Add in that Superman is on a cot in a 25-man tent with no personal storage and you can guess what trouble I had coming up with suitable Christmas gifts. I finally decided it all had to be consumable and that he'd love to have stuff to share. I decided homemade candy would be perfect.
So, on Saturday I made candies, a lot of candies. (This is the only time of year I can send chocolates and I know Superman misses them dearly.)
I made Peppermint Bark.
I made chocolate clusters with pretzel bits and marshmallows.
I made pretzel sticks dipped in chocolate and rolled in toffee bits.
I made pretzel sticks dipped in white chocolate and striped with dark chocolate.
I didn't stop there. On Sunday, I made a batch of chocolate-covered oreo-type cookies.
Then, I fashioned my own almond-roca type candies.
Last night, I got it all packed, sealed, and labeled. I've even filled out the customs form already.
Today, I will deliver it all to the United States Postal Service. I did my part and now I expect them to do theirs and get Superman his goodies in time for Christmas.
Keep your fingers crossed.
Making all this stuff was super easy. If you're at all interested, I'll share all the ingredients and instructions...just let me know.
