CHRITSTMAS TREATS

Every Christmas I bust my ass to make candy for everyone. I never have enough time and always get frustrated tempering chocolate. This year was no different and I wonder why I do this to myself. My kitchen was a complete mess and there was chocolate every where, well there still is chocolate every where since I haven't really cleaned up yet.

I think I used every bowl I have!

I am finally done and once I see all of the finished product I can't help but smile. I love making such yummy treats for people to enjoy so here is what I made this year.


Peanut Butter Nougat

Chocolate covered apricot

Candy Cane truffles

Milk Chocolate Vanilla Bon Bons

Ginger Caramels

Meyer Lemon Bon Bons (from my meyer lemon tree)

Walnut Caramels

Peanut Butter Crunch Bon Bons
