Cookie Exchanges

Cookie Exchanges have been around for many, many years. Everyone assumes that the only time to have an exchange is at Christmas time. Any holiday is a good excuse for a cookie exchange!

Valentine's Day is a perfect holiday for an adult party at the office. Tell your co-workers a few weeks in advance and make the theme Hugs & Kisses. The boss will love you forever and may even get you a big fat raise!

Teachers are always looking for unique ways to keep the kids occupied at school. The kids are going to have a Valentine's party anyway, they may as well exchange cookies than gobs of candy. The teacher can send a notice home with the kids and have them bring in 2 dozen cookies with their Valentine's cards. A real creative parent could stamp Chinese take-out containers in reds and pinks with Valentine hearts.

A Mother's Day Tea party would be a fun holiday to exchange cookies. Tea parties are a natural for dainty cookies and pastries. Kids could be included, or not. Leave them home and give Mom the day off!

Cherries and chocolate are a match made in heaven. Cherry Kisses are a great choice for Valentine's Day. You can make them with the favorite Hershey's Chocolate Kisses we all know and loved as kids. Or better yet, try all the Hershey Kisses, like Hugs & Kisses, the Hershey Truffle Kiss or the Special Dark Kiss. Any way you make them will likely land you with tons of compliments ~ and hugs and kisses of your own! Give someone you love a Cherry Kiss for Valentine's Day! And while you're at it, try Chocolate French Silk Pie, the New York Style Strawberry Cheesecake recipe, White Chocolate Raspberry Cheesecake and the Chocolate Zebra Cheesecake recipes. They're all good choices for the Holiday of Love!
