Whoa, baking is not MM

I just spent an arm and a leg on baking supplies for goodies I am making for friends, neighbors, and DH's team at work.

I am making:

Cocoa krispie balls
Peppermint bark (also with dark choc base)
choc dipped pretzel rods
monster cookies

 

Re: Whoa, baking is not MM

  • Yum!

    But I agree with the MM aspect. Whenever we go somewhere for football and bring either buffalo chicken dip or pepperoni bread, I always run to the store for supplies for just the one dish and leave thinking "Holy crap, that was expensive to make one thing!" 

  • For real.  The price of butter makes me cringe.  It was so much cheaper 5 years ago!

    Seriously! And eggs are expensive too because I will not buy the cheap eggs since DS eats them now and then so I will only buy the organic, cage free ones. 

    I saw that Nestle or someone is making bags of already crushed peppermint, which is an awesome idea! Until I saw the price of 1 tiny bag. I slowly backed away and went and bought a bag that felt like it weighed as much as DS did at birth and paid the same price for that. 

  • I made five loaves of banana bread last night and had to make a shopping list to restock all the ingredients for all the baking I still have left to do.  You guys are bumming me out with this talk of how expensive it will be!
    I'd rather be rock climbing or playing volleyball

  • I love peppermint bark!  Last week I ate a package from Godiva in only two days.
