Your Chocolate Fudge recipes sounds yummy and easy to make. I like the candies that are rolled in cocoa ~ can't eat just one ~ truffles. When I was a little girl, the teens would make and pull taffy for an evening together. A lot of laughter while I was suppose to be sleeping. They would cut them with a scissors and roll them in pieces of the inside wrapper that came in the middle of the Sunbeam Girl bread. Just right for wrapping taffy. They didn't leave much for the next day!

My favorite confection is peanut butter fudge, ANYTHING peanut butter - actually. One of my favorite memories is of my grandfather serving many different kinds of candy, every Christmas, at family gatherings - he would go to a store, where the candy would be stored in huge containers, rather than wrapped, & have bags (1 # each?) filled of each kind. It was always a treat when he would bring out his candy (after dinner), & pass it around.<br /><br />I love Christmas books, & buy a new one every Christmas. Am attracted to the storyline of A Family For Christmas, as I used to work in a children's home. Would love to read it - thanks for the opportunity to win a copy!<br /><br />bonnieroof60(at)yahoo(dot)com bontonhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02852536941656729576noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4271375082145370896.post-52385395454121704262013-09-26T22:31:38.924-04:002013-09-26T22:31:38.924-04:00I love Christmas and everything that comes with it...I love Christmas and everything that comes with it including stories...would love to win.
