Fa la la la la, la la la la. You shall now have Deck the Halls in your head. It’s better than this song (inside joke). So I find myself each year baking more and more, especially for others. I hardly bake anything during the rest of the year, but why is it around Christmas that I get in the mood? Who knows, but I truly love it.

I’m giving something to others and knowing that they enjoyed it puts a smile on my face. This year I’ve decided that I’m going to make Peanut Butter Blossoms (like last year), but this year I’m going to try something I’ve never done before, fudge.

Yup, that sweet and rich food that makes your mouth water. Each year I go and purchase three big chunks of it at The Big E, which puts a big $15 into their pockets and not mine, but this year I didn’t purchase any, because I wasn’t in the mood. However, the past couple of days I got a craving for it and thought this would be the perfect time to learn how to make it.

This is what my co-workers will be getting at work, family will be getting some along with their real Christmas gifts, and few others as well.  Once the fudge and cookies are completed, I will post the recipes on a new blog post along with photographs. I will be making some of it in the next day or so, because I need to spilt up the baking so I don’t have to do it all at once. Co-workers and friends first and then family will get their on Christmas. So it shouldn’t be long for the recipes and photographs to surface on the blog.
