My ornaments are in the oven as I'm writing this. I plan to give out some as part of a hostess gift for Thanksgiving, some more might make it onto wreaths or just hang in front of windows (since it's still several weeks before the Christmas tree goes up). I used a tree shaped cuter, so I added some whole cloves to look like tree decorations (shorten the stem a bit first) and added some extra little holes to try to sew through some string or possibly make bows. Thanks for all the fun. I read this post a year ago and made a mental note of it for the coming year. My ornaments are in the oven as I’m writing this.

I will try to make some up myself this year! I love the smell of cinnamon. Would they stay better if they were sealed a bit? Would that make the scent fade though....... hmmmm I have to sound in with the others who have left comments here, Thank you for sharing! I will try to make some up myself this year!

Why not add some allspice & nutmeg as well? I must say, I'd be hard pressed not to nibble one. How do they taste? ;) Wow – and they’re edible, too!
