Hey friends! My Katy’s birthday celebration begins tomorrow (her birthday is Dec 21) and so today she and I are going to kick the party off by making some candies together. This is a collection of some of our absolute favorites and they are all very simple to make. I’ve even rated some as “easy” and “super easy” so you know what to go to first if your schedule is more hectic than usual. I hope you find some time to get into the kitchen with your loved ones the week – and I hope these recipes help make that happen! Many of these recipe posts have family stories on the posts as well. Enjoy!
