CLOSED-Holiday Traditions with Betty Crocker, GladWare®, & Safeway! & GIVEAWAY! Happy Holidays Gift Guide Feature!

Hey All!

It’s that time of year again! It’s time to spread holiday cheer to your friends and family with the gift of freshly baked Betty Crocker treats. From a Snowman Coconut Cake to Classic Gingerbread Man Cookies, sharing the warmth and sweetness has never been easier. I love to bake especially around the Holidays. I bake cakes, to cupcakes to cookies! I love to use Betty Crocker Sugar cookies especially if I’m making a lot of cookies, like for my teens school. It’s cost effective and the cookies taste amazing!

This year, why not start a new tradition? With a little help from Betty Crocker, GladWare®, and the Safeway Family of Stores, you can keep your loved ones’ hearts and homes filled with holiday spirit and homemade goodness of Betty Crocker. Whip up a plate full of cookies using a recipe from BakeSweetMemories.com and host a cookie exchange!

What better way to escape the hustle and bustle of the holiday season than inviting your friends and family over for a night of swapping cookies, recipes, and memories? I actually just bought this Cookie Exchange kit to organize and decorate my Cookie Exchange! I’m so excited to be hosting my Cookie Exchange for my coworkers.

In case you’ve never heard or done A Cookie Exchange, it’s a wonderful way to collect an assortment of different cookies, without having to bake all of them yourself. The concept is simple: Host a party and invite friends to bring a batch of their favorite homemade cookies. Then everyone swaps cookies and returns home with a delectable selection to have on hand during the holidays. During the exchange participants collect each type of cookie featured in the exchange along with a copy of the recipe if there is one. It’s a great fun activity to hold during the Holidays!

And be sure to keep your cookies fresh for the exchange and share them in GladWare! Glad® food storage products are the perfect solution for preparing, storing and transporting holiday goods. They´re also great for gift giving too, so count on Glad® products to help keep your holiday foods fresh and festive and ready to serve during your Cookie Exchange.

And from December 8th through December 14th , visit the Safeway family of Stores (which includes Dominick´s, Tom Thumb, Randalls, Vons, and Genuardi´s) to purchase any two participating Gladware products and get a free Betty Crocker Cookie Pouch while supplies last.  So you can even get ready for your Cookie Exchange for free with the help of Safeway and Gladware!

For great holiday recipe ideas, how-to videos, and tips for hosting your very own cookie exchange, visit BakeSweetMemories.com. While you´re there, be sure to play the new Sweet Memories game that gives you the chance to instantly win free Betty Crocker products!

If you hold your Cookie Exchange, I promise it will be a great time and it will certainly be a fun memory to cherish for the Holidays!
