Christmas Candies!!!

      I love making candy and have been doing it every year since high school.  I owe this passion to my sister in-law, Kirsten, who truly taught me what I know.  She is an amazing cook and has truly inspired me to love cooking in general, but most of all cooking CANDY!  I started out making candy and delivering it on little paper plates to just family and friends, and it has grown every year since then.  I now make over 100 boxes of chocolates every year for Christmas and I love doing it!  Some of the things in this last year box included:
-Peanut brittle
-Fudge
-Turtles
-Oreo treats
-Oreo truffles
-Peppermint bark
-Shattered glass (a type of hard candy)
-Oreo truffles
-Chocolate pretzels
In previous years I have done: Reeses cups, caramellos, popcorn, suckers, chocolate suckers and more!

Here are some pictures of my kitchen covered in the yummy goodies!
