Cute Stuff Inside... Cookie Swap!


I'm joining Marsha's virtual cookie swap. Okay, I'm going to "swap" candy. I didn't make cookies this year. I am all cookied out. Another thing to note: my confections did not photograph as well as I would have liked them to. I guess they were camera shy but they all taste YUMMY!

First up... my Cranberry Almond Chocolate bark.... a big hit. I need to make more. I have to make one whole batch for my brother; he really loves it. There's some white chocolate cranberry bark mixed in there.

Next in line... my chocolate covered Oreos. I have several molds for these. I just got the gingerbread house and christmas tree this year. No recipe needed. Buy some Oreos (double stuff works best), some good quality chocolate, melt, pour into molds, set and eat!


Anyone for some caramel peanut clusters drizzled with chocolate? Yummy but watch out! You can break a tooth or at least lose a filling or two!




Maybe Chocolate Pecan Buttercrunch is more your style? It's pretty darn good! Easy recipe too. Just need to watch that buttercrunch cook. Low and slow and you're in business. Want the recipe? Go to King Arthur Flour and search for "Dark Chocolate Buttercrunch". You WON'T be sorry!

You say you fancy chocolate and peanut butter? I have something for ya! Chocolate covered peanut butter krispy balls! Made with crunchy peanut butter, confectioners sugar, butter and Rice Krispies. Dipped in chocolate after they've set. YUM! YUM!



Few more treats to go. Off to the fudge! On the plate we have: chocolate peppermint fudge. Next is the chocolate walnut and lastly chocolate and peanut butter layered fudge.


Are you chilly? Maybe you're thirsty? Can I offer you some hot chocolate? Homemade hot cocoa cones... very easy to make and a good filler in my treat buckets.

If anyone would like recipes, please let me know. I would post them now but I was gone all day and I'm tired but I wanted to get my goodies posted before tomorrow since I'm gone all day then too. Oh, and I hope you can see from what I made... I LOVE CHOCOLATE!!!!

Hope you enjoyed the virtual cookie (candy) swap! It was fun!

Enjoy your night!
