Christmas Baking Boxes

I make up christmas baking boxes for a few of my neighbors here on the mountain side. I generally include butter tarts, various cookies (chocolate chip, peanut butter, and sugar cookies with icing and decorative sugars). I add candies and a card. The box is well received. I have two more boxes to deliver tomorrow and then my christmas baking delivery is done.

For those who do not fancy to make butter tarts - here is a recipe for Butter Tart Squares.
