Where it began...

For those of you who don't know me, my name is Martianne, but most call me Marti..

My  grandmother Mary always brought a tray of homemade chocolate to a house she was invited to, any holiday we'd expect to see a tray of that famous chocolate.. I remember, as a child, always thinking my grandparent's house smelled of candy... She would make chocolate covered pretzels, caramel, rocky road (marshmallows with nuts), nutella, peanut butter and the list goes on... My favorite was the caramel and she always made sure to have some on the side for me to take home (along with her delicious pasta sauce but thats a whole other blog lol).
As my grandparents got older, the trays of chocolate became more seldom...I've wanted to start this blog for awhile but something always comes up...My grandmother passed away in 2009 and now that another holiday has passed without her delicious chocolate I've decided there is no time like the present to share her story....   
So here it is, as often as I can, I will make one of her famous chocolate creations and post on the blog exactly what I did. Its a way to share her recipes with the world. I will try my hardest to live up to her creations, but I do know that if I put half the love in it that she did, I will make her proud!
