Last year, D and I decided to include handmade goodies as a gift to our extended relatives that we would see during the holidays, but not necessarily give an extravagant gift to. So, we spent a day or two (or perhaps three) baking a plethora of goodies and then boxing them up for presents.
This year, we decided to do something different then cookies. We've decided to do caramels and truffles. So, this weekend, we did our "test batch" of caramels. They turned out well, but are a complete mess to create and cut and then dip into chocolate. We know the truffles will be a mess, but I was kind of hoping the caramels would be the easy part of the gift. This weekend, we'll tackle making the truffles and additional batches of caramels. Thank goodness we are a good team when it comes to working together ... I think this could make more insecure couples run the other way!
