Confections! What did we make? (2014 – 2016)

After the recent posts I am in awe. However, here is the second part of my strictly amateur candymania.

There are probably my favorite - puddles of whatever left over tempered chocolate i have with various toppings. Every candy book calls them by a different name - I prefer mendiants from Alice Medrich's  Bittersweet.

Greweling's Sleeping Beauties (how does he come up with these names?) - A layer of caramel topped with a layer of chocolate nougat. If I repeat them I want more nougat and less caramel.

There were a few more but I didn't get pictures of everything. The bags are not only packed but mostly either mailed or hand delivered. So no more candy making here for another year. 

Today my husband scrapped the chocolate off the kitchen floor and counters. It is absolutely amazing where smears of chocolate show up - the door handle to the back porch? Oh yeah - I let Fanny in. The TV remote. Well, yes. But on the door into the garage?! How did that happen?
