Another treat I love to indulge in over the holidays is Christmas candy. I love that I can give a little and that it will go a long way. I am learning that a batch can be divided into four gifts, in a smaller tin and it is appreciate as much for its smallness as it is for its taste!
With the world watching its sugar intake, it is safe to say that I won't be making as much candy as usual, so I am considering doing a candy swap with my neighbors. Not as fancy as the cookie exchange, but the idea that I will make a pound of fudge and give her half, if she will give me half of her turtles. It seems to be a fair exchange! Plus, cuts down on the amount of work! Take a look at these goodies and tell me, which two would you want to trade for?
