My sister-in-law did a fun group Christmas gift one year, and we are giving it this year. She ordered a variety of gourmet treats from Ethel M, and had the package shipped on ahead to the grandparents house. Over the holiday, we all enjoyed the treats tremendously--it was a generous gift to everyone.

These chocolates and treats are expensive--be prepared. The caramel apples are $10 each! But let me tell you, each apple is twice the size of a regular apple. And these caramel apples are the best caramel apples I've ever had--they're a perfect blend of tart granny smith apple with sweet caramel & chocolate stripe. We just cut up an apple into many slices, and passed them around.

The pecan brittle is to die for. And you can just look at the hand-painted chocolates to see how wonderful they are.

ummmm......I can't wait to get to the grandparents!
