Holiday Candy

Today I have been making holiday candy to give to the neighbors as gifts. We have only lived in this house for about 3 months. This is the first neighborhood we have lived in since being married that we have even known our neighbors so this is the first time I'm doing this. I remember growing up and having neighbors bring goodies by and I loved it.

I make mints and cream cheese treats and something that was called "Easy Truffles". I messed them up. I guess for me they weren't easy, but next year I know what I did wrong so I can make them again.

Hubby made caramels on his lunch break. (He works from home on some days.) I had to finish them since he had to go visit some customers. We will take them to a friends house tonight where we will be singing carols to neighbors and then finishing with hot cocoa. Should be fun, but cold. (It is below freezing here. Brrrrrr!)

I have a hard time not eating all of the goodies. Self-control in this area is hard for me. I'm not overweight, but I don't want to become so. If anyone has any ideas on how to win this battle then please send your suggestions my way. Hubby loves the sweets so removing them from the house is not an option.

A few things that I will be posting soon. My home management binder with pictures. Some of my favorite sites to visit and maybe some pictures of me and my family.
