21 Edible Gifts For Mom This Mother's Day
Show Mom how much she's loved this Mother's Day by baking the most delicious edible treats, just for her. You don't have to be a professional chef to be capable of making tasty cookies and candy that are pretty enough to be the most adorable gift. Swap the overpriced box of chocolate truffles for your own handmade version, which will be so much more appreciated as a result of all the hard work and love that you have put into creating them.
Chewy Salted Vanilla Caramels
Homemade candy makes for a fun and fancy gift. Wrap up these vanilla caramels in waxed paper, and tuck them in a pretty box on a bed of tissue paper for the sweetest Mother's Day gift.
Chocolate Chip Cookie Dough Truffles
Allow your mom to embrace her inner child this Mother's day with these kid-friendly chocolate chip cookie dough truffles. The cookie dough is hidden inside the truffle exterior, so no one needs to know she's not eating a rich chocolate ganache, and is instead gorging on her favorite childhood treat.

Peanut Butter Chocolate Fudge
These squares of soft peanut butter and chocolate fudge perfectly balance the salty and sweet flavors, making it worryingly easy to eat multiple pieces in one sitting. Just the kind of self-indulgent behavior that Mom deserves to give into on Mother's Day.
