My Fave Holiday Treats

Growing up one of my favorite things was to help making cookies, candy, cakes, and quick breads to give to neighbors and family friends. We would make large trays filled with wonderful goodies and it was a great family activity and I know that everyone that received a goodie tray really enjoyed each item on there.

Here are just a few of the treats that we would make for our goodie trays.
