Homemade gifts are actually great for the holidays because it's meaningful and it's usually something that you can't get elsewhere. Are any of you making homemade gifts this year? On our site we actually have some great recipes for edible gifts like this one for Cookie Biscotti Sticks.



Cookie Biscotti Sticks

Liven up your next cookie swap with these extravagant cookie sticks. They're impressive in size and mimic biscotti in length and crunch. Package in a clear bag and seal with a twist tie. For holiday wrapping, use burlap gift bags tied with raffia and gift tags.

Yield: 1 dozen

* 1 cup firmly packed light brown sugar

* 2/3 cup butter

* 1/4 cup light corn syrup

* 1/4 cup creamy peanut butter

* 1 teaspoon vanilla extract

* 3 1/2 cups uncooked regular oats

* 1 (12-oz.) package semisweet chocolate morsels

* 1 cup butterscotch morsels

* 2 tablespoons shortening

* 1/2 cup creamy peanut butter

* 1/2 cup coarsely chopped peanuts

1.

Stir together brown sugar, butter, and corn syrup in a large saucepan; cook over medium heat until sugar dissolves and butter melts. Remove from heat. Stir in 1/4 cup peanut butter and vanilla. Gently stir in oats. Press into bottom of an ungreased 13" x 9" pan lined with aluminum foil. Bake at 375° for 20 to 22 minutes or until browned.

2.

Melt together chocolate morsels, butterscotch morsels, and shortening in a saucepan over medium heat, stirring until smooth; stir in 1/2 cup peanut butter. Spread over baked cookie crust; sprinkle with peanuts. Let cool in pan on a wire rack 20 minutes. Cover and chill 2 to 3 hours or until firm. (Or pop them in the freezer to speed cooling. Just be sure to let them stand 5 minutes at room temperature before cutting.)

3.

Lift uncut cookies out of pan using foil as handles. Cut crosswise into approximately 1"-thick sticks using a large chef's knife. Wrap in cellophane bags or plastic wrap for gift giving.

I would like to have my own kingdom.

Nomadsville, or Nomad Springs.

I would rule with an iron fist and if my subjects tried to poison my pie I would make an example of them.
