Seasonal Confections



Christmas only comes once a year, as do the truffles and mice. These have become so popular among my friends that as soon as Jack Frost begins nipping at our noses, the requests start pouring in. For some years now, I have given these homemade treats as gifts inlue of purchased items.

Though these are a time-suck, I find that these confections often taste better because I made them with love and I feel it radiates through all of my work.

The photo of the mice are chocolate covered cherries, sealed with a Kiss and garnished with sliced almond "ears".

The truffles in the photo are dark chocolate and milk chocolate rum rolled in confectioner's sugar, toffee, walnuts or chocolate sprinkles.
