  1. Oh my goodness...these look delicious! Is that white chocolate swirled in the peanut clusters? You should open a business called
    Betsy's Baskets & Bakery : )
    I bet you could even do a booming on line business. Have fun in the kitchen!

  7. Salty and sweet is my favorite dessert combination. And your treats look pretty too! There is an art to making your food look pretty as well as taste good.
