Wanted to let you take a little peak at a Candy making class we has last evening. I had a retail shop for 12 years in the 80ies and early 90ies and candy supplies was our main business, I taught classes 2 or 3 day a week during the fall and winter. When I closed my shop my sister took over the selling of supplies in her general merchandise store. I have continued to make candy every years for the holidays for family and friends, Decided this year to teach again, We had a class yesterday and I thought I would share with you. Had 12 ladies to join us and we had a great class. Making candy and enjoying company.
We made: chocolate covered cherries peppermint patties maple nut cocoanut bon bons turtles resses cups smoothies choc, Carmel and nut pretzels and learned to use choc. molds.
We are going to meet again next Monday to make Carmel, nut and choc, apples. and choc. and peanut butter fudge.
If any of you ladies would like the recipes we use just let me know and I will email them to you direct. The first two picture shows the set up before we got started, and the others show all the fun we had. Forgot to take a picture after we did all the choc. dipping. Will try to get it next time. Hope you are having a great week. Love to hear from you.
How sweet of you to share your candy recipes with us. I would love to have them..my email addy is: cat_white_cloud (at)yahoo (dot) com and thank you so much..
I live in the beautiful mountains of West Virginia with my hubby Darrell, who is my best friend and my partner in business, He is a retired heavy equipment operator and now works with me full time. He operates our wood shop and is a very gifted wood worker, I really challange him at times but he alway comes through. I will share his work with you as we go along. We have been married for 39 years and have two wonderful children, one son and one daughter who live in Tennessee with their families, We have two beautiful granddaughters, Miranda who is 14 and Madison who is 2. We spend our down time visiting, and enjoying them. I have been in the craft business for close to 30 years in both wholesale and retail. Owned a craft shop for 12 years selling supplies, have done a little of all crafts but decorative painting is my love, Also love the Shabby and Victorian decorating. We have lived in the same location for 26 years. We enjoy 4-wheeling in our beautiful mountains, A day spent in the mountains with friends is a little bit of heaven.
