Christmas Baking

Christmas baking was especially fun this year, because the boys were so involved in helping - with planning, assembly and taste testing. In fact, SO much tasting has happened that I don't even have a full plate to share with friends at this point - time to do a little more baking!

Here's the result of about 6 hours of holiday baking this weekend:

Christmas trains - the boys made these completely on their own (just a little glue gun help from mom). They plan on giving one to their teachers, and have shared with family already also:

 

The cutest elves in the world!

Peanut butter maple balls:

 

Some of the bounty:

A completed plate, ready to be shared...Andes mint fudge, butterscotch fudge, peanut butter balls, candy cane blossoms, homemade salted caramels and chocolate candy cane hearts. The chocolate dipped macaroons were devoured before they made it onto a plate! Making a double batch next year, for sure.
