Does anyone make candy for the holidays? What kinds do you make? Any favorites? PC should have a candy thermomether! One of my favorites is a kind of toffy like almond roca for christmas and it requires careful temperature watching. I am thinking about making some sugar boxes and royal icing tops for them. I was watching food network the other day and there was a lady on there who made some little "boxes" of suar and sells them as wedding favors. I found a recipe for the Sugar Skulls you see around Halloween that are used to comemorate ancestors on the Day of the dead. I'm going to try fill the bottom of a disposable cup and leave it hollowed out in the middile so I can put something small like a pair of earings or a bracelet in them then top with a flat circular lid made of royal icing which I can decorate with other types of icing or candys and tie up with a pretty bow. It might take me a couple days, but I'll take a pic when I do and post it.
