Sweet Dreams






Candy!
We made candy for days. Seriously, we made candy everyday for over a week. It was wonderful. Nothing puts you in the Christmas spirit more than making toffee, brittle, divinity, caramels, truffles, mints, fudge and chocolates.
The technique is difficult. Dipping and shelling takes practice and more practice. Confectioners are highly skilled ... now I know why truffles and chocolates cost so much.
For those of you back home I know you have already seen and eaten or given away most of the 15 pounds of candy I mailed back to Louisiana! Glad I could share with folks back home for once...Merry Christmas!
