This past weekend my mom and I went to my aunts house to make cookies and candy. It is a family tradition and 4 generations have participated in this tradition. My grandma passed the recipes to my aunts and they are passing them to us( first cousins) and the 2nd cousins. We melt the chocolate and then put it in a mold, adding different things for fillings, freeze it, remove it, and then put it in wrappers. My cousins and I decorate the mint chocolate candy using green and milk chocolate creating bows and ribbon. This year we made: peanut butter cups, chocolate cream, opera cream( this one takes forever but we perfected the process), chocolate raisins, chocolate nuts, chocolate with cherries, mint chocolate, white chocolate crunch with mint, suckers, and chocolate covered pretzels. It was so much fun making all this candy! It is a great way to start to Christmas season!
