If you don't hesitate to regift a bottle of champagne or a fruitcake, you shouldn't hesitate to rewrap some ordinary snack foods into sweet holiday treats. All you really need is chocolate - white and dark/semisweet - and some sprinkles to liven things up. Joe, from Culinary in the Desert Country, made the batch of White Chocolate Dipped Mini Peanut Butter Ritz Bits sandwiches that is pictured above, which have a wonderful combination of sweet and salty to them that makes for great snacking. WellFed also has a few suggestions for chocolate-coated goodies. Their selection also includes chocolate-covered peanut butter sandwich crackers, although they opted for what appears to be a semisweet chocolate rather than Joe's white chocolate, chocolate covered graham crackers and chocolate dipped pretzel sticks.
Marshmallows, Oreo cookies, shortbread cookies and (if you happen to come across any) strawberries also make fantastic candidates for chocolate-dipping.

If you add some mint to the chocolate, it's just like eating a Girl Scout thin mint cookie.

I once bought half-slices of fresh lemon dipped in white chocolate. I'm not much of a white chocolate fan; generally, it's the darker the better. But this, especially brought in from a below-freezing winter afternoon, making the chocolate quite firm, was stunning. It was rather like chewing lemonade. Got it at Li-Lac Chocolates in NYC; I'm not sure if it's even open anymore.
