Isn't this guy cute? I saved the picture from last year but I can't remember where it was from--maybe the Kraft or the M&M website? Anyway, I love how they've used the Reese's Peanut Butter Cup and a broken piece of pretzel to make the little ornament hanger. Clever! And any time you get to use Reese's cups is more than welcome by me.We're going on a field trip today. First stop is Hammond's Candy Factory, to take the factory tour and check out the shop. I've wanted to go there ever since we moved here. We actually went last Saturday but it was a zoo (they were having a Candy Cane Festival) so we left without going on the tour. Hopefully it will be better today. After that, we're continuing north and crossing the border to the People's Republic of Boulder. Everybody have their passports? Honestly, it's weird up there, but there's a store Quin wants to visit so we're braving the crazies. I'm hoping to duck into the cute little store where I bought my Wendy Addison "Winter Dreams" garland last spring. Hoping maybe they have some new glittery goodies to add to my collection!
Happy Saturday, everyone!
The candy factory sounds like a fun tour. Hope you get to taste test too!
ReplyDeleteSo very very jealous that you have easy access to Hammond's! I swear, if I ever get fed up with the life I am living (you know, struggling to climb up the corporate ladder), I am booking it to Colorado for a job there - it seems like candy making would be the type of job I'd want instead of the one I need.
ReplyDeleteI love wendy Addison! My oldest baked her 1st batch of cupcakes today,she was quite clever adding chokli't chunks and M&Ms to the batter. The poor things were undercooked and caved in but no sweat she filled that in with choklit' icing! Bleh! She and her little girlfreind had fun though.
ReplyDeleteThe cupcakes are darling! Can't go wrong with peanut butter cups and M&Ms!
ReplyDeleteSooo darling!
ReplyDeleteI just made cupcakes for the first time in over 10 years! And it's all because of the Wilton cupcake rack that I just got! It holds 25 cupcakes... soooo cute! Check it out on my blog. It was on sale and then I used a coupon at Bed Bath & Beyond and paid only 15.00! I am lending it to all my friends so it gets lots of use.
Those are amazing. I have to try them. THIS WEEK.
ReplyDeleteI thought it was a little Shriner's guy until I read the description!
