Christmas Baking

First...the good stuff.

LOTS of peanut butter fudge. On the right is a chocolate/pecan/toffee fudge. Won't make that recipe again because it wasn't creamy enough to suit me. I did like the toffee part. :)


Peanut butter cups in chocolate chip cookies and then of course the famous peanut butter cookies with Hershey Kisses in them.

Peanut butter balls and a couple kinds of chocolate bark (one withe pretzels and the other with toffee).

Hershey kisses/pretzels/with M&Ms on top. Unfortunately I accidentally purchased the breast cancer bag so they look more like Valentine's Day than Christmas, but you know - all tastes the same.

And now....the biggest mess up of 2008. The cashew brittle.

Chris, you were right. GONE. (And notice how nothing inside is moving.)

Never try culinary experiments in bowls you can't part with...

Yum!!!! I wish I lived close to you so I could volunteer to taste test these cookies and other baked goods!

Mmmmm....the chocolate peanut butter cup, peanut butter kisses and chocolate covered peanut butter balls are calling my name. (I sense a theme here...)

I haven't had chocolate in longer than I care to remember...that's rare for me.

But I think I may have to indulge today.

Nice purple bowl, by the way. I love that anything and everything, good or bad, embarassing or not, can be photographed now for the purpose of blogging.

Umm these are all for me right? You're just waiting for me to come pick them up?

Skyepuppy - I think it's safe to say I've parted with this bowl. LOL. Thankfully it wasn't one of my life's bigger investments.

Tsofah - I think my workouts this week indicate I should have used a taste tester other than myself. :D

Christina - I'm concerned about this chocolate drought...it can't be healthy for you! And I'm with you about taking pictures of everything for blogging. I was reading a blog the other day of this lady who is about to have a baby and she took a picture of her husband holding the doll in childbirth class and she said everyone looked at her like she was crazy. And then she said "Obviously they don't blog." Cracked me up.

Phats - I still have some left! Come on over. :) By the way - loved that concert picture Wendy posted. That was awesome.
