Thanks Julia, what lovely memories of your loved ones.

I am sitting here eating some of my economy one, it's the best I've ever made.
NOW anyone know a good dentist.. just waiting for the sugar rush to hit.

Just got all my tins prepared for tomorrows baking stint.
When my mum was alive, I used to make her hand-made chocolates for Christmas, and put them in a fancy box. She loved them, and the fact I had gone to so much trouble.
It must be in the genes. Since doing the family tree, I found two gt.gt. aunts were confectioners, and their father, and his father before him, were Master Bakers.
Happy Baking,and Happy Christmas to you All
