Inevitably, the tentative candy list for this year's gifting and sampling must follow on the heels of the cookie list. (Unless it comes first, but I almost always make the cookie list first thing.)
This list is very tentative. My hubby has already made a batch of Heavenly Delight fudge, and there will be more.
Arlene's Easy Fudge and Easy Salted Caramel Fudge are candies that will likely get made during our annual Christmas crafting and candy spree with four local grands.
The Chocolate-Dipped Orange Slices have become such a favorite. So easy! Just dip orange slice candies from the supermarket into melted dark chocolate. These are always a fun addition to a cookie tray. I often have the grandkids prepare these, but I think I may need to do them myself since they may be needed sooner than the kids can get here.
Another yearly must on my candy list is Special Holiday Fudge, which is chocolate fudge filled with nuts and raisins. It tastes somewhat like an old-fashioned Chunky bar. This year I'm going to experiment with using marshmallow fluff instead of the marshmallows it calls for.
I may or may not make the Date Confections, always called Oddballs in my family as I was growing up. They are good, but I don't think they are necessarily favorites of anyone on my gift list. When I do make them it is mostly for old times' sake.
orange slices dipped in chocolate, yep this I'd like to try
