I think that it is our duty to find the most perfect chocolate combination and how else but try it. :) I also buy Penzey's for myself and for gifts and I love all of them. The little jarred sets make great hostess gifts for sure. There is also a big following in our area for Cleo's Coffeehouse series. And on Monday morning, I am going to order some of the Billionaire Blend coffee too. Love my coffee!!!! Merry Christmas everyone. <br />Cynthia ceblainhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16192522179238414380noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1001156153899984046.post-734850730960175182014-12-13T17:52:37.481-05:002014-12-13T17:52:37.481-05:00A good book with goody recipes.

It's the very best chocolate I've ever had, and I have had a square (or more) of dark chocolate every single day for nearly 28 years. I know it sounds weird, but you can't imagine how delicious this combination of flavors is. <br /><br />Each of my three daughters this year is receiving a copy of Molly Wellman's charming book, Handcrafted Cocktails. She's a local author/mixologist/punchhouse owner, and she signed copies of her new book for each daughter at this year's Books by the Banks. <br /><br />Which I then proceeded to give to the wrong daughters. All three of them.

The Theo Pink Salted Caramels sound delicious, so I'll have to check them out, Krista, along with The Diva Wraps It Up. Rhys, The Twelve Clues of Christmas is a wonderful Christmas read, and I'd love to try one of those puddings someday. Hallie, I bought The Big Book of Christmas Mysteries for myself for Christmas. It's in my bag-o-books I get myself. Hallie and Hank, I already have Writes of Passage staring at me on my shelf waiting to be read. Cleo, I'm a coffee addict, so the Billionaire's Blend sounds like a great item to give and receive.<br /><br />I still need to go to my daughter's and pick up some fudge made by a friend of hers at the friend's Three Chicks Fudgery. It's so yummy! Several friends will receive this treat. I have a couple of books yet to buy, but I'm pretty much through in that department. <br /><br />I just found out tonight that my son and his girlfriend will be sleeping over at my house on Christmas Eve, so I get to do one of my favorite Christmas things, which is to fix stockings with candy, fruit, and a few little surprises. Whee! So excited. I miss having someone to put stuff out for on Christmas Eve.
