Does anyone know how far in advance I can make Christmas candies and cookies? The cookie recipes gave instructions for freezing the dough (which I did) but not sure how to wrap them up for freezing after baking.

I don’t know about the candies…they are peanut butter cups and these truffles that call for candy coating (no need for tempering) & chocolate. I just am not sure how long they will stay good. Oh and fudge (went for the easy fudge making kit).

Cookies don’t last long in my house so I never have any around after a few days tongue laugh so I’ve never needed to freeze or refrigerate.

Thank you for your time and attention!

I put goodies in Tupperware and store them in a cool place.  (We have a big back porch so this is easy for me to do.)  I’ve made some “stuff” a month ahead of time but usually try to wait until two weeks before doing a lot of baking…...unless it’s something I can freeze.  Sounds like there’ll be lots of good eats at your house!
