Baking

We are having a great and fun Christmas this year, all but two of our Swedish relatives are coming to celebrate Christmas with us! The baking began early to make sure there are plenty of cookies.. A great find in the freezer, green marsipan, lead us to make a gluten free version of Dammsugare - a Swedish confectionery that originated when someone did not want to through out all the cookies crumbs in the bakery. A little ingenuity and this little green and chocolate treat was created. Dammsugare means vacuum cleaner, a pretty apt name.

Lukas stirred, rolled, formed and dipped and we now have a little stash in the freezer. The only question is, will there be any left by Christmas? Someone is snatching the tiny sweets when nobody is around... Maybe it is time to call the exterminator again?
