Candy Making

Today we are going to my grandmothers for our annual Christmas candy making. I have missed it for the last couple of years, and I'm really excited to be able to go today. We always make toffee, fudge, cherry no-bakes, and the grand finale is peanut brittle! We use my great grandmothers recipe, and it is a huge celebration when the peanut brittle is correct. Usually we call my great grandma at least once to ask her a question (which we don't really need the answer too) just to make her feel included. I've really missed being part of this tradition the last couple of years, so hopefully today is great, and hopefully my children behave so I actually get to cook instead of just chasing them around.
