To make it easy, our Christmas Cart foodie gurus have compiled 6 uber-impressive treats to try. Our edible Christmas gifts are sure to make tastebuds dance.
Christmas Wreath Biscuits
Gaining a massive green light of approval for both looks and flavour, Christmas Wreath Biscuits are an ideal edible Christmas gift that, when presented properly, can make cute homemade Christmas decorations as well. Just wrap each Christmas wreath biscuit individually in tightly tied cello or cookie bags, and attach a ribbon to hang on your Christmas tree. The great news is that most of the ingredients are pantry staples, so the recipe for these biscuits is relatively fuss-free. Just get your hands on a good fluted cutter and Bob is your uncle (who will also probably love these edible Christmas gifts!).
