This is the fifth year my mom, grandma, and I have gotten together to make our family candy recipes. This year was extra special because it was four generations of Williams women making the recipes together! Beckett is a great helper, and he really loves mixing. So we mixed up some family cookie recipes. Harper was mostly interested in the whisk. We made Pecan Chew, Fudge (white and chocolate), Divinity, and Caramels. The cookies we made were sugar and peanut butter blossoms. At about 2:00, I went to put Beckett down for a nap and fell asleep with him. When I woke up an hour later, some cleaning elves had put everything away and had my kitchen back to normal! (Their names were Janet and Gert.)
We laughed a lot, at a lot, and made a lot of memories. It was a special, fun day!
