As part of this year's 101 Days of Christmas series, I'm sharing a roundup with more ideas from around the blogosphere each Sunday! Today is a roundup of Homemade candy created by different people with links to their recipes. I've always loved making chocolate-dipped treats and homemade candy, but it's one of those time-consuming things…
