Making CANDY!

So, Mother's Day is coming upon us quickly, and I was at a total loss as to what the boys should make for their Grandmas this year (all 3 of them).

Then I remembered that the local HyVee has started to carry Enjoy Life Chocolate Chips.

*Lightbulb*

Off to Hobby Lobby, purchased some candy molds for chocolate lollipops, peanut butter cups, and while I was at it, some Awareness Ribbon molds so I can make some to sell at our rummage sale coming up to raise money for FAAN. Who doesn't want a basically allergy free chocolate lollipop?!

It's pretty simple. Boil about an inch of water in a pot, place glass bowl over water, place chocolate chips in bowl, stir til melted and pour carefully into the mold. I bought a squeeze bottle at the store because I thought I'd put the chocolate in there, but I didn't want to microwave it because I'm funny about microwaving plastic. The first two, my trial lollipops for the boys, are cooling in the fridge. Wish me luck!
