Trav and I have been busy all weekend cooking up something good. Friday night we were supposed to finish our Christmas shopping, but the weather outside was "Frightful" so we decided that it was the perfect night to do our annual candy baking tradition. We made peanut brittle, divinity, English toffee, fudge with nuts, and fudge without nuts. We made quite the team and had such a great time baking together ...minus having to redo the fudge Saturday morning since it never set up. We are pretty sure that it didn't work out because we didn't add enough chocolate chips into the mixture (FYI one regular size bag of chocolate chips is 2 cups..not 3 cups...when in doubt ALWAYS measure!) 
Saturday afternoon we finished up our Christmas shopping and then came home to put the finishing touches on our candy creations. We put a little sampling of each kind onto plates and then wrapped them up with festive green Saran wrap and red/silver ribbon. We were quite pleased with the finished product and luckily we had some left to eat ourselves and share with Travis' family when we go up for Christmas on Wednesday night. Maybe instead of Travis and Sarah we will change our names to Sammy and Susie Homemaker! ; )

Davinity and siler ribbon??? Dad says you need spell check in your blog. :) Your plates look so pretty! Fun tradition! Dad said it would have been fun to try some of your creations when we were out there for Thanksgiving so you knew if they were tastey enough to give away. He is glad to see that you didn't make date cookies to give away. Yummy!!!! xoxo Mom and Dad
Your candies are delish and the pics are even more delish, if that could be possible. I think you could put those pictures in a See's Candy catalogue, Travis. Merry Kiss-Moose!
