Dipped Cinnamon Bears

Not really a fan of Halloween.
But it's the last day of the month.
I needed to get some Visiting Teaching done.
And a birthday gift delivered.
So I dipped some cinnamon bears.
Because there certainly isn't enough candy in the stores.
It was nice to get out the marble slab and play in chocolate.
It was easy and fun.
(Not sure what I was thinking when I ended up dipping 5 trays though.)
Happy Halloween!

    When the crazy People of Walmart lady shows up on your front door tonight, trick or treating, you will know it's me. Or an actual person I sent from Walmart to stalk you.

    Glad I found your blog! I'm now following you, and looking forward to reading all your cute posts.
    Hope you have a happy day.

    Oh, my goodness, sweet Tauna!! Did you ever do some dipping. Bet they were yummy. Thanks for stopping by my Ramblings blog. I am trying to get caught up on reading blogs. In answer to your question it is an Olympus and yep hubby is a keeper. I would bet yours is too.

    I am with you on leaving out all but bananas in that bread too. No need for spices...too overpowering.

    Hugs!

    Oh, my husband works for a nut company and sells those, though yours look better. But I can't keep them in the house. Much too risky!

    Oh YUM! You can visit me anytime! Seriously those sound so delicious and addicting!
    I want thank you for always leaving the kindest messages on my daughter's and on my blog. I was blessed with the best & talented daughter ever. I have wondered since she was born why I was her mother when she is the one who continually teaches me.
    She accomplishes (while being a very busy primary president) so much while running circles around her mom. Sheese.... I always wanted daughters like you have and HF only sent me just one but included what all the others could have had, all in one! ~♥

    Darn, My mouth is still watering!

    Oh those hand dipped candies looks so yummy and your dipped hand too. You are doing things in a BIG way, from canning to candies. Great stuff.

    Thanks for your comment on my blog. I'll try to post something sometimes today. It feels good to have my blog back. JB

    I don't like cinnamon and chocolate together - but I LOVE you! I was catching up on my slack reading and I saw your pictures of CBC - where we fell in love! (I know, I haven't been doin' my part. I don't deserve a friend like you.) It's hard to make bears look anything but cute and even harder to make chocolate look bad.

    I feel so SPOILED that I got to be one of the recipients of your amazing chocolate dipped cinnamon bears. I can't believe how delicious they were, MUCH better than the ones you can purchase at Broulims or Porters.

    You truly do make the world's best chocolates (I think they're even better than Florences!)

    One of these next years, I would LOOOOVVVVVEEEEE to come and stand by your side and be taught how to dip chocolates. It is something I have always wanted to take a class in, but, there really aren't ever chocolate dipping classes to take.

    Thanks SO much for taking time out of your extremely busy life and driving out and bringing some sunshine and yummyness to us! I enjoy so much seeing and visiting with you!!
