a NEW tradition

So I found this recipe for truffles here and decided it might be a fun thing to do on first day off of school.. but in true KyLeyne style I can't do anything tiny so I decided to do 3 different kinds and we'll pass them out to neighbors, friends home teaching families etc. etc. and it was really fun.. the kids got totally into it.. they also said they were really yummy but I must admit I didn't try them.. remember I'm not a chocolate, sweet kinda girl.. I will try a peanut butter one tomorrow I promise.. the kids already have grand plans for next year, they want to dip them in chocolate then put the toppings on.. they also had plenty of ideas of additional toppings we'll do next year...

these were left overs after all the nice box's for giving were filled

the Peanut butter truffles

we put chopped peanuts, coconut, powered sugar, chocolate powdered sugar, red, or green sprinkles
on the truffles then put them in a mini cupcake cup

after all the give away pkg's were done THEN the kids could sample the completed product.. rave reviews so far...





So I think we'd do this again, the kids had a good time and I actually think we made them way bigger than they were suppose to be but what ever I don't think I'd do it any smaller (we 3x the recipe linked for each flavor)...



so back to work, my washer broke AGAIN so I'm trying to figure out what I need to take to the laundromat on Christmas eve.. hopefully just Ben's work stuff!!!

ta ta

oh yea Merry Christmas to all of you!!!
