Teacher Gifts

Tomorrow is LM's last day of school before Christmas break.  I put together these little gift bags for his teachers.

I can't for the life of me find the site where I got these labels, but they were a free download.  If I come across them I will give you the link.  Inside the bags are half dipped chocolate covered pretzels with white chocolate and candy cane pieces sprinkled on them.  Why half dipped?  Because I usually break half the pretzels when I try and take them out of the chocolate with tongs.  This was much much easier to do and I got more out of the batch of chocolate :)  Another homemade gift I did was peppermint hot cocoa mix.  I used this Alton Brown recipe, but substituted candy cane pieces for the cayenne.  I just make sure to tell people who have little ones to let the candy pieces dissolve before giving it to them.  I finished another gift for my son that I will try and take a picture of later when he is in bed.  Right now I am going to go make some hot cocoa and sit with the kiddos and enjoy looking at the snow outside :) :) :)
