You guys asked about them and here is the final product -

Just got to dip a few more caramel and toffee, box everything up and mail it out.
Added a couple different designs, flavors and techniques. I am really liking the Scottie dog, plaid/tartan transfers and the orange speckled ones. I have to replace some of my old molds next year as some of them are sticking from scratches. It gives less than smooth, shiny finishes.
All goes well and somewhere from 48-55lbs of candy should be going out.

That's how I got my wife ;D They say candy dandy but liquor's quicker but at least no one wakes up the next morning wondering what they are doing there and who is this next to them after a night of bon bons.
Sorry though these are for family and co-workers. If I have spares I will put them up for sale locally but I tried that order things years ago and it cost me a fortune.
Jim
Heck Yeah, very nice!

Jim I must say You are just being MEAN posting the names of everything after telling us you don't take orders. Mean I say. (It's a family forum so I have to be nice)
Absolutely beautiful work my friend.
Them candies look top notch!
That is quite a talent you have.
Those are beautiful!
What a talent you have :)
I am horrible at making candy, the only thing I have ever made successfully was penuche.
And that was only one batch :D
Carolyn

Amazing and incredible.
Quoteold gray haired diabetic!
I resemble that remark. :)
Those are some great looking candies. Nice job.
I agree. Your candy is top shelf.
Ok, you want smoke -
I was making a few extra pieces of candy and making gravy for dinner (no I didn't make gravy truffles). I was finished with the milk chocolate, had extra, and I had these nicely cooked pieces of bacon (for the roux) so -

If you've never had chocolate covered bacon you are missing a treat, The salt and sweet combination is hard to beat.
Jim
never had it but it looks great :)
TILT!!!!!!! Bacon!!
I've been wanting to make some chocolate and bacon candies too.
If I had both bacon and chocolate at the ready, I still doubt the bacon would make it to the chocolate. ;D
BACON!!!!!!!!!!!
Chocolate covered bacon sounds goooooooooood!
I'll post pics when I'm done
That is the BOMBS!
Very Nice. WOW!
