How is it we don't have a holiday homemade/food gift thread? Can we start one?

I looked through great threads and the closest I found was one of food related gifts, such as gadgets. Am I blind or losing it, because seems we must've done this before.

Could we start one so we have foods/recipes/etc we make to gift all in one place?

Oh hey I'm also trying to come up with ideas of something for folks that are trying to avoid lots of sugar/gluten. That I have to mail. Yeah, not having much luck.

 
I'll kick it off with REC: Cashew Macadamia Crunch

Cashew Macadamia Crunch
Perfect for the holidaze...fast, easy, and fantastically good! (I have a hard time not eating it all!)

2 cups (11.5 oz. pkg.) milk or semi-sweet chocolate chips
3/4 cup coarsely chopped salted or unsalted cashews
3/4 cup coarsely chopped salted or unsalted macadamia nuts
1/2 cup (1 stick) butter, softened
1/2 cup sugar
2 tablespoons light corn syrup

Line 9-inch square pan with foil, extending foil over edges of pan; butter foil (or spray with Pam). Cover bottom of prepared pan with chocolate chips.

Combine cashews, macadamia nuts, butter, sugar and corn syrup in large heavy skillet; cook over low heat, stirring constantly, until butter is melted and sugar is dissolved. Increase heat to medium; cook, stirring constantly, until mixture begins to cling together and turns golden brown.

Pour mixture over chocolate chips in pan, spreading evenly. Cool. Refrigerate until chocolate is firm. Remove from pan; peel off foil. Break into pieces. Store tightly covered in cool, dry place.

Makes about 1- 1/2 pounds of candy.
