    Esmer - fantstic makes, the hampers look great and i'm sure everyone will love them!!! Truffles look lovely too :)

    I've finished my Xmas makes now. After a disaster with the diabetic flapjack cookies I made (tasted awful!!!!!!!) I've made some yummy cranberry bites (recipe is on my blog) instead which look pretty too.

    Everything is now in jars, wrapped and labeled ready to go..... now to sit back and put my feet up :)

    Not sure if I'll be online tomorrow, so incase I'm not - MERRY CHRISTMAS TO EVERYONE!

    Fudge was easy, and I used Dark chcolate, but I think i would use milk next time. it was Rich, and i would prefer it a little sweeter. :)

    Love all the pics! The hampers look great all wrapped up!
    I might attempt the fudge recipe later and I'm going to make note of the Cranberry Bites recipe and make them at a later date, they both look so good :)
