May The Chocolate Not Be With You......


Yes, it was time once again for book group at my house. I did not make any treats with real chocolate. Instead I chose confections with autumn colors. Starting at the top left of the picture and going clockwise:
  • the orange and white creamsicle fudge,
  • a bowl of Merckens Marquis chocolate buttons (as a concession to the chocoholics)
  • a pan with fudgy caramels and a few cut caramels in front of the pan
  • the red paper plate with pineapple jellies
  • next is a sample of the green take home treat bag with a piece of each homemade candy
  • peanut brittle in the rectangle container (on top of blue lid)
  • square glass dish with the few remaining pieces of penouche (which I think was the favorite)
  • and finally a bowl of Brach's Autumn Mix of candy corn, Indian corn, and mellowcreme pumpkins.

So I actually showed some restraint in only make five different kinds of candies but I enjoyed making them and I think people enjoyed eating them. Oh, the book we discussed was Frankenstein by Mary Shelley. For next month we will be reading The Hobbit by J.R.R. Tolkien.

Jean,

The candies were all fabulous but the fudgy caramel was by far my favorite!!! (Although the Penouche was runner up :-). Thank you again for such a great evening!
