You guys, let me just say, I’m SO excited and happy to be a stop on the Candy Making for Kids Blog Tour! When I got my e-mail from Courtney telling me I’d be taking part in this fun event, I was on vacation and it was killing me that I couldn’t open the file and see the pics she sent from my phone. As soon as I could, I opened up the laptop and checked it out and I was SO impressed. This book is going to be darling!
I’m sure most of you already know who I’m talking about when I say Courtney, but just in case…
…here she is! Courtney Dial Whitmore, my sweet and lovely friend from the south! She’s the face behind the popular entertaining blog, Pizzazzerie and also the author of the popular dessert cookbook, Push Up Pops. With two books under her belt, and more still to come, she’s one lady you’ll want to keep an eye on!
Candy Making for Kids is Courtney’s second book and was beautifully photographed by Zac Williams. The colors are bright and cheery, and the recipes are simple so little ones can get involved without getting frustrated! Better yet, none of the recipes require a candy thermometer, so there’s no need to worry about little fingers getting burnt. (Or, if you’re accident prone like me, there’s no need to worry about your own fingers getting burnt!)
”There is nothing more fun than entertaining children. They make the best guests! Pick any sweet treat from Courtney’s book and dazzle the little guests and adults alike!” – Kimberly Schlegel Whitman, Editor-At-Large of Southern Living
For those of you who order a copy, Courtney has darling red + white polka dotted book plate labels that she will be mailing out to those who request them so you can stick the personalized greeting inside your book. All you have to do is email courtney@pizzazzerie.com with the subject line BOOK SIGNATURE and proof of purchase (screen shot of Amazon order, picture of receipt, etc) along with the address to send the book plate, who to make the greeting out to, and she’ll send it out to you so you can have your copy of the book signed! (Think about this as a great idea for getting a jump on Christmas presents…a whole chapter is devoted to holiday candies!)
And now, are you ready for a big surprise??? Okay, but first, one more sneaky peeky!
And now for the surprise…I am so excited to announce that I’ll be giving away a signed copy of Candy Making for Kids to one of my readers!
WOOHOOOOOOOO!
Want to win? Here’s what you have to do…
Good luck to you all! And to those of who don’t win, Candy Making for Kids is available for purchase from Amazon and Barnes & Noble at a very reasonable price!

I can’t wait to get a hold of this book! What a great idea. All 3 of my girls love to cook, bake and be in the kitchen with me. The photos look beautiful!
I would love to use this book with my mom’s 5th grade students!
my sweet little 2 year old daughter!
{My sons may want to try some of the recipes too though!}
My daughter, Aurora, will be making candy with me.
I’ve been trying to teach my kindergarten cousin how to bake.. she loves it and this would be so much more fun for her with the kid related posts rather than just boring old cookies and food coloring ect!
This book looks so darling and fun. I know I would have fun making these treats with my children!
My 4 year old and 21 month old will be making candy with me!
Yay for our girl, Courtney! So excited about this book and the giveaway.
Can’t wait to share this book with my daughter London. As it is she already helps me with any baking and decorating I do. She’ll be excited for some baking fun for herself =]
Brenda, As someone who’s currently saving up for a big, BIG family vacation, I must say I LOVE your daughter’s name!
Thank you Carrie! I absolutely love her name too and her middle name…. Joliee =] (London Joliee) My family and I are saving for a trip to Guatemala next year. The country my parents came from. =]
The sweetest, yummiest book!
Looks like just darling ideas!!! Love it!
Your ideas are amazing. So creative!!! If I win I will be making candy with my 3 year-old preschoolers.
The question is what little kid won’t be using this book with me!! I love to be in the kitchen with my three girls and nieces and nephews!
I would use this book with the disabled children I work with and hopefully soon my own adopted child!
All four of my rugrats would enjoy this book.
This looks like SUCH a cute book!
so cute…can’t wait to get my hands on it…would be perfect to plan some stuff for the girls to make at the next party!
I guess I should add I would be making the treats with my daughter
I would love to make some yummies with all 3 of my kids. My daughter would be about the making while my 2 boys would be eating.
Thanks for the entry.
It looks fun & yummy! My little ones enjoy been in the kitchen with me.
My sweet munchkin, Lennon, and I will be making…a mess…I mean a lot of candy from this adorable book
