It's All a Blur!!! - part 1

Del and Kylie putting the first of MANY fondant
batches out on a cookie sheet to cool.

After the fondant is cool enough, they both
take it and begin to pull it like taffy.

The chocolate was melted and the 'dipping'
began...a finger here and a finger there.


And what to our wondering eyes should appear?
Jordan hopped an earlier flight and showed up
3 hours earlier than we were expecting him.

This is only SOME of the final product after
a very long 5 hours. So Yummy.....

At the beginning of Christmas week, Kylie decided she wanted to make homemade chocolates with her daddy to give to her co-workers. I knew we were in for a long haul. But, I was determined this Christmas that the season was going to include 'all good things desired for the holidays'. I'm not a candy maker, but I am a good 'cleaner upper'. So that became my contribution. I followed them around, cleaning up their messes and it turned out perfect. The candy was wonderful as was the experience. So for two solid days, we made chocolates, learning a lot of inside secrets along the way until by the end of the experience, we felt like experts, and the goodness of the candy was proof of our talents. Fun fun memories of our homemade candy.
