Holiday Baking





This year I volunteered to make home made goody boxes for Justin's co-workers in his department at work. The task didn't seem too undaunting as I only needed to make 12 boxes of treats. The first day I set aside to make Christmas goodies I had my mom come over to my house. Somehow by the end of the day we hadn't made much progress. I stayed up late that night after my mom went home and got back on track. I guess I can't have any distractions while baking. Some of the things that I made included: chocolate peanut clusters, caramels, chocolate covered pretzels, ginger cookies, fudge, my great grandma's fruit bread, and homemade cheese balls. The cheese balls were really easy and fun to make. My neighbors got to enjoy those! Happy Baking!
