NOT making Christmas Candy and cookies is now a spankable offence!
For years I enjoyed making candy for our family but somehow Christmas lost its magic. Dragon is determined to bring that magic back for me and to bring back the yummy candies I loved to make.
I better get a wiggle on. Memory swats have been promised if i don't have a batch of divinity made by the time he gets home. EEEEKKKK
Uh oh! I remember your post on memory swats. So does my husband...he loved that description.
ReplyDeleteCook, quickly!
The candy thermometer broke, so I have a slight delay. I am to have the kitchen clean and yeverything ready to go when he walks in the door. Divinity is easier when I have an extra set of hands. I am almost glad it was broken!
ReplyDeleteOh no! better get to candy making!! I LOVE candy making and I LOVE divinity! But it is some what of a hassle.
ReplyDeleteI also love making caramels.. mmmm...
Do you make other things besides Divinity?
my Christmas sweets list is a little long. I don't really know why I stopped making them. Rice crispy treats, fudge, date balls, M&M cookies, oatmeal cranberry cookies, peanut brittle. When I get started, I am in the kitchen all day! There is more but I need to dig our my recipe box to remember. Sad I know.
ReplyDeleteNow I am in trouble for not eating. I didn't realize I forgot to eat. Grrr someone could remind me. Yes? And everybody is teasing me about a Christmas present that has been in plain sight for over a week that i haven't noticed. Guess I get a surprise under the tree this year. Hot tea and a warm blanket. Now I get to wait until Dragon gets home with the candy thermometer.
ReplyDeleteThose treats sound lovely :) it's a shame you stopped for a while, nothing like a good incentive to start again eh :) I think you should share some of these recipes? Please :)
