christmas candy!

it's christmas candy time!

julie & haley were missed dearly, as i begun my first solo christmas candy extravaganza.  two full days of candy making, & all 150 peanut butter balls & 100 amaretto balls are finished!

{not wrapped.  not even started to wrap.  not even started to cut plastic wrap yet.  but i will press on.}

these recipes are my wonderful grandmother's, so i will not be sharing her secrets.  but know...they are fabulous & made with so much love.

{my amazing new double boiler.
it is only one pot.
which means water wont spit up onto the chocolate.
unless you accidentally fill it too high & accidentally let it bowl.
then it will still get onto the chocolate & ruin it.
but i will never make that mistake again.
so the double boiler is super amazing.}

{lots & lots & lots of pb balls}

{a new twist on the pb balls this year of a crunchy peanut topping!}

{lots & lots of amaretto balls.
i learned they are easier when squished.}

{a new twist on the amaretto balls this year of a festive green sparkle!}

yum yum yum.  & merry christmas.

love love,
kjp.
