You keep mentioning "leftover Easter candy". Girl, are you nuts? It's May! Easter candy ceases to exist two days after Easter ends :)

Hi Cakespy! Thanks for the links. I made sure to vote for you as best twitter-er ;)
Just wanted to say that I love your blog! It's ADORABLE and your recipes are always innovative and sweet.

I've never thought of adding hibiscus to fruit leather! That's very inspiring! (and intriguingly opens up a world of possibilities - pear lavender fruit leather, perhaps?)

Unrelatedly, I don't think that poem is actually Dahl's, but rather from the first movie interpretation of Willy Wonka and the Chocolate Factory (although I could be wrong - and he did write a lot of amazing poetry - but not usually quite *this* kind of poetry).
