Can you see the grand girls behind the creative mess on my dining room table?
I have had a fun two days in the kitchen making a grand mess with my granddaughters and my baby college girl.
Never thought making a mess would be so fun and tasty!
Every years for as far back as I care to remember, I have been making goodie trays for my family at Christmas.
Normally every year, I spend my time alone in the kitchen cooking away. I think I kinda drive the kids out of the kitchen cause I am in the “zone” and on a mission to get everything made and wrapped up on a limited amount of time.
WELL….this year I had help. Baby College Girl took off of work and came up to hang out with me in the kitchen along with two of my granddaughter. I was a little nervous about turning over my baking and candy making to my little chefs, but I was so glad I did. They did a great job. We hung out and dipped candy, made cookie dough, melted chocolate for fudge, wrapped goodies up and had a totally perfect holiday fun in the kitchen.
Here is a few things that we made:
White Chocolate Fudge with chopped Oreos.
Peanut Butter Fudge with Nutella and Reece’scup filling.
Milk Chocolate Fudge with colored chocolate chips and sprinkle.
Baby College Girl Making PIC Grandpa’s Peanut Clusters.
Grand girls dipping the Cherry Cookies in white chocolate.
Cherry Cookies with White Chocolate.
Grand girls filling the pan with fudge puddle dough.
Fudge Puddle Cookies.
Dipped Pretzels.
This is what I still need to make!
Poppy Seed Bread or maybe some Pumpkin Bread….I need to decide soon…haha…
Cracker Toffee (love this stuff!)
I also have a couple of cookies I would love to make but Christmas Eve is tomorrow…and I hardly have any presents wrapped. But, I am craving some Ranger cookies.
Don’t you love Christmas Baking????
How is your baking going?? Are you running as late as I am?
I better get back into the kitchen. If I do not show up with Caramel Toffee Pretzels, I doubt anyone would let me into the house when I arrive at Mom’s for Christmas.
Merry Christmas!
