I love making homemade food gifts for the Holidays. Every year I scour cookbooks, magazines, and online recipe sites for new ideas that my friends and family will love. However, sometimes good intentions don’t get the job done and I run out of time. Simple recipes like Christmas Crunch can still be put together at the last minute without investing a lot of time or creating additional stress. All you need is equal parts of the three ingredients below and you have a gift ready to go. You can package it in a pretty food bag, a jar, a tin, or in a Holiday bowl wrapped in cellophane. The best part is that you do not have to make a cute tag with instructions for preparation (especially nice for those of us that are craft challenged!).
Christmas Crunch
1 cup walnuts, coarsely chopped
1 cup dried cranberries
1 cup white chocolate chips
Stir together all three ingredients in a large bowl. Store mix in an airtight container. This recipe can be made up a week or more in advance, and it can be multiplied to make a larger batch. Just measure out equal amounts of each ingredient and stir together.
Frugal Tip: Trail mixes like Christmas Crunch are always good gifts for men and work perfectly as a stocking stuffer. But, if you need a recipe without nuts, check out this Nut Free Trail Mix recipe.
