Santa's Kitchen 2009

Peppermint bark, peanut brittle and chocolate truffles.

This weekend, Phineas and I powered through our holiday candy making. It went pretty quickly. Even the truffles, which are usually a pain, went smoothly.

Spurred on by my candy-making success, I ventured another try at spiced nuts. Last year, Erato told me that she really liked my first batch once she added more salt to them. So, that is what I did. Naturally, I over-salted them. Sigh. So, I have assigned holiday spiced nut making to Phineas. Possibly permanently.
