February 12, 2018–One of my greatest friends, friend is actually not the word because she is so much more than that*, celebrated her birthday recently.  I know she thought I forgot because I didn’t send her a card, an email or even a text message.  The truth is I wanted to make her something special but my travels prevented me from completing the task.

*Do you have someone in your life that always seems to know when you need a little pick me up?  You don’t need or have to talk to them on a routine basis but somehow when you’re feeling a little down you get an email, or even better, snail mail from them.  This is my friend CZ.  She is an amazing person, has the biggest heart and gives of herself daily so I wanted to do something special for her birthday.  Although I’m a little late, I hope she enjoys the goodies that I made for her.

HAPPY BELATED BIRTHDAY CZ

From top to bottom: WL Weller Bourbon Caramels, Plain Chocolate, Chocolate Covered Peanuts, and Chocolate Covered Caramels.  The two ‘gift’ chocolates in the middle are plain chocolate.

Now I couldn’t just send her candy in a plain old box.  I had to do something special because she is special.

But wait, how would should know what was inside?

CZ the Golden Girls said it best, “Thank you for being a friend!”
