"Sweet Little Things" from the Twice Remembered Cottage

Do these candies look yummy or what? Mmmmm... In actuality, I'm not suppose to have sugar - any sugar, but I've had a major sweet tooth all my life:) Sometimes I do better than others at sticking to my no-sugar diet. This month has been a good month (I've lost about 7 or 8 pounds!). But that hasn't stopped me from admiring all the sugared pieces of goodness that are so commonly available everywhere I turn. In fact, it hasn't stopped me from making my own sweet treats right in my own kitchen.

I made a small assortment of candies this week: white chocolate melts with both rasberry and milk chocolate "drizzles", dark chocolate melts with milk chocolate and white chocolate drizzles, milk chocolate and creamy nougat bites, and chocolate chews - plain and powder sugar coated.

How do they taste? Well, I wouldn't know. And neither will anyone else:) You see, these candies are completely and 100% fake, made from non-edible household materials. They're not made of wax and they'll last forever! They were made by me strictly for viewing enjoyment, hehe. I can't tell you how fun it is to make these - and for me, this is just the beginning!

Soon all of my kidlets will be in school which means I'll have more time to work on crafts to sell. I don't want to work outside the home, so this is a good solution to help add a little to the family budget (and to feed my craft addiction!) Like many of you, I have my hands in everything - my interests are many! But I do know for sure that I will be making a lot more of these candies, plus cakes, cupcakes, brownies, sundaes, and much more. I consider myself "in training" now and I'm really excited about learning more about this beautiful "faux food" art form.
