Tally of the season
Ah, the holidays... such a wonderful time for baking, candy making, and general treat-making madness! And to prove the madness, to the best of my recollection, here is the amount of various ingredients I've used (NOT including the candy making day) in the past 2 or so weeks:
9 lbs sugar
7c Karo Syrup
.5 gal 1/2 & 1/2
4.5 lbs butter
1 dz eggs
1 pt heavy cream
8 oz dates
2c shredded coconut
2.5 lbs apples
1.5 lbs assorted nuts
1c shortening
1.5 rolls waxed paper
And of anyone cares to calculate the total calorie content, feel free. ;) A good portion of the ingredients went into the 4 batches of caramels that I made, cut into bite-sized pieces and hand-wrapped over 2 evenings. Did I mention I'm glad the holidays only happen once a year?

*most* people don't buy that much sugar in a whole year!
