It was so much fun tasting all the different delicious chocolate dishes. There were brownies, cookies, fudge, truffles, and many other items of deliciousness. The snickers fudge…

Kernel-less Carmel Corn
WARNING!!! This caramel corn is extremely addictive!!! Some nice ladies brought some into my work for us and as soon as I ate the first bite, I knew I just had to make it. I went straight to the store after work and picked up the Pirate’s Booty needed for this recipe. What’s Pirate’s Booty?…
Nutter Butter Reindeer Pop’s
Last minute Christmas post for ya’ll. Don’t you just love how the little one with the pupils is rolling his eyes at his brothers.

I love seeing little kids all dressed up, but…
