Chocolate covered macadamia nuts.
Very, yummy.
This is a very special treat... from my State.
You can make it yourself.
Just buy whole macadamia nuts... and dip it into melted chocolate or anything else you want.
Cool it.
Then, pack it with wax paper or parchment paper to protect it.
In a cute little tin.

A good fudge recipe is right on the back of Marshmellow Fluff. You can also make any kind of cookie or peanut butter balls.

Peanut brittle was the first thing that came to my mind.

Fudge was the 2nd thing. (My parents have a former client that gives them fudge every year for Christmas.)

Every year I make chocolate truffles of different flavors to my family and friends, they all rave and my gift-giving list gets longer every year. I follow Alton Brown's chocolate truffle recipe from www.foodnetwork.com with slight changes (if you want more info, pm me). I also make turtles with homemade caramel, and this year I will be making chocolate covered pretzel rods (and with caramel too!) and dipped in goodies. They all ship well!

A super simply candy I make is melt a bag of chocolate chips, mild or semi sweet, whatever your preference is. I then add anywhere from a cup to 2 cups of broken up pretzels. Spread this out on a cookie sheet that's been lined with wax paper. Put it in the fridge. Once it's hardened back up break in to pieces. I get rave compliments on this one. Another variation of this is the white choc chips and crushed up candy canes. Both are great!

I think shipping chocolate is very iffy -- the temperature changes can wreck all of your hard work. If you're going to send cookies, send something sturdy like biscotti or shortbread. Caramels and hard candies like butterscotch or lollipops ship very well. Spiced or candied nuts ship very well also, as long as you pack the tins fully so they don't get too jumbled around.

Tins or jars of hot chocolate mix, or cookie mix are easy to send, as well as jams or other things you've canned, but remember to put them in a ziploc bag in case there's any breakage, and pack appropriately to avoid breakage (the US Postal Service will let you send jams or other liquids as long as they're in sealed bags and non-alcoholic). But be forewarned, the glass jars will add to the cost of shipping.

If you don't want to make edible treats but still want to get crafty, you could make bath salts, homemade soaps, handmade lavender sachets, block printed table linens, etc. Enjoy!

Funny, I was just looking at doing the same thing. Here are some websites I have found.
