Couple more previews...

Okay... so I admit it... we may have gone a little overboard with making stuff to send out. We finished up some decorating and have started the proccess of packaging everything up. Looking at the piles of goodies is a bit daunting when I think we still have to fit them in boxes to send out! I'll try to get the pictures of everything together in a post for tomorrow or Monday. I will also try to get the recipes posted during this coming week.

Here is some dark chocolate that we molded into Santas, snowflakes, and presents. Apparently I didn't get enough of the air bubbles out but I don't have enough time to re-do them!

Next is an attempt to make a wreath looking cookie from the doughnut cookies I made a couple months ago. I should have done a little better but I was pretty tired at this point hehe!

This is one of our favorites - Almond Roca. Crunchy toffee candy topped with chocolate and toasted shaved almonds.

If we get a chance to sit down at watch a movie, tonight's DVD from Netflix will be Herbie: Fully Loaded with Lindsay Lohan. I hope to also get a chance to look through some new cooking magazines for dinner ideas for this week - but I may just go through the pile of "to trys" that needs some attention! Stay tuned for the gift baking round up!
