We had one last, big hurrah with our awesome neighbors before the end-of-semester grind hit us hard. Ty and I found big blocks of white and milk chocolate at the grocery store for a pittance, so we scooped some up to play with.
The result was an extremely enjoyable Sunday evening.
(I love how Stephen's other hand is in his pocket. "It's so easy I only need one hand to make magic happen!")
I only have a few pictures of the fun because I was busy melting chocolate. Holly has more. Send me some, Holly? :)
We wrapped them up and distributed them to our visiting teach-ees and home teach-ees. A fun and easy treat to make and even more fun to eat.
