My daughter just turned 10 and so now she thinks she rules the kitchen. This year instead of buying her teachers a gift she wants to make a basket with lots of different goodies. I have a few that are simple yet good. Does anyone have any idea that they could share with us? Thanks in advance for all your help.

A good Chex Mix is nice as well. There’s a ton out there. I want to try the caramel chocolate one this year, but Muddy Buddies (Puppy Chow) is a really good one as well as the original.

Also, a candy apple wrapped in pretty cellophane and tied with festive ribbon makes a nice change of pace for the standard apple for your teacher. Roll the apples in nuts or something festive!
