Receta Valentine's Party...
I think I've sufficiently recovered from the little candy-making Valentine party I had on Monday...five girls, 300 pieces of candy and enough powdered sugar to turn my kitchen floor into a skating rink!
I thought the girls would like to make Valentines but nooooooo, when they found out they were going to make candy they all wanted to get their little fingers in the mix as soon as they could!
And they sure did! The girls made Creamy Bon-Bons, which turned out beautifully, Truffles , which didn't quite work, they were just too soft! And we also tried to make Smitten Kitchen's White and Dark Hearted Brownies, without success. Oh, it certainly wasn't her recipe that failed...just too many cooks in the kitchen, no one watching the timer, that sort of thing. They had a great time, and they ate themselves sick - as one little darling put it, "If I eat one more thing I'm going to BLOW!"
The girls went home with two plates full of candy that they made...I should have made them sign waivers regarding any future cavities/dental bills they might incur!
