Hedgehogs on New Year's Day


Ryan enjoyed hedgehogs for New Year's Day once again as Lynette and her family were in town. Lynette chose my kitchen to create in which is very lucky for me because of bowls and spoons to lick (and she left the extra supplies.) Hedgehogs have always been one of Ryan's favorites (Lynette even fixed them for his high school graduation celebration) so he showed up on New Year's Day wearing his new hat and bringing his lovely wife to help out. They shaped the bodies and put in the almond spines, watched the chocolate coating part and then smuggled a couple of extra ones out the door when they went home. The whole extended family shared in this treat later at Janis'. Thanks to Lynette, Brittany, Lisa, Ryan, and Emilia for getting down and dirty and putting these together for all of us (It was a two afternoon process.) Yummy! I guess we could ask Lynette for the recipe and make these once a year ourselves, but this is a pretty big project. Glen piped in that he had seen some in a catalog but they were $2 a piece. Lynette told him she thought that was a bargain!
