yum yum

Baking and making our favorite candy and cookies.

Although I don't bake much nor do I make

a lot of candies

 I did make one batch of 

 Peppermint Patties

 they are wonderful!
better yet frozen,

 and one batch of Buckeyes

 these are yummy too.

they go well with

Santa's White Christmas coffee
that Lena gave me.
 Thank you Lena!
