Thank you very much! 😊

[@johntodd6001]

All is well here and it is cold here a little bit of snow and has been fairly cold lately

[@alanacawker-therusticwife]

I bet...if we have cold temps, you guys must be freezing! Stay warm and cozy and have a great night John!

[@geofflalonde263]

I'm totally going to try these!! They look great!! Would it be easier to pour the fruit and nut mixture into the peanut/maple/honey pot so the heat of the pot lengthens the cooling off before transferring to the pan?

[@alanacawker-therusticwife]

Hi Geoff...thank you for watching! They are so good, I just ate the last one 2 minutes ago! 😁 My saucepan was too small to fit all of the fruit/nut mixture but if I used a bigger saucepan, you are right, it likely would make it easier for sure!
