DIY peppermint patties (quick, easy!), caramels with salt or cinnamon, old-fashioned whipped divinity, herbed almonds, fruit jellies, and slabs of toffee -- here are all of our favorite recipes for Christmas candy. Browse through; you might find one more treat to round out your holiday giving.
How I wish you did this about a week ago, I've been going all over your site getting most of these recipes and now here they are in one place.
I've already made the cocoa molasses toffees, and the oreo truffles. I am working on the Orange Truffles and the peppermint patties right now.
I plan on making up little gift tins for all my friends by the end of the weekend. I see a couple of things here that I missed and would be great to add to the list of things I'm including. Thanks :D

I made the oreo truffles for a holiday party this weekend and they were eaten up! I made half with regular oreos and half with mint oreos. If I used the mint oreos again, I would scrape out some of the filling or cut down the cream cheese though because they are double stuffed and were alot harder to roll into the balls.

Great ideas and pretty photos! I went with toffee this year:

I wish I had thought to make fruit jellies--there's always next year, I guess!
