I got Christmas production started today.
I made orange creme centers, peppermint Patty centers and some Gran Marnier centers today. I got blackberry (Chambord) and raspberry creme to go...
(Whitman's samplers...bah humbug)
I'm working on Gran Marnier with ginger and regular liquor liquid centers for chocolates.
I've got some more work on the liquid liquor centers yet...the first batch wasn't perfect. Too crystalized...not enough liquid. So that means I have to add more booze to the syrup.
And then we start adding different types of booze to the syrup recipe. (Meaning more failures)
The homemade caramels (first batch) turned out better for chocolate coating than for plain eating...but there will be more batches. I'm thinking about turtles....hummm
The cookie list for this year will be
Toll House
Agression
Butterscotchies
Various shortbreads (checkerboards and sandwich)
Chocolate white chocolate chips
Chocolate mint chips
Chocolate cherry (white chocolate chips) or orange.
Peanut butter
Oatmeal-raisin
Gingerbread
Christie's ain't got a chance next to me.
