Did you make the mess or did Garrett?! Ha ha! The treats sound yummy!
I guess I better get busy, because now my pregnant cravings are at an all time high. =) Thanks for the great ideas. You can't get enough of delicious things to make for Christmas time. Happy holidays!
Sounds yummy! We made goodie plates too, but this year I did it with two other people. We each made 2 dozen treats and then we switched so the plates were loaded but the time was minimal. Perfect for me this year.
