I have only made holiday candy once, it was chocolate covered pretzels... and OMG they are great!
Very cute treat bag!! I do a mix that uses almond bark and has candy in it also, really delicious!

Adorable bag! I love all the layers and the stamp!
This is a beautiful bag. I tried to make holiday candy once for my kids' teachers and it was kitchen disaster. I stick to store bought chocolates now.
Love this cut! I just used it the other day and I love how you used the little pennants on the embellishment!
I love the bag. How pretty. I make lots of holiday candy. All my friend want for Christmas is candy and cookies. I actually have to take two days of from work to get everything done.
Great looking treat bag, with a very versatile design. I used to make fudge, but generally sick to cookies and breads, just haven't made any for the past 3 years. Thanks for the opportunity to win the B is for boy cart.
Fantastic gift bag! I am lovin' this stamp set it's definitely on my to get list this month.
the Boy cart is so neat....would love to have that one, thanks for the chance to win.
such a cute bag I love the bow, TFS.

Lovely bag! Looks like something you'd buy in a store - so pretty!
Such a cute idea. I really need to get my hands on the Artiste cartridge. It just seems so versatile!
Cute bag, perfect for Christmas cookies this year! I make cookies every year and am considering trying candy this year since I have more time. Love this cartridge, would love to add it to my collection.
This is a very pretty bag. I love the coordinating cartridges and stamps. It's particularly handy when I need to put something together quickly, or need to make a bunch of the same card.
We don't make holiday candy, but we sure do love to eat it!
super cute bag

What a sweet project (see what I did there?). It's perfect for the peppermint bark I like to gift to my fellow teacher friends. Though this year I think I'm going to try out my fudge skills. Thanks or the project idea! :)

I LOVE to make Buckeyes for the holidays! (Hey, I'm from Ohio, so they're my favorites!!!) I've also made fudge and pretzel rods dipped in chocolate and rolled in various toppings. Yummmmmmmmmmmmm!!!
Thanks so much for the chance to win this cart ~ such cute cuts!!
This bag is awesome! I need to make it.:) Thanks for everything!
I make chocolate bark - love the salted caramel Martha Stewart recipe. The family loves it too!
I make old fashioned fudge, divinity, and caramels. I learned to make candy from my dad. I love the bag!!!
I don't typically make holiday candy, although this year, I'm thinking about doing it this year for gifts.
I love this cartridge and love to see your creations with it Melanie! I also really like the paper you have used for the bag, such a cute bad for someone lucky! I don't really make candy but my husband bakes cupcakes and cookies!
Very nice treat bag! I usually attempt some type of candy - mostly fudge. Sometimes it's great, others, well, not so great, but my crew loves fudge so they eat it anyway!
Thanks for a chance to win the Boy cartridge. We'd (grandson and me) love to have that one!
That bag is sooo cute! Love making holiday candy with my girls. This year, my grandbaby will get to help. :)

The tag is adorable! Can't wait to get my cartridge in, I just ordered it! My cousin and I usually get together around Christmas time to bake and make holiday candy! We have a great time doing it!
Cute bag! I like to make a variety of treats. PB balls, peppermint bark, cookie bars, lots of diff cookies, lemon bars, choc pretzel rods, etc.
Love the cute bag! I make lots of different cookies,candies and cakes.

Beautiful bag. Some day I will win the lottery and can afford these cartridges, right now I just drool over them. Thanks for sharing.
Love that treat bag. Those papers are fabulous. I haven't made any holiday candy in a few years. My Grandma used to make us tons of different kinds. I miss her.
What a beauty love to make treat holders ;) tfs awesome job ;) Kat
What a cute bag!
Adorable treat bag!! My daughters and I get together every year for a baking and candy making day. Then I fill up containers for everyone to take home on Christnas eve. A wonderful tradition that I look forward to every year!
I don't make special candy for Halloween, but I do for lots of other holidays!
Cute bag. I make holiday candy and cookies at our annual cookie/candy bake with my daughter, Mom, sisters and nieces. We set a side a whole day and go to one of our houses (some even come from out of town) and bake all day. We have a great time!
That treat bag is so cute! NO,I don't usually make holiday candy,but I make lots of cookies.
Love the bag. Yes, I make candy and cookies.
Love your creation, looks great! I have never made holiday candy!
Very lovely bag. My mom taught me how to make fudge from a 1950s Betty Crocker cook book and it is a family favorite. It isn't Christmas without the fudge!
No, I don't make holiday candy. But I am open to eating it. hee hee
Such a great project- this cartridge is still on my wish list! As for making holiday candy, not really- I make tons of holiday treats (baking and such) but not really candy; except candies popcorn!
Sometimes I make holiday candy, sometimes not! I've made fudge and peanut brittle as gifts in the past.
LOVE this treat bag! So cute!
Teresa
Cute bag! Great color combination and anyone would love receiving it. I don't make as much candy as I did when I was young, but make a variety of desserts now.
Would love to win the B is for Boy cartridge - awesome cartridge!
Martha in Leonard TX
Adorable treat bag. I really like the stamp set too. Thanks for the chance to win cartridge as well, and for the great daily ideas!!
Cute bag!
What a fabulous gift bag! Very elegant and pretty!
Yes, I make Christmas candy, several kinds, but my favorite is Kentucky bourbon balls made with bourbon, powdered sugar and pecans covered with chocolate. Yummo!
No holiday candy for me although I may make chocolate covered pretzels with red and green sprinkles. I definitely make Holiday cookie! My Favorite Season of all...next to Cricut Season & Scrapbooking Season...wait...that's all the time! :)
Love that paper. I make almond brittle from my grandmother's recipe box. My family gets upset if I don't do it every year...Tradition!

