December Daily 12.05.10 - Christmas Candy

Next week, Noah's school is having a teacher appreciation day.  They asked the parents to bring about six dozen goodies for the teacher's to select and bring home for a treat.  I volunteered to bring some peppermint bark.  My sister is a pro at melting chocolate and making treats.  She does it every Easter, so I decided that if she could do it... how hard can it be? (Sorry Mo.)

Well, things started out pretty well.  I made some basic red and green snowflakes using candy molds.  And, it wasn't until I pulled out the white chocolate and started on the peppermint bark that I made my faux pas.  I didn't realize that the peppermint candy I bought melted.  Melted peppermint candy plus melted white chocolate equals pink Santas.  Rookie mistake.
