Another crack at candy

I made bark! BARK! Why don't people make this stuff all the time? It was super easy. In a double boiler, I melted about 1 c of bittersweet chocolate chips and about 2 or 2 1/2 c of semisweet. While that melted, I laid down a rectangle (approximately 9x12, but I'm not good with measurements) of pretzels. Once the chocolate was melted, I poured/spread it over the pretzels. Then sprinkled about 1 1/2 c of salty mixed nuts over top. Delish!

I've been gone too long...

I know I've been gone. This weekend though, we finally cooked again. And my holiday cookie baking will commence soon.

Mr. R has been up in my grill about making fudge for weeks, so this weekend, I finally bought ingredients and let him have at it. He was very cute, wielding his candy thermometer. He let loose with an Emeril recipe. And it turned out very well, thank you very much.
