Remember these from last year...it technically may have been this year but you know what I mean. I said something like "you can bet I'll be making these babies next Christmas." But December came and I forgot! One night I was snooping around my own blog (such a nerd but sometimes it's fun to see where we were a year ago) and I found that post. My mouth began to remember and water. For inspiration I searched images for the recipe (what can I say? I'm very visual) and found this beautiful tutorial. Aren't your taste buds simply aching to make this!
I splurged and bought three bags of mallows and two semi-sweet chocolate chips (the candy canes were already at home - I needed 14 of them). This made just over 100 confections. Not quite candy, more than a cookie... When you indulge just try and remember it is puffed sugar dipped in chocolate sugar covered in peppermint sugar. Whoa!
Plenty for gifts, parties and some snacking for those late-night wrapping sessions.

We still have gifts to make but the shopping is done! The gift wrapping sessions begin tonight but the homemade gifts are still being cranked out. I still would like to make some paper wreaths, lemon curd and homemade version of Bailey's Irish Cream. Hey, I still have three days!
