Candy Day

This year we moved our candy making day to mom's new house since there is much more room there than our tiny house has. So the Saturday after Thanksgiving we unloaded all our supplies and got to work. Here is a before picture of our candy making supplies. We made 8 batches of caramel before so it was all ready to go for turtles and pretzels. Grammie and Rease making peanut butter cups. Grandma Wisniewski was the hardest worker of the night. She worked with us the whole time up until the very end (which ended up being about midnight.)



The girls were very helpful and wanted to be a part of the day.
I wish we had an after picture because we made so much candy this year! We used 65 lbs of chocolate and made turtles, caramel/chocolate covered pretzels, peanut butter cups, peanut clusters, toffee and oreo cookies. We made up 85 different plates to give out to neighbors and friends - it was a very successful day!
