Whether you are looking for a sexy chocolate sauce for your sweetie, or a more cheerful cookie for a friend, all they require is a little naptime baking, a clear plastic bag tied with a ribbon, and your gift is ready!

Fudge

1. Homemade Chocolate Sauce: This luscious sauce can be made with or without the peppermint extract and is perfect for drizzling over ice cream or pound cake.

2. Peppermint Chocolate Bark: Who says this only for Christmas? Chocolate bark is particularly great for friends and is sturdy enough to travel in purses or car trunks. This is a great gift for a friend or co-worker.

Blondies

3. Butterscotch Chocolate Chunk Blondies: One of the best gifts for friends with kids, these thick bars are studded with awesome chocolate chunks. They hold universal appeal, making them perfect for both parents and children.
