We had a Christmas Baking Day this weekend...wow....that's all I can say. Cramming 3 bossy women into a tiny kitchen with boiling liquids, sticky mixes, and gooey messes...not the greatest idea ever. But we sure had fun! Although we didn't make everything on all of our lists, we did get plenty of treats made.
I suppose it didn't help that we were doubling or tripling each recipe so that we had enough for each of us to take home. I ended up with 3 pans of caramel that still needs to be cut & wrapped! Some of the bon bons still need to be dipped since they weren't quite set up & we ran out of dipping chocolate.
Completed Projects: dipped pretzels, bon-bons, caramels, divinity, and peanut blossom cookies. Yum!
Casualties: 1 small burn to my right arm, 1 plastic measuring spoon eaten by the garbage disposal, a few cookies consumed by the hungry chefs, and some bon bon filling sneakily eaten by 1 particular chef (you know who you are!)
Thank you to the eager dogs who gave us so much entertainment & distraction during the long, intense baking. And thanks to the rat who so generously donated to our comedic interludes! All in all it turned out to be a pretty productive day!
