This is one of our absolute favorite recipes for gift-giving. It’s easy, the kids can help, and it freezes beautifully so make a few batches and you’ll have a sweet homemade treat for when company drops in or when you need to whip up a hostess/teacher/neighbor/mail delivery person/etc. gift. It’s versatile–cut into small squares it fills a coffee mug for a cute presentation, chop it coarsely and use it as an ice cream topping, or you can cut it into biscotti-size bars and wrap in cellophane and ribbon. Enjoy!
