The Candyman Can...

We spent the day at the Castellucci's for Jed's Annual Candy Making Weekend. Josh got to help this year and is already asking if he can do it again. This is the story of Josh making candy with Uncle Jed...

Even though we washed his hands, Josh got his own supply of peanut butter cream. That was smart since it was "finger-licking good!"

Josh wasn't too excited about how the cream stuck to his fingers, but he looks pretty amused here!

First Jed helps Josh line the molds with chocolate

Shaking the tray to get the bubbles out

Josh started out filling the molds fairly evenly, but obviously developed a favorite spot to fill!

Next Jed helps Josh cover the peanut butter cream with chocolate

Jed had to get out a soup spoon to cover Josh's overflowing mold!

But they did it! Jed was so great and didn't try to "fix" anything Josh did. It was Josh's chocolate candy. Wait until you see how it turned out...

Now that is what I call a chocolate candy! Can you see the peanut butter cream that is outlining the present mold?

Josh proudly holding the chocolate he made!
(We haven't let him eat it yet...that will be another post!)

Meanwhile, Katelyn had fun playing with Aunt Kate, her glasses, and...

MATCHES! We need to find a new sitter! :)

Katelyn enjoyed sampling the chocolate covered pretzels!
