Decorative Packaging

Yummy Gift Idea

This is a great way to share your culinary talents with your friends.  You can give thoughtful gifts while not busting your budget.  This particular recipe is for Minty Hot Fudge Sauce… We have snow on the ground but I am now wishing I had ice cream.

Make your gift extra special by packing it in a basket with an ice cream scoop, some nuts and maraschino cherries and of course napkins.  Tie a narrow decorative ribbon around the jar and put a sticker on the top with the directions or recipe.
