I've made your crock pot clusters for a few years now and love them. Will have to give these a try. Let me ask you though, and I know this is a dumb question but be kind, I'm totally a novice at baking!! But when you give these to your neighbors how do you gift them?? In a little box?? Just not real sure about that but would love to do it.

You can buy cute little cellophane bags at dollar stores or craft stores (we have even seen them at the grocery store on the holiday aisle). Some are clear and some have Christmas prints on them. If the bags are too long, you can easily trim them down to the length you want them. They usually come with colored twist ties, or you could use ribbon. It's a fun and inexpensive way to give these as gifts! Hope this helps and thanks so much for stopping by our blog!

Perfect! Thank you. I actually want to give these to our missionaries so I'll get some good sized bags! Thanks again
