So begins the Candy holidays

[Drac]

Well had some personal time to burn before the end of the year so I headed home to finish up.

The finished list -



Into the tray and box.  Some go in to cups and different boxes -



Some finishing touches -



Amy got this for me last year -



Ready to mail -



The fudges I through together.  People liked them quite bit in past years.  The pale one with the topping is milk chocolate chipotle with pecans and the other is raspberry-chipotle dark chocolate.  Surprising how well chipotle goes well with both -



Should get a box or two ready to mail tomorrow  :D

Well done my friend, my wife really enjoyed the presentation from beginning to the end, she said that looks like alot of work, and I said it looks more like a labor of love....you are the master candy maker...well done...

Beautiful!  If you ever opened a store/online business...I'd be buying!  Thanks for posting the process...it was quite interesting!

[Keymaster]

Very nice Job Drac, those look excellent!!!

They do look Wonderful Jim.

Amazing work.  If they taste half as good as they look they would be phenomenal.  Awesome stuff.

[Drac]

Thanks all.  Got about 14 boxes ready to go out this weekend.  Got to do a few more rounds of a the flavors and planning on 35 boxes this years. 

Trust me all in all it is fairly straight forward if you want to give it a try.  Major issue is the investment in equipment if you want to do large batches.  After that it's just the dreaded "R" work, research but you guys do a lot of that here anyways.  With the meats and that you guys turn out this is fairly easy stuff.

Drac...get a lisense and sell those...they look awesome...

[Habanero Smoker]

Very professionally done!!!!

[Drac]

Got everything packed up and ready to ship out -



This doesn't include the 3 boxes for Navy, 3 my work and 2 for Amy's.  That makes about 800 pieces going out in boxes plus a couple hundred "scraps."
