The Best Way to Send Edible Gifts
First and foremost, only ship non-perishable gifts that are stable at room temperature. Gifts that require refrigeration are best delivered directly to the recipient in person.Items such as coffee cakes, seasoned nuts, candy, unfrosted brownies and cookies, drink mixes and fruits generally do well.When mailing, wrap items snuggly in a decorative tin or container, allowing little movement.Wrap the tin or container in plastic wrap to keep it airtight during transit. This will keep the freshness in and moisture out.Avoid using breakable glass containers for shipping.Check with your local post office for specific instructions of how to send items that need to be kept at a certain food safe temperature.
It’s also helpful to send the recipe, uses and storage instructions with the treats so, the recipients can recreate and enjoy the gift all year long. Up next, 20 Easy No-Bake Christmas Candy Recipes.
