Buckeyes, the Ohio Christmas candy
Can you have a Christmas without buckeyes? I don’t think so, especially in Ohio. After all the buckeye is the state tree. You can’t eat the nuts from the tree, but you can make one of the yummiest candies out there look like the nut from the Buckeye tree.
Dill vinegar
Dill vinegar is very, very easy to prepare. Not only will flavor salads and pickles, bottle it in a nice container and it will make a great gift.
Espresso brownies

Chocolate
Chocolate rum balls
Christmas recipes abound. Everyone has his or her favorite. But many times the recipes are oriented towards the kids, because they enjoy sweets so much. Yet everyone also knows that chocolate knows no age boundary. Spicing it up with another adult favorite - alcohol - makes for a delightful combination. After all, 'tis the season to be merry!
Chocolate fudge
