We do a lot of dipping. Aren't all the centers pretty? There's Oreo truffles, pumpkin cheesecake truffles, two types of buttercreams, cookie dough truffles and peanut butter balls. I forgot to get mint Oreos this year, so we added raspberry flavoring to the plain Oreos I got. We made some mint buttercreams instead.
Along with the pretty truffles, we made black and white paves, butterscotch nests, ginger nut clusters and toffee. Everything came out beautifully.
What a great crew! We had a good time. I hadn't seen some of my friends in months, so it was terrific to have them all together.
My sister brought some of her own centers to dip, so she and I continued after everyone else had left. (Then I dipped the extra cookie dough truffles on Monday - Whew!)
I was glad to see the bulk of the candy packed up and taken away by others. There's three boxes of chocolates earmarked for other people (having already delivered a fourth box to my parents). That means there's not too many unclaimed ones for me to inhale.
Delicious!
What a wonderful idea - this might make a nice "non-craft" activity for a future meeting of my Munch and Make craft group! (I think I inhaled a few of these right through the computer screen!)
ReplyDeleteyes, I got a contact candy high. They are so pretty, and the group is lucky to have each other too.
