Candy making solo.

This year was my first time to make candy all by myself.  Growing up we alway made candy but momma and my sister always did most of the work.  I just made cookies.  I love making cookies.  I always gave it to my friends for a Christmas gift. I decided it was time to do it myself,  Plus I decided that I probably wouldn't get any if I didn't make it myself. 

So I the first thin I made was muddy buddies.  Which in all honest was the best thing because it was easiest.

Then I made Turtles (some people call the texas millionaires).  Now here is where it got interesting.  They stuck to the wax paper.  It took me forever to peel the paper of the back with hot water. 

I didn't get a picture of the finial result.  I was not happy with these little things. 

While I was waiting for the caramels to chill.  I made the peanut butter balls.  I also made some white chocolate dipped pretzels. Sorry I didn't take a picture. 

I think that since this was my first time that this was a success.  I think I will start earlier and hopefully do more next year. SSSSSHHHH!  Don't tell Steve.  Ha!
