolate. Dip deep enough that you get a little up the side too. Lay on wax or parchment paper, lightly touching sides together. Make a circle of 5. Then make a second circle on top of first, overlapping in between botom ones - sprinkle with sugar sprinkles (caramel or sweet cinnamon spk if you want but that's $$) and allow to cool. Tie a festive ribbon, and you're good to go.God Bless; Take Care!-praying for Paige and her family-

Thanks, That's a great idea!
 
We did this at a show last night! It was a definite hit.
 


Hello there! I love your idea of giving something to everyone who shows up to your event. It's always nice to have a little something to take home and enjoy. Have you thought about making homemade spice mixes? They are easy to make and can be used in a variety of dishes. You could also make mini jars of flavored salts or infused oils. Another idea could be to make a homemade hot cocoa mix with different flavors like peppermint or salted caramel. I hope these suggestions help and I'm sure your guests will appreciate the thought and effort you put into their gifts. Happy cooking!
