It’s always ‘sweet’ when you find a well-priced candy or chocolate that is also delicious, so we were pleasantly surprised with the sample of Tim Hortons Old-Fashioned Maple Fudge that was recently delivered to SavvyHQ. It’s made in Quebec with real butter and maple syrup and its old-fashioned flavour and crumbly texture makes it seem much more expensive than the $4.95 it is. Combine it with a gift card, and you’ve got a perfect gift for the teacher, the paperboy or the babysitter. We recommend stocking up next time you’re getting your double-double, and if you end up with a few extra at the end of the festive season, well…that probably would not be the end of the world as a little fudge might just be what we all need to get through January, February and March.
Over the next few days we will be stopping in at friends, visiting family, and entertaining at home. Each of these occasions will require gifts of some description. One simple and cost-effective gift idea is a Mason jar or pretty bowl filled with Holiday Snack Mix. It is one of my favourite hostess gift or snack ideas to have on hand during the holiday season. Gifts from the kitchen are always a big hit with everyone, no matter where you are.
Homemade snack mix (otherwise known as bits-and-bites or nuts-and-bolts) is insanely easy to make and I usually have most of the ingredients on hand. This recipe is a great way to use up leftover cereal.
There are many different versions of snack mix recipes—on cereal boxes, food websites, and in family cookbooks, but this particular recipe was passed on to me by one of my closest friends. Add or omit ingredients to create your own family holiday snack mix.

where do i find fudge @in buffalo ny?
I was thrilled to receive Tim Hortons Old Fashioned Maple Fudge for Christmas as a little ‘token’ gift from a friend. Being a senior citizen I receive numerous sweets & treats from family and friends. Today (April 25, 2010) I decided to open it for a treat. The package was sealed & when finding it was individually wrapped, thought this should be SO FRESH! Not so. Upon opening the product I found that I could not even break it up with my teeth. I was ROCK HARD! I am so disappointed - not only did I not get my treat, I would never humiliate the person who kindly gave me this gift as they would feel terrible. Do you have a comment in this regard?
