Since i'm super poor/cheap, I was planning to make some sweets for my not so close family and friends at christmas. I was hoping for a wide variety of different treats that i can pack into a Chinese noodle box, deco with some ribbon etc.

I was hoping that people would suggest their naughtiest, yummiest recipes for small sweet treats here :)

    I loooove fudge. One batch could easily feed 20 people a piece. The recipe on the back of the marshmallow cream jars is pretty yummy.

    Puppy chow. Crispix, chocolate, peanut butter, vanilla, and powdered sugar. Google the recipe-or its on the back of the cereal box. Super easy, makes a ton, and goes good in small bags/boxes. It's what I do every year! Happy treat making :smile:

    Last year I made dipped pretzels for everyone at work, cost me about 6 dollars. Oreo truffles would be cheap/easy too. Take a package of oreos and crush them or put them in the food processor. Mix with 1 8oz pkg of cream cheese, roll into balls and dip in almond bark. Super easy and yummy. Good luck!

    Rum ball or mint trufles - very easy to make. Again, google a recipe and adapt if you dont like rum etc.

    Soooooo true! Nutella marshmallow puff pastries and various cupcakes with alcohol in them. Just sinful.
