James' dad makes candy every holiday season and we love getting it, I have always wanted to try making some but have never attempted to. Until this year, while at my friend Sarah's house she showed me how she melts chocolate and dips different things. So I asked if I could borrow her fun pampered chef pot so I could try making candy with the kids. She said yes and gave me some melting chocolate also.(Thank You Sarah) So on one of the afternoons this past week that the kids have been home "snowed in" we made simple trail mix clusters. They have been a huge hit around here and I have determined I need one of these pots! We are experimenting with all kinds of things we can dip in chocolate. It has been very fun!
The kids making their own pieces of candy!
Olivia getting just the right amount for a piece of candy.
Will not caring how big the pieces are!

That all looks delicious! Another melting tip - try it in the microwave, it doesn't burn quite as quickly and it melts fast.
That is how I did it, in the microwave it took about 1 1/2 minutes and the chocolate was melted. It was very yummy!
