20 Delicious Homemade Edible Christmas Gifts

By Manuela Williams

20 Homemade Christmas Food Gifts.

Christmas is nearly here! If you need more ideas for a last minute type Christmas present, then why not try making a food gift? Food presents are always an appreciated gift, especially when it’s something out of the ordinary! Continuing with my Frugal Christmas Gift Guide here are 20 Delicious Homemade Edible Christmas Gifts!

12 Delicious Homemade Edible Christmas Gifts- Homemade gifts don't just have to be DIY crafts! This year, give the gift of a delicious treat with these homemade edible Christmas gifts! | diy gift, handmade gift, homemade gift ideas, desserts, recipes, #Christmas #foodGift #ACultivatedNest

  • Personal Food Gifts. Giving the edible gifts is a wonderful way to show how much you care by giving a special gift that was made specifically for the each person.
  • Homemade Gifts. Each of these gifts say how much you truly care about someone by taking the time and effort and showing love for others.
  • Gifts for those hard to buy for. The gift of food is just right for that recipient who is difficult to buy for, has everything, or even those you do not know well. Food gifts will be the one thing everyone needs!

While any type of food gift is sure to be appreciated (everyone loves food!), food gifts that are uncommon are more special! They can be uncommon in shape, flavor, or packaging. So this year, instead of the typical cookies or brownies, give some of these unique edible Christmas gifts instead!

I like to give my homemade food gifts in Mason jars, cardboard bakery boxes, or cellophane treat bags. Just add a ribbon, bow, and/or pretty label to either of those, and you have a fun, festive, and tasty gift ready to give!

1. Chocolate Covered Buttermilk Cherries from BakerGirl. A bag of these would sure to be a favorite gift!

2. White chocolate dipped candy canes from Christy Robbins. This combines two of my favorites- peppermint and chocolate!

3. Oreo Peppermint Bark, a yearly Christmas favorite in our home, from Big Oven. Chocolate bark is always a great homemade food gift, and this one has Oreos in it!

4. Gluten free peppermint patties from Back for Seconds. It’s easy to make gluten free DIY Christmas food gifts, and I’m sure these peppermint patties are delicious!

5. Christmas Candy Crunch from Simple Easy Creative by Hoosier Homemade. This sounds delicious, and easy for a big family to share.

6. Hot cocoa popcorn from ShutterBean. Flavored popcorn is always a great gift for me!

7. Peanut Butter Fudge from Belle of the Kitchen is a Christmas must at our house. Wrap it in colored cellophane and tie with a pretty bow, then you have the perfect gift.

8. Peppermint Crunch Popcorn from Mom On Timeout. If I made this to give as a gift, I’d have to make double so I could keep half!

9. Slow cooker hot chocolate mix in a jar from 365 Days of Slow Cooking. I love food gifts in jars! The food is one gift, and the jar is a second gift once the food is gone!

10. Peppermint hot chocolate mix in a jar from Mommy Octopus. There are so many wonderful homemade edible Christmas gifts you can make! As a hot chocolate fan, I’d love to get this.

11. Hot Cocoa Mason Jar Gift from A Pumpkin And A Princess. Isn’t this a cute and clever way to gift hot chocolate?

12. Hot cocoa mix ornaments from Sprinkle Some Fun. This is so fun! It would be easy to make several of these to give each family member their own hot cocoa ornament gift.

13. Christmas Crunch Mix by Baker Mama is not only delicious, but one batch will make several gifts for friends and neighbors.

14. Festive & Easy Rum Balls by Sally’s Baking are a fun gift for adult friends and are so easy to make.

15. Everyone will love Bishop’s Bread with Cherries and Pecans  from Bramble Wine Cottage with its tasty nuts and Cherries topped of with a delicious glaze.

16. For an adorable Christmas gift, try Fudge Christmas Trees from Hungry Happenings, they will be a favorite with only three ingredients.

17. Crafting a Family Dinner creates beautiful White Chocolate Candy Cane Crunch Fudge with a creamy candy with a refreshing mint flavor.

18. Pistachio Chocolate Balls from Well Plated is an easy no-bake gift that is vegan, dairy free, and gluten free, yet is still bursting with festive flavor.

19. Life, Love, and Sugar delivers the Best Southern Pralines Pecan Recipe for a scrumptious cookie/candy combo that will melt in your mouth.

20. I remember getting Spritz Cookies as a child and can almost taste the flavors of butter, almond, and vanilla just thinking about them. This recipe can be found at Simply Joy.

Aren’t these wonderful DIY edible gift ideas? They’re easy and inexpensive to make, and look so delicious!
