Christmas candy

I can't believe I forgot to take pictures of the mountains of Christmas candy Barry & I made! We spent an entire Saturday making truffles, chocolate-covered caramel corn, marshmallows, and all sorts of yummy treats. It was an enormous Christmasy funfunfun day! But you will just have to imagine the peanut butter truffles rolled in chopped peanuts, the gingerbread truffles with a dark ginger ganache filling and spicy Rice Krispy coating, the strawberry marshmallows...actually, I think I got pix of the marshmallows.


I spent most of the day Christmas Eve making more candy, and I did get pictures this time. Here's a big plate of candy I took to my brother's house. It has (clockwise from top left): divinity, regular marshmallows and strawberry marshmallows, Earl Grey tea chocolates, chocolate-covered peanut butter crunch, white chocolate latte truffles, and chocolate-covered candied orange peel in the center.
