Homemade sweets for Hampers

Sharono_3

Hi,
I was hoping to do some sweets with Kids for hampers as presants,
They have already made the flannel reindeers and have a few more ideas form this site we,ll do,
But its the sweets i,m a bit worried about--i just thought we,d do Co!!!! Ice, Fudge etc--i have the Jars for them so they,ll be stored ok but how far in advance can i make them? i don,t want them been opened christmas day for tem all to have gone off , i know someone asked advice on making fudge on here this morning but i can,t find it now to see what advice she got,

Also wanted to make a flannel snowman--any advice welcome:beer:

I've got this website stored ready for Xmas - not sure if it'll be any help. There are lots of different recipes - for so many different flavours!

There is this one too for fudge made in the microwave:

I've also got Honeycomb Toffee:

Hope these will get you started. Let me know how you get on. I'm planning on doing the same for presents. xxx

This website is also really helpful - it shows you lots of different things to put in a jar.
