Remove the labels from the frosting cans, wash, dry, and replace the label with pretty Christmas wrapping paper. Fill cans with cut pieces of assorted flavors of fudge for gift giving. If you save these through out the year while you bake cakes, you'll have extra....they can hold 5 or 6 cookies-just the right amount for a quick gift at the office or for the post man or babysitter.
