## 🎁 Perfect for Sharing (or Keeping for Yourself)

When I brought a tray of these to a holiday gathering, the reaction was unanimous: **everyone loved them**. Some went back for seconds… and thirds. Others asked for the recipe before they even finished their first bite.

They also make adorable gifts. Just cut them into squares, wrap them in parchment, and tuck them into holiday tins or gift boxes. It’s a homemade present straight from the heart—and kitchen.
