Personalize Your Gifts This Year
Candies make perfect gifts and since the holidays are just around the corner, I would just love to teach you the art of making some of these mouthwatering delights. The easiest way to go about this would be to write a series of posts about a few different truffles, candies, nut clusters and brittles, or jellied fruits.
When this candy making begins, there will be an on-going discussion for questions and answers, and you can share how your candy project is coming along. You might want to look at a few candy recipes while I get these posts written. Also, try an arts and crafts store for little wrappers and gift boxes. You can make a batch of three or four recipes and fill the gift bags and boxes for your favorite people. A variety of traditional sweets will make your gifts special.
Think about expending a small amount into quality products, there really are only a few you will need, and preparing for a real pastry class on this subject.
Remember how it felt to receive a hand made gift? That is because the gift giver took their time to share a part of them with you . We are also going to be working toward a major upcoming event, where we will ask everyone to give to someone who deserves to be helped. And this year there are many. There will be more about that coming up soon.
Personalize your gift giving this holiday season and have a really good time doing it.

Theresa I think this is a wonderful idea and I am looking forward to it. I make candy occasionally (fudge, divinity, etc.) but am far from experienced. The most frustrating thing is that my results are inconsistent! I love giving gifts from my kitchen for the holidays so thank you in advance for your help!

How fun! I'm looking forward to this, too - it should be very informative.

Thanks you two. Candy making is rewarding and fun. So I will make an assignment list for everyone to follow. this way we are on the same page. Plus, you can make ganache balls days before and put them onto your freezer. But more on that later. Ask some friends and relatives if they want to join in. It makes it easier when there are at least two working together.
