I need to get mine done. Nothing fancy this year though. All I have on hand to top them with is cocoa powder, choc. sprinkles, & pink & white hearts. Oh & some nonpareils.
Here is my situation now. I live in a county with the population of a little over 2000. No close neighbors. Most of the people I know, go south for the winter & our friends about 80 miles away aren't coming now for Christmas dinner(supposed to have been tomorrow), because we are gonna have ice on the roads. Sooooo....it's just gonna be me & hubby & he eats them so fast , he doesn't know or care if they have anything on top. I usually do Christmas boxes & give out , but am slowing down on that.I do love doing my candies though, just not alot of access to many materials to fancy them up with. There is 1 grocery store in our whole county & it's slim pickins'. The closest Walmart is 50 miles one way.
LOL if you only knew. I was multitasking big time this morning when DH informed me that he wanted to take a platter of goodies into work. I dipped these, tossed on sprinkles and put them on a cookie sheet, then on our porch to set. I was also baking Bon Bon Cookies so powdered sugar and sprinkles were flying!
Thanks ladies! Peggi, it seemed to go very quickly as I made the filling yesterday and stored it in the fridge. This morning, I melted milk chocolate chips (and a little vegetable shortening), dipped and sprinkled! Fun stuff and VERY quick.
