Christmas Prep (pictures)

Making Bonbons for Christmas Eve... Peanut butter, coconut, almond bark (Rachael can't have powdered sugar which is the main ingredient in the 'dough') and white chocolate (almond bark for dad)... Had lots of help and fun but I'm thoroughly sick of bonbons! =P Here are some pictures...

The coconut dough

Ready to be dipped

Dipping them

Some of the first dipped bonbons ready to freeze. They had a little extra chocolate around the edges but still tasted pretty fantabulous! :) 

My lovely helpers, Ruth, Mary and Sarah :) 

Went outside to get some pictures of the falling snow but the camera wouldn't pic it up. So here's a picture of Ruthie and Toby Mac. 

Toby trying to steal the camera.
This cat is actually a girl, Sarah gave it it's brilliant name when we thought she was a male, so now Rachael says we need to name it Sophia after Tommy Trattle's wife from David Copperfield by Charles Dickons... but I like Toby Mac! ;) 

Mary helped me dip half the bonbons once I was sick of it. Rachael finished them when Mary went 'to wrap her presents' :) 

Caught in the act! =P But I guess cooks have the right to snitch. :)

Dipping them... they made less than I remembered making last year, but maybe it's my imagination. I think we'll have plenty! =P

John found it necessary to 'help' ya know lick the bowls or taste test.... those jobs we are incapable of  doing... ;) 

Adorable, mischievous grin! =]

Peanut Butter bonbons mmmm!!! I LOVE peanut butter...

...and coconut!! =] this is just the start of the bonbons... this whole bucket at least is filled. =)

I can't wait for Christmas Eve when we celebrate with Grandma... which reminds me, I still need to wrap my gifts! =0
 Merry Christmas to all and a happy new year!
