How to package up homemade baked goods

Wouldn’t this just be lovely to receive!  Yuuuummm! 🙂

These boxes are super simple and can be made in a jiffy.  The best part is probably stacking them all up and adding ribbon but picking out the paper is pretty fun too!  Choose three coordinating scrapbook papers, medium- heavy weight paper works best.  Then choose three coordinating solid papers for the bottoms of the boxes.

Packaging homemade treats

Here are some of our  family favorite homemade goodies…

chocolate dipped candy cookies

Candy chocolate dipped cookies

We filled the bottom box with our CANDY COOKIES which we then dipped half in white chocolate and sprinkled with mini holiday M&M’s and chopped peanut butter M&M’s officially turning these cookies into candy!

We filled the middle box with Chocolate CAKE BALLS.  This middle sized box is the most popular size perfect for four large truffles, cake balls, or peanut butter balls.

Last but definitely not least, we filled our smallest box with some CHRISTMAS CRUNCH which we will be posting shortly.

I just bagged up the cookies and Christmas Crunch bites in zip lock baggies.  I lined the middle box with Syran wrap and wrapped up and around cake balls and secured with ribbon.

You can fill the bottom of boxes with shimmering shredded paper or if you cannot find any, you can raid your Easter supplies and use some Easter grass!

It only cost $12 for the box of mini candy canes and two bags of chocolates.  I had enough to make 3 gift towers so this keeps them under $5 each!
