The finished product!
Waiting for chocolate almond bark!
Pecans and crushed rice krispies!
It took longer to unwrap the caramels than it did to melt them!
Does the economy have you down? Well, try these AMAZING Chocolate Billionaires! I found these at Heritage School House blogspot. They are EASY & DELICIOUS! What a fabulous combination! (Okay, the pictures are BACKWARDS!! It's late and I'm not dealing with my wonky computer!)
Chocolate Billionaires
3 dozen
1 (14 ounce) package caramels
3 tablespoons water
1 ½ cups pecans, coarsely chopped
1 cup crushed crisp rice cereal
1 package chocolate bark
Melt caramels and water in microwave until you can stir easily; stir until smooth. Mix in pecans and cereal. Cover cookie sheets with wax paper. Drop candy by spoonfuls onto cookie sheets. Put cookie sheets in refrigerator until candy hardens (about 30 minutes). Melt chocolate bark in microwave. Using a fork, dip candy into chocolate bark, turning to coat all sides. Place candy on sheets of wax paper on the counter to harden. Enjoy!

Chocolate Billionaires!

He sees you when you're sleeping!
This Santa is supposed to grace a doorknob, but with a chocolate lab who's still a 'pup' there is NO WAY he is going to be her next chew toy! I put in on the door of my armoire in the bedroom.
AtHome America sold these about seven years ago and it's one of my Christmas favs!
Have a great weekend--the decorating and celebrating has just begun!!
Silent Night
Well, what's a girl to do when all the men in her family go out? DECORATE!!! It was so QUIET around here!! It looks like Christmas exploded at our house!
We don't have a fireplace, so the shabby chic hooks in our bedroom are the perfect place for a couple of stockings. The hooks are usually reserved for ball caps. (Yep, I have to make this feminine space man friendly, esp. with the TV--ick!)
The nativity was my grandma's. LOVE IT! When you wind it, "The Little Drummer Boy" plays and it turns. This is the PERFECT place for it!
Stay tuned for more pics--my bedroom's not done yet!!
