I am sure you have all had muddy buddies before. This is a variation with a nice Spring twist of lemon. These lemon buddies are so yummy and so easy. It is the perfect quick gift. It would be perfect for Mother’s Day. Just put some in a cellophane bag with a ribbon and you are good. I also found some cute free printables that you could add to your gift at Anders Ruff, Project Nursery, and Catch My Party.
I also think it would be cute to include this in a lemon or yellow themed gift basket. You could get anything yellow like kitchen towels or dish rags. You could also go with anything lemon like lotion, soap, body wash, etc.
I also thought this would be a great gift to drop off to a friend who just needs a pick me up. You could add a tag that says “When life gives you lemons make something sweet”. Then you could also include the recipe on a card. Wouldn’t that just be the perfect thing to cheer someone up!
Of course a bag of these along with a certificate for my cookbook would also be an excellent gift! My cookbook is now available for pre-order and will be released in August. There is a free printable certificate to give now as the gift and them the book will arrive in August.
I also have a review today for you on my review page so be sure to check that out too!
