This afternoon I had Natalie, Neil and Erika over to make Fire Candy and Cookies. Natalie decided to make the fire candy green for Christmas, and it was really really green. I'm going to add the recipes to the blog. Neil stuffed an entire cookie in his mouth all at once and Natalie kept stretching the fire candy into string. It was an easy day at the Clark house!
