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.

Very Very Nice Jim. A Chocolatier/Confectioner you probably have the women chasing you all over the place!!!

You taking orders??

Which ones are smoked?

None of these but I will be doing some fudge later with chipotle.

Thanks all.

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.
