Gift Ideas
Use these treats as gifts! Using
plastic wrap, place 2-3 treats in the center and gather the ends at
the top. Finish it by securing each bundle with a ribbon. Line a cookie
tin with tissue paper, flare out the edges for a decorative look. Then
carefully place the goodies into the cookie tins, fold the edges of the
tissue paper carefully over the top of the treats and secure with cookie tin
lid. Adorn the top with a colorful bow.
