I‘m not gonna lie, folks — I love Christmas!! Ever since I was a little girl, Christmas has always been my favorite time of the year. Back then, Santa Claus was my focus. Oh, how I would beg my Mom to take me to see him. Eventually, she would cave in (you’ll soon understand her reluctance) and we would head to the Mall where I’d stand in line, quivering with excitement over telling the Big Guy about the new Barbie I wanted for Christmas. When it was finally my turn, instead of eagerly climbing onto his lap, I’d cry. Bawl. Sob. And refuse to sit on his lap. Ummmm … sorry Mom. My bad.

Peanut Butter Fudge
I'm going to be honest; I'm not a huge fan of fudge, even though I have several recipes on Eat Laugh Purr. As I've said before, I'm more of a savory girl and fudge is very, very rich for me. I can generally eat only a bite or two, which may be a good thing. :) But I'm making fudge today. Why? ... [Read more]
Bacon Peanut Clusters
Yup. I totally went there. Added bacon to a Christmas candy. Okay, in absolute fairness I can't claim that it was my idea to do so. But I can claim to know a good thing when I see it. And these bad boys are good. ... [Read more]

Caramels
Oh, caramels–how I adore thee. And yet, you aggravate me to no end. So sweet and chewy. But such a pain to make. What's a caramel loving girl to do? Girl up and make them, I guess. :D ... [Read more]
