Christmas Candy Recipes

Homemade Christmas candy is a pure treat during the Christmas gift-giving season.

It is the only time of year that we feel like we can indulge a little and take the time to make special holiday recipes like homemade candy.

I love to make homemade Christmas candy every year.

Christmas candy can be packed in cellophane bags or holiday boxes and tucked into a gift basket.

What is the easiest Christmas Candy to make?

One of the easiest Christmas candy recipes to make is Christmas bark or my Crock Pot nut clusters or cups recipes.

Both Christmas candy recipes start with melting chocolate and adding nuts or dried candy.

Once you have combined the melted chocolate and add-ins you either drop spoonfuls on a cookie sheet or fill paper candy cups and let the chocolate harden.

That is it.

Now you have a delicious homemade Christmas candy to share with friends and family.
