I do popcorn tossed with the red mix that you use for candied apples. make according to directions. Because that sugar is VERY hot I Put the popped corn on my cookie sheets and dribble it on with a spoon.......oh yeah what about making those chocolate covered apples you see in catalogs. they can be dipped several time and decorated with nuts, sprinkles, ch.chips.....drizzled with white choac. wrapped with cellophane, nice bow etc. (check out Mrs. Prindables dipped choc. apple)

I have a friend who make coasters the same way using 4" squares. She puts pieces of flexible plastic inside after turning inside out. That keeps the wetness from seeping through fabric to the table.

Any Christmas inspired quilt block would do (Christmas trees, wreaths, Santa, etc.) and they can be put together very quickly, usually in just a couple of hours once you have all your materials together.
