Easy Holiday Homemade Food Gifts {DIY Edible Gifts} – Food Play Go
January 18, 2023 - An easy, budget friendly Christmas gift for a friend or neighbor. People are going to inundated with sweets during the holidays season, and instead having a healthy lunch or meal they don’t have to think about could really be helpful. I am including her vegan black bean soup recipe as she does in her post but any healthy homemade soup is a great idea!

With the holiday season coming up, what homemade food gifts are you planning to make/gift this year?
My parents like to make Bailey’s creme liqueur as gifts. Super easy and always a crowd pleaser. Basically just cream, whiskey, chocolate and maybe nutmeg or something, idk. I can dig up the recipe if anyone’s interested. Edit: 1.5c whisky. Irish whisky preferred but Ive used moderately cheap bourbon and can’t tell the difference. 14oz can sweetened condensed milk 1 pint half and half 3 tbsp chocolate syrup 2 tsp instant coffee, unflavored 2-3 tsp vanilla extract 1/2 tsp almond extract Combine all ingredients except half and half/dairy of your choice. Blend until smooth, store in fridge for 2 weeks. After 2 weeks, add half and half. Should keep for another 2 weeks after adding the half and half. More on reddit.com

Homemade Christmas gifts that aren't sweets?
Flavored nuts are SUPER easy to make. Hm. I might make some for Christmas family gatherings. I usually bring sweet stuff. If your recipients are drinkers then infused vodka might be a good gift. More on reddit.com

r/Cooking on Reddit: What are some homemade food items that can be given as Christmas gifts?
December 7, 2023 -

For the past few years I've tried to save money by making gift baskets of homemade food items. It's fun to spend a couple of weeks mass producing different treats, and it feels more meaningful that I've made everything by hand. Here are some of the things I've made in the past: little jars of Dulce de Leche, cherries soaked in maraschino liquor, limoncello, beef jerky, candied pecans, bottles of balsamic reduction, and "Old Fashioned/Manhattan kits" (not homemade, but it fit with the theme).

I'm running a bit low on inspiration for this year. Does anyone have ideas for food that can be made in bulk?

November 1, 2024 - Chocolate Truffles – A lot of love (and expensive ingredients!) goes into making homemade truffles, but they are so special, it’s worth the effort. I use the best chocolate I can afford, and nestle just 6 to a box. They are so decadent, a half dozen is enough! (May be frozen) Rolled, Frosted Gingerbread ~ Not only are these a classic Christmas cookie, they are sturdy, travel well, and stay fresh for a long time, thanks to molasses and spices.
