i don't know because i've never done it. as far as i'm concerned, you don't make it - you buy it.
my motto about buying it instead of making it doesn't apply just to candy. it pretty much carries over into every aspect of my life. my motto is, if there's someone you can pay to do it, pay 'em to do it.
and i'm not a cheapskate when i pay 'em, either. if i'm gonna buy candy, which i hardly ever do but at Christmas it practically seems mandatory, then i'm gonna at the very least buy godiva. none of this whitman's sampler nonsense.
speaking of whitman's sampler, the woman who cuts my hair told me this week that she's going to a white elephant gift exchange and she found this ginormous box of whitman's sampler candies at t.j. maxx or somewhere like that. she said it's so big that she almost couldn't fit it in her car. i'm not sure what kind of car she drives, but dang......that is some. box. of. candy!
she said it's so big, it's funny, which is why she thought it would be perfect for a white elephant exchange.
and, when you think about it, i guess it really does makes sense to buy something big for an elephant - white or otherwise.
