I wish you a Happy New Year as well. Quite a few of my Christmas presents were either boxes of biscuits or chocolates, both very acceptable .
When it comes to giving or receiving gifts always remember that it's not the gift itself that matters, it's the thought behind it that matters. Your friends may only have given you snacks, but they thought enough of you to buy them for you. By the same token, I'm sure your friends were happy to receive something from you even if it wasn't very much.
