This past week I got to work on my favorite Christmas candy...Homemade chocolates!
My Grandma always makes these and they are soooo good. A few years ago, my sisters and I decided we wanted to learn how to make them, so we went to Star Valley for a lesson. It was a lot of fun, and so great to get to spend time watching a talented woman in action.
This is my third year to make them and I still had to call my Grandma for help with the fondant. I dipped over 225 of these things! I ran out of chocolate after these, and I still had some fondant and carmels left; so this is not all my friends, this is not all. There are mint, maple, carmels (homemade of course), strawberry-banana, blueberry (real blueberries in them, Justin's fav), and marshmallows. They are no where near as pretty as my Grandma makes them, but I think I'm getting better at that too...just give me a few/ten more years.
