Since our family is planning on making lots and lots of treats this Christmas season, we set out to get some good preparation and skill in the profession of Santa's Helpers. 
To get a better idea of how a real Santa's workshop actually works, the girls and I toured the Sweet Candy Factory in Salt Lake City.
We saw exactly how to make chocolate and then cover all kinds of things in it! Isabelle took to heart the instructions our tour guide gave us about how to keep our arms folded if we ever feel the urge to reach out and touch the candy that was drying on racks within arms length.
She bent her head down super low and folded those arms extra tight and did a great job resisting!
Olivia caught on super fast that after each room explanation, the tour guide had a bowl of sample candy from that particular room (jelly beans, cinnamon bears, chocolate covered whatever, etc...) and before the lady would even start her spill, Liv would start pointing at the sample candy and yelling "That! That! That! That!" She'd rubber-neck from the back and attempt to jump from my arms so she could skip the tour guide spill....blah, blah, blah....and get to the goods! After visiting the candy factory, we all feel we are prepared to now go home and implement some of the things we learned today. Mostly, we learned that you can't go wrong with using lots and lots of chocolate.
I think the girls and I are pretty convinced that most everything tastes good dipped, coated with, wrapped in, and pretty much smothered in chocolate! And to keep up on quality control, we're going to have to eat a lot of it this Christmas.
Girls, let's go home and get to work!
