Treat

A treat recipe is a food or drink that is designed to be especially pleasing or indulgent. Treat recipes often include special ingredients or preparation techniques, and may be created to mark a special occasion.

The history of treat recipes is closely intertwined with the history of desserts. Early desserts were often little more than sweetened, sometimes spiced, breads or fruits. By the medieval period, however, desserts were becoming more elaborate, often featuring cream, custards, and sweet sauces.

In the early modern period, sugar became increasingly available and affordable, leading to even more elaborate desserts. Recipes for rich cakes, cookies, and other sweet treats proliferated.

Advice

boxes

When making treat boxes, it is important to plan ahead and make sure you have all the necessary supplies. Gather the boxes, tissue paper, ribbons, and other decorations you need before you start. Measure and cut the tissue paper so that it will fit nicely in the box. Fill the box with treats and make sure that the treats are well-packed and secured. Finally, decorate the box with ribbons and other decorations to create a unique and personalized look.
