It's been a busy week. This year I veered off course in my candy making. Usually I make chocolate covered cherries and Needhams. Last year I added lemon buttercream chocolates. This year I took a candy making class at SugarBakers in Knoxville and learned some new skills...the result has been a thick layer of fat earned over the weekend that a harp seal would envy.
The vixens I can't seem to ignore are the "White Mountains"...a delightful concoction of white chocolate, malted milk chips, mini marshmallows, peanuts, and peanut butter...all dropped in little mountains and topped with a flurry of white chocolate. The others...less difficult for me to ignore... are pecan patties. They are formed by a bed of chopped pecans topped with caramel and a layer of milk chocolate. Finally, I made bark. Nothing is easier. This one is a layer of dark chocolate covered by a swirled layer of white chocolate laced with cherry candy chips (think cherry Lifesavers).
Next year...yes I'm planning ahead...I'll go back to the Needhams and chocolate covered cherries and lemon buttercreams. They're what I know and what I really love. Besides, my fatal attraction to the "White Mountains" tells me to steer clear if I know what's good for me!
