Ho Ho Ho

I knitted this Father Christmas quite a few years ago  and every year  he sits under our Christmas tree with Rudolph.

This year I have made some edible gifts. I have coated  individual Kentish Cobnuts with melted chocolate and rolled them in cocoa powder. I put them into individual Santa bags that I couldn't resist getting from Hobbycraft. Also, I have made chocolate squares with a selection of nuts and fruit. I followed this recipe found on Lavender and Lovage. 
It's full of apples, nuts and cranberries and is delicious. I shall certainly be using this recipe again.