Love the bag! I try to make atleast one kind of candy a year for Christmas.Useing the almond bark is a great idea.
I don't make a lot of candy, but I like to bake at xmas time.
I love the "medallion" on the bag. And, I have never made holiday candy, but I used to make no bake cookies - which were like candy to me. :)
I love this bag! Perfect for all the goodies made during the holidays. I make mostly cookies but a candy recipe or two always sneaks in there.

I love to make fudge. This year i have altered my lifestyle though, and no longer eat sweets, so plan to make savory oils for people to cook with. lclass003@gmaildotcom
Darling gift bag. I usually make cookies, haven't tried Christmas candies...I'm not that great in the kitchen!
I don't make holiday candy. I do a lot of cookies.
I just LOVE LOVE this bag. Thank you for sharing.

Love the gift bag! My family says it wouldn't be Christmas unless I made my caramel and english toffee..my grandson calls it a little bit of heaven!!
I make holiday candy, cupcakes, cookies, etc! I absolutely love the holidays.
I don't make Holiday candy, but I started making my cards just yesterday. It's hard to decide what to do because there are so many really neat Christmas cards to be made. I like the "NOEL" card made with Theresa Collins Dec 25th cartridege. Would love to win that one someday!!!
Cute bag! TFS
I love making candy for the holidays!
I love to make Holiday candy very cute bag I so want the Artiste cart. Do we have to buy the bundle?

Love your gift bag!!! I just got this cart so it's nice to see the different projects being made with it. TFS.
Very cute bag!! Don't make holiday candy any more...used to..now my daughters have kind of taken that task over, that & cookies..YUM!
I usually make hard candy for the holidays. But last year i made cute boxes and filled them with penny candy. Everyone loved the old fashioned candy from their childhood.
These bags are sooo cute and you can fill it with lots of different goodies!!
This is such a pretty bag. It would add so much to the presentation of a delicious treat. I do make one kind of candy each Christimas - rich chocolate truffles! They are sooooo good. I also occasionally make a nutty bark (almond and chocolate)and fudge. My hips are getting bigger just thinking about it!
The cooler weather coming up is a great time to cook candy, cookies and other deserts. I love the ideas you provide for us.

Peanut Brittle, fudge, divinity. Your bag would be perfect way to gift some candy.
I love making holiday candy, cookies, bread. You name it if it gets baked I love to make it. I just reaganged my pantry because my baking supplies were taking over.
I love the bag. I have the supplies to make it now I think I will try it.
sorry I do not make Xmas candy :-(
I make cookies for Xmas instead with a good friend of mine :-))))Thanks for the chance to win
I love to make almond bark and send it home with guests. In fact, it would look great packaged in this bag. ADORBS!

Love,love,love the bag!
This is an adorable treat bag! I don't make holiday candy, but I make lots of other goodies around Christmas. :)
That is such an adorable cart. Thanks for the chance.
That is such an adorable cart. Thanks for the chance.
Oh, yes, I make easy Christmas candy and cookies, including gingerbread men! I just use storebought mixes instead of from scratch. Dip pretzels and such in yummy chocolate, and white chocolate. Easy peesey! But oh how good it tastes!
Beautiful bag!! You always do!
Also, can't afford the carts right now!:(
So cute! Makes me want to make candy!
Great bag! Holiday candy is a year by year thing. Sometimes I do and some I don't, just depends on how things are going.
Love the bag. I've never made holiday candy, just lots of cookies!
Beautiful treat bag.
I've never made christams candy but I have seen some cool recipes that I would like to try out this christmas.

Wonderful gift bag. Especially like the banner pieces all around the tag. Yes, I make holiday candy. I make fudge. I use a recipe that does not have to be made on stove instead is put in microwave & then refrigerated. It uses Jello Pudding & Bakers Chocolate.

