By Jolene Lamb, Correspondent The first snow has fallen, and Christmas morning is close upon us. To awaken on Dec. 25 to a fresh white winter wonderland sounds perfect. We are spending the holidays at home anyway; no traveling this year. So a fresh blanket of snow and the stillness and beauty it brings don’t sound all that bad. Snow or no snow, I’ll grab a mug of hot chocolate, probably a few Christmas cookies I made and enjoy the day in pajamas. I recently discovered hot chocolate bombs. Apparently, I’m late to the party on this one because they seem to be all over the internet. The bombs are basically a hollow chocolate shell filled with hot cocoa mix, mini marshmallows and even sprinkles if you like. They are a bit tricky to make since the process involves tempering chocolate, but in a pinch candy melts can be used, which don’t require as much precision to work with.
