How many are you planning on making? Also, I'm stealing some of these ideas, they're great.

[unclejesse]

All but cola, rosewater, and hibiscus.

Are these essential oils or do you use actual fruit/flavors/spices?

An aside...gonna place a yarn order for SO's mom for Christmas. What's your Christmas deadline?

Woah that's a lot of flavors! For truffles, I'm all about traditional chocolate, maybe with caramel or liquor. For marshmallows, though, I think anything goes pretty much. I'm not a big salty plus sweet fan so I would probably stick to the fruit flavors or holiday flavors (gingerbread, cookie dough, vanilla, maybe apple cider)

Marshmallows:
classic vanilla
chocolate
maple bacon
salted caramel swirl
some sort of fruit
maybe ginger spice?

raynes: I'm making 4 marshmallows (two of them will be vanilla and some kind of berry) and maybe 3 truffles, I haven't decided.

unclejesse I'm going to use actual fruit/spices, unless it's something really weird. I need to decide so I know if I need to order any flavorings.

dragonflybelle I don't really have a deadline. All the yarns are ready to ship, so it's just a matter of when can I get it to the post office (usually next day) and how long will they take to deliver. I have a few more dyed up in worsted weight for scarfs that I haven't listed yet. And if you want a color combo that I don't have, if you tell me ASAP I can have it ready to ship in a week. Also (heart)

Thanks hon! She's so excited to know someone in a roundabout way that makes yarn. She's a knitting fool and is great at it!

[mala]

@tambcat no, that's just how the copy/paste worked. I have them all in a table in a google doc sorted by category (spices, fruit, dessert adaptations, misc, classics, and combos)

In that case, snickerdoodle, eggnog and cookie dough truffles, and lemon-ginger and pomegranate or grapefruit marshmallows.

@tambcat Just about all of them could be either truffles or marshmallows. That's why it's so hard to pick!
