{Chocolate-covered Orange Peels}
In addition to infusing your own alcohol, here are a few sweet ideas (from some of my favorite dessert posts) that are perfect for a little holiday cheer. Just make sure to package them up in ornate tins, pretty boxes, or wrapped in cellophane with a bow. In my opinion, they’re not only the best gifts to make, but to receive as well!
{Chocolate Truffles – just make sure to use seasonally colored sprinkles!}
{Sugar Cookies}
Looks so good!

Love the combination of orange and chocolate in any desert!
My mom has a thing for homemade truffles, and since I’m flat-broke (love college), I thought of your truffle post RIGHT away when I was brainstorming Christmas gifts! She’s going to love them — thanks for the inspiration, Emily!

You make the most beautiful treats! I want to try making everything!
Just a heads up, the oil found in orange peel is indigestible to humans, so best to give that one a miss!

Try this recipe for your orange peel – it also works really well with grapefruit!
So creative and pretty, and perfect for gifts!
