So True! 🙂
My most favorite holiday memories is being in the kitchen with
my Mom and my Granny Phillips.
We would stay in there for hours making goodies–
peanut butter balls, coconut candies, Tiger Butter…
What fun we had!
I can still remember Granny sitting at the kitchen bar
watching me and Mom getting all the candy made.
We would usually eat pizza for dinner–
Granny loved pepperoni pizza!
We had much fun laughing, talking and baking together.
She would always spend the night afterwards.
I cherish those precious memories and I miss her so!
I hope you and your family make some
special memories this season.
It’s never too late to start traditions
no matter how big or how small.
There’s nothing like family and sweet memories!

Had to share one of my very favorite candies
my Mom makes at Christmas.
It’s ridiculously simple but just so very very wonderful!
It’s so quick and easy to make…
always turns out perfectly…
it’s great to give as gifts…
and it would be fantastic made with white chocolate too.
We just didn’t quite have time to try that idea this Christmas!
Momma’s Christmas Candy
8 oz Ghiradelli Chocolate
(you can use any kind you like, but we looovvee Ghiradelli!)
1 1/2 cups mini marshmallows
2 cups dry roasted unsalted peanuts
Place the chocolate in a microwaveable container.
Microwave on high at 20 second intervals, stirring well until smooth and melted.
Be very careful not to burn.
Add the peanuts and marshmallows,
stirring until coated with the chocolate.
Drop by teaspoonfuls onto wax paper.
Let sit in a cool place until candy hardens.
Place in a pretty container and enjoy!
The good stuff….
My sweet Momma making the candy 🙂
Marshmallows!!!
1 1/2 cups to be exact…
Getting ready to melt the chocolate…
Remember..20 seconds and stir…
it should only take 2 – 3 times…
Add the marshmallows…
And the peanuts…
Drop onto wax paper with a teaspoon…
Like so…
Before long, you have this beautiful mountain of chocolaty goodness to share!
