These almond joy bites are quick and easy to make and perfect for company. 

Hey yall!  How is your Christmas shopping coming along?  I think I’m doing good.  I get to this point every year.  I have the kids done and I feel like a huge weight is lifted off.  Yesss!  The closet is stocked full of hidden gifts and I feel like I can sit back and relax.  

And then I write out who I have left to buy gifts for and I start to get antsy.  I still have my whole family to buy for!  Insert panic mode here.  

You would think that since I love to make lists that I would get to this point sooner.  But nope.  Totally not the case.  I think it’s because I start to gather gifts for the kids in August.  I see something they would like and snag it early.  I’m not a big online shopper but I do love me some Zulily.  They have great deals but I have to shop early because I know they take awhile to ship.  

And to be totally honest – I’m not even sure what I have hidden in the closet for them.  I have a general idea but its really a surprise for me when I start wrapping.  

For the next few weeks I will be brainstorming gifts and hopefully crossing off a few names on my list.  And baking.  Shopping and baking.  Because that’s how I deal with stress.  

Oh I have 8 people I need gifts for in 4 days?  Perfect.  I’ll make some Almond Joy bites and then worry about it.  

See?  It works out perfectly.
