So today, i got ridiculously excited about Christmas and all that. I found a couple of recipes for candy that I wanted to try and I decided to make some bread too. The bread was just kind of a random, I want to make my own bread thing (Molasses Whole Wheat). It turned out deliciously.
The candy, however, was a different story. Let me preface this whole thing by saying that when we were little, my parents used to make a big deal out of Christmas. We used to spend a day making sugar cookies, gingerbread cookies and frosting them as a family. My dad used to make tons of candy and cookies and we'd get to help him with it. Now, not so much. So today I decided was going to be my day. I found a recipe for peppermint bark (really easy to make) and good too. The caramels, not so much. My caramels look like caramel sauce with a skin on the top of them. Sad. I'll have to try again and be more patient.
At any rate, that's the story of today.
Is it Christmas break yet?
