My Grandma asked us a while back if we wanted to learn how to make and dip chocolates. We decided we wanted to learn and decided Valentine's would be a great time to make some for our husbands. The day before Valentine's Day we went over to my Grandma's for the adventure. It isn't easy to do with a 3, 2, and 1 year old! We got to work but not before my grandma took my kids out to play in the snow. She had a ton of snow since she lives on the bench, she had over a foot still! The kids loved it! Sadly we hadn't really played in it at all this winter, we just don't have the right clothes yet. She found them some gloves and they had so much fun. We had to force them inside for lunch! They warmed up with some yummy broccoli cheese soup, Ella had 2 bowls, I guess I will be making it soon!
Jack wasn't happy that he couldn't go outside with the cousins!
Before and while we ate lunch we all learned how to make different fondants and flavor and color them how we would like. We then got to work wrapping the cherries in it and then dipping everything else! We made chocolate cherries, orange creams, and mint creams! They turned out yummy and not to bad looking for first timers!
My grandma told us we just have to get our hands in it and get messy! It was fun to learn and I am grateful she would take a whole day to show us and teach us!
Orange Creams
Chocolate Cherries - Ella loves these when we give her one she always wants another! She wanted them for breakfast every morning because she could see them so we hid them so they aren't a temptation for breakfast anymore! Easton just wants the cherry!

That looks like a good and dangerous skill to have. Yummy.
I'm impressed! Those chocolates look amazing! I want to learn to do that some day.
