As I was looking through pictures, I came across these:
I totally forgot I used to do this! And this makes me want to do it again!
I would melt colored chocolate and using paint brushes, paint the molds with these colors, let them dry, and then pour regular chocolate into the molds. I made these for a small number of years before I got burned out. And the boys got older and well … you know how it is.
And as I look over the assortment in this picture, my mom must have been there with me. Because there’s no way I made all of this stuff by myself, I’m not patient enough. We must have gotten together to make Christmas “goodies.” Remember that, mom?
Man. Now I have a hankerin’ to make more candies. I think I may have to make a trip to the craft store.
Soon. 
Do you guys make Christmas “goodies?”
