Weekend of Baking.

Wow. I pretty much spent the whole weekend in the kitchen baking. I love to bake but I'm a little baked-out at the moment!

By 8:30 a.m. on Saturday morning I had truffles rolled and ready to be dipped, peanut butter fudge cooled and ready to but cut, and peanut brittle finished and ready to be packaged up:



Later on Saturday and Sunday I made sugar cookies & decorated them, peanut butter blossoms, dipped the truffles and decorated them and made Christmas Wreath Treats with Tyler and Claire!



The Christmas Wreath Treats are pictured above (on the left) and are really a fun recipe to make with kids!

Here's the recipe in case you're interested!

Melt 30 Large Marshmallows + 1 stick of butter over medium heat. Reduce heat to low and add 1/4 tsp vanilla and 2 tsps green food coloring. Stir until food coloring is all mixed in. Remove mixture from heat and add 4.5 Cups of corn flakes.

Using your hands, shape the corn flake mixture into wreath shapes (tip: lightly grease fingers so the mixture doesn't stick to your skin). Decorate the wreaths using red candies =D

The wreaths will set up / harden like rice crispy treats.

On a side note, I've kind of had bloggers-block lately. I've been writing in my journal and taking pictures... but haven't really been inspired to post anything lately. I don't like to blog for the sake of posting something... I really just like to blog from the heart when I feel inspired to. I'm hoping to get back into the mood of it soon!
