Whatcha got going on for Thanksgiving?

I've got two pumpkin cheesecakes in the oven and was killing time by
making some chocolate covered caramels (the cheater way)...

Here's the cheater way to make the candy;
first you need the chocolate and the caramel.
These help things go fast:

Snip a corner off the choc.chips and heat them in the microwave until they melt.
Use the bag like a pastry bag and squeeze chocolate into candy molds;

Drop a caramel or two in each one and push them down with toothpicks.
pick up the mold tray and drop it a couple times on the counter top to take out any air bubbles.
The caramels won't poke through;

Stick them in the fridge for about 15 minutes to set...then pop them out;

Heh. Keepin' it real.

You have to send samples for approval. At least ten.

JetGirl,

I'm going to need a dozen chocolates and that RIA 1911 for further inspection.

Not cutting the cheesecake until tomorrow...but Mr.Jet licked the mixing spoon and said, "Oh. My. GOD!!" which in layman's terms means "oooh, yummy!!"
Quality control of the candies says "they're a 'go'."

I usually just melt the chocolate chips in the bag, snip off the corner, and squeeze the whole mess into my mouth. After I wake up in about 5 hours of being in a sugar coma, I need a drink of milk and a shot of insulin. Love this time of year.

LOL!! Good luck with that.
(P.S. mix some crushed pecans/caramel in there... instant Turtles. )

My brother in law makes pumpkin cheese cake, and it is always delicious. My wife does the layered pumpkin/cheese pie, and it is also great, but very different from the other. But then, I like just about any kind of pie or cheese cake, so my judgement may be a little off.

 

[JetGirl]

my judgement may be a little off.

Oh, I'd say it's right about dead center ON.

I caught a couple stray cats early in the morning and processed them a couple hours ago. I'm thinking of making a nice stew.

I need to get a set of bourbon balls going.

Are those like beer goggles?

I have to bring the olives for our dinner. Its a rough job but somebody has to do it.

Oh em gee, people. Oh. Emm. Geeee.
That pumpkin cheesecake is AWESOME.
(Yes, MiniJet and I decided it was perfect "Thanksgiving breakfast food"...it's got eggs in it, after all.)
