Christmas gifts: sweets

 

Squishy marshmallows, perfumed Turkish delights or retro peppermint creams piled into a personalised jar or home-made box make great gifts. Choose classic truffles for a chocoholic mate, cardamom and white chocolate truffles for a sophisticate, or vanilla scented fudge for the traditional type. Kids will adore making peppermint creams and truffles – they make fabulous pressies to give back to the parents-who-have-everything.
