What's Your Thing In December?

Thursday, December 12th--Bake and Goto the School Choir Christmas Concert...

Here's another few things that I love to do only in December. Baking! Baking gingerbread man and making cornflake candy are the best. The smells of ginger, molasses, and cinnamon are to die for. I love the taste of the dough. This year I found a new recipe for soft gingerman cookies so I hope they turn out even better. So tonight into the fridge it goes and tomorrow they will become little people.

 Talk about smells, butterscotch smell takes me back. My grandma would make Christmas candies every year. The only one that I have made over the years is cornflake candy. This tradition is a favorite with our family. Cornflake candy takes about 10 mins max. It's butterscotch chips and peanut butter melted, poured over cornflakes. Thats it! I always double it and always use "chunky" peanut butter and I don't add nuts.Here is the original recipe.

 1 pkg (12 oz) butterscotch chips

Let cool overnight on cookie sheet. 

1/3 cup peanut butter
1/2 cup nuts
5 cups cornflakes
*melt chips and peanut butter(stir to avoid burning) and then add to cornflakes in a big bowl. Stir well.

Next, a school choir never hurt in December. I really enjoyed the 6th grade choir tonight. What a treat! They all did really well with a proud performance of several different harmonies and solo's. It made me smile!
