as easy as pb&j

Homemade gifts are always a welcome respite from the usual mass commercialization of the holiday season. Plus, more the motivation to experiment in the kitchen!

I’m almost embarrassed to post this recipe on my blog because it’s just SO simple.
It’s a great gift for any Nutella or Reeses’ fanatic (and who isn’t? I happen to be both).
I gave it to my dear friend in a Secret Santa exchange and she really enjoyed it!

STEP FOUR:

Pour into jar(s), and let set at room temperature until firm!

STEP FIVE:

Don’t let your family and friends know just how easy it was to make
