Homemade Christmas Candy!!

A couple of weeks ago my sisters and I got together to make Christmas candy. Below are the fruits of our labors. We cooked from 8-12.
Below is the perfect batch of homemade carmel. Not hard but not too gooey either. Too bad the 2nd batch didn't turn out AS great. It was still good because it has walnuts in it.

Emma just had to tuck TJ in for naptime.

Lexy made nut clusters. They were YUMMY!!

This is the first year we did Almond Bark Pretzel sticks.
I prefer the small ones because you get less pretzel and more bark.
Chris came up with the great idea to sprinkle white chocolate on the peanut clusters!

Here are the Christmas Corn Flake Wreathes. You use the same recipe as Rice Crispy treats, just add green food coloring and substitute corn flakes for the Crispys. Red Hots are the holly berries. Just place mixture on wax paper and form with butter covered fingers.
Butterscotch haystacks made by Jana.
We had difficulty melting the butterscotch but they tasted just as good.
White Chocolate covered pretzels. In B/W becasue was slightly out of focus.

And here are the chefs! L to R is Me, Chris, Lexy, Marlee, Caitlyn, Emma, and Jana.
Just the sister chefs!! What an amazing day!
