Neighbor Gifts!

This year I decided on my Neighbor Gifts early! I decided to put candy in STAR dishes with a Great Christmas star poem. Every time I went to the Dollar Store and they had them, I bought a few star dishes. Now its the week before Christmas and I have to do the candy. I decided to do my Almond Toffee Balls. They take a lot of powdered sugar!

Add some butter and some sweetened condensed milk!


Scoop them onto a pan and let them freeze! Roll into balls! This is sticky!
Finally dip in chocolate. At this point I am in tears and wondering why I do this to myself!

Finally they are dipped (not beautifully of course!) and rolled in nuts!
More COLD time!



Finally they are divided out into their "Stars"


Wrapped and tagged!


All ready to deliver!

We only gave out about 9 dishes plus a ton of little bags of candy! The kids love delivering the treats! I love that they are gone and I don't have to think of them anymore. Seriously this year if I can find a chocolate fountain for cheap I might make candy next year!

Loves, hugs, and chocolate dipped kisses!

Those are so CUTE!
Neighbor gifts can be so much work, and I'm glad to get rid of them, too!

PS Where's Mine? I want a chocolatey almond ball.
