Making Candy with Grandma

Hey Jake, 
Every Christmas your Grandma makes delicious candy. This year I thought it would be fun for you to help her. We decided that Oreo truffles would be fairly easy for you to help with. You love helping in the kitchen and were all about getting Grandma. 

You helped open the bag of Oreos, and then you ate some. You helped put the Oreo's in the food processor and pushed the button to chop them (you really liked that after you go over how loud it was). Then Grandma mixed up the Oreo's and cream cheese, you helped a lithe. You kept saying, "I mix it up!". Then came the fun part, rolling the mixture into little balls...


Grandma gave you your own parchment paper mat and a ball of Oreo cream and let you go at it. 


 You pulled the ball apart...smashed it...rolled it into a snake shape, and pulled it apart again.


 You enjoyed squishing it...


 Then you ate it!


 You love Oreo's


 You were pretty pleased with your self. 


 You really enjoyed helping...I think this will become a yearly tradition!
