Candyland

My mom came down yesterday so we could make some scrumptious candy (thank you weather for allowing it to happen). We made southern sour cream pralines, panuche (is that how you spell it?) fudge, chocolate peanut butter fudge, Christmas toffee, cream cheese truffles, cashew clusters, peanut butter cups, and........... I think that's all. My house smells like straight up sugar. Delicious.

It's true when they say kids need to actually touch the stove to never do it again. Adelaide has always reminded me that the stove is hot, hot. Well, regardless of her warning, she touched a burner today (on purpose) and has two little blisters on her fingers. The Curious George Band-aids made it all better.

This displays only a small portion of the ingredients we used.

The final products (plus some in the fridge).

The final disaster. Even after we re-washed many dishes.


It was so much fun! Thanks for coming mom. We ended the night with a little Center Street Musical Theater's, A Christmas Carol as well. I am feeling the Christmas spirit!
