COST SAVING CHRISTMAS TREATS

It's crunch time,Christmas is right around the corner and most people are still looking for Christmas gifts for teachers,bus drivers,co-workers,neighbors or postal workers. As a mother on the go, I'm always looking for anything that will save me time and money!! Pecan Delight is my cost saving treat that I give out every year.I make enough to give out to the bus driver,teachers,janitorial staff at my children's schools and my co-workers. With the help of my children, I turned my kitchen into Santa's workshop, I made sure my kids took part in creating a tasty treat for their teachers,they really enjoyed personalizing the Christmas cards. Listed below is the recipe for my Pecan Delight, also a cute gift idea that I made for my co-workers.I brought a package of cute Christmas treat bags from the Dollar Tree and Christmas treat boxes and frosted bakery bags from Big Lots(my go to stores). I also brought several boxes of candy canes and a box of Christmas cards. All for the low price of $8!! After purchasing the sugar,butter,pecans,and graham crackers to make the Pecan Delight, I spent $15. For a little over $23 with tax, I was able to give 20 people tasty Christmas presents!!