Love the treat bag. My daughter wants to be a pastry chef so she makes lots of cookies and candy for the family and her friends.

Very cute project. I have friends who load me up with candy so I don't make any. Thanks
Cute treat bag :) I have made holiday candy but that was years ago. I'll never forget the clean-up (was cleaning up that glue like brittle for at least a week!) after making 6 batches of peanut brittle for a holiday cookie swap and all I got in return were different variations of almond bark dipped cookies!
What a cute and simple gift bag! Thanks for sharing. I make Christmas cookies and chocolate covered pretzels with my nephews for Christmas. We always made a bunch then deliver them to our few close neighbors. The boys love it but my niece isn't quite old enough yet to join. She loves to eat the product tho! :D
I need to start making some bags ~ too cute! Yes, I make all kinds of candy~ enjoy watching the granddaughters "paint" chocolate molds.
SusanJ in Atlanta
No, I dont make it, but I sure do love to eat it! :)
I love to make peppermint covered pretzels! And people love to eat them!!
Great bag. Love the cartridge.

Very, very cute treat bag--when my kids were young we made candy every Christmas, but when they were grown we stopped. We started making candy again several years ago when the grandkids were old enough to"help". And yes, we are using the same recipes. Great memories.

Rosebud
What a cute bag, I always keep wanting to make some for my sisters and brothers to take home some leftover goodies, but never get around to it. I make tons of Christmas candy, lots of different cookies, squares and even chocolates, I've even tried my hand at chocolate covered cherries, I have a large family that come visit at Christmas and they've come to look forward to all the goodies. I've starting to think I've spoiled them. LOL
What a cute holiday treat bag! I don't do holiday candy - just cookies.
No, no candy making here, just cookies!
I love making holiday candy with old family recipes but the last few years we haven't gotten together to do it. What a great reminder to call the family up and set up a date!
WOW....WOW.......Christmas is around the corner. We really need to get started!!! Love your ideas. Thanks for sharing.
I make all kinds of goodies for the Christmas Holidays. Peanut butter balls, no bake peanut butter cookies & peanut blossom cookies are everyone's favorites!!! Love the card. Christmas is my favorite holiday & love everything that has to do with it.
This is a cute bag! I havent tried making candy yet but I plan to this year, I cant wait!
I love making christmas candy. My boys love to helpmake it for their teachers. I would love to win the b is for boy cartridge.
Rebecca from Kentucky
It depends on time . . . usually it gets away from me and I don't have enough to do all the things I want to do. I try to make one candy - stained glass windows. Easy and not too time consuming. I wish there were more hours in the day to accomplish everything and work!
love it.

If I have time I like to make shortbread cookies. Cute bag. Thanks for to opportunity to win.
Love your treat bag! TFS.
The cooking gene skipped me so for the sake of my loved ones I do not cook anything holiday related. lol.

I tried once, to make holiday candy. I thought it would be a great scrapbook opportunity...not so much. I stick to cookies and dipping Pretzel rods in chocolate.
Besides if you put enough sprinkles and red hots on them- it is almost like candy. Thanks for asking! Beth
Cute treat bag for the holidays to package holiday treats! I've never made holiday candy but have done holiday baked goods! Thanks for sharing!!
I'm in love with the Stamp of the Month! And I love how you used in on your treat bag!
I don't really make candy. I might dip some pretzels in chocolate and sprinkles or cover a marshmallow with chocolate and sprinkles (do you see a trend here?) but that's about it!
I used to make holiday candy, but now my daughter does. She has two little boys who love to help make cookies, marshmello (homemade is so different than store bought), and lots of other treats. These holiday treat bags would be wonderful to package the yummies for neighbors and relatives. Thanks for the inspiration.
I don't make holiday candy, I eat it! I do make Christmas Cookies however using Grandpa's famous Cookie Recipe.

I love homemade Christmas candies ... and I'm GrannyBarbie of four grandsons and would love the cartridge.
It has been a family tradition since I was 13, now I'm 56, to make fudge, 1 3 pound batch with nuts and 1 3 pound batch without nuts. Mom, my two sisters and myself did this for all these years until 6 years ago when she passed away a few months before Christmas. That year no fudge was made, but after a year we all get together and make the fudge and have even started our own family traditions of getting together and making cookies!!!
WE like to make divinity and snow candy (the hard candy you put on the snow to cool).
The bag is adorable...the only issue I have with the Artiste cart is that it looks similar to the TBBM2 cart. Anyone know the difference?
Adorable gift bag. I make no candy, but I eat it all ! :)
great bag, love the soft colors
Very Cute treat bag. Love the layers.
