Laura Secord Chocolates

During Easter I wanted to make my mother-in-law something special.  She loves the Buttercream candies at Laura Secord's so I made her these.  She told me not to lose the recipe.  You know sometimes it is not what you do or how you do it or what you give or how you give it, it is the thought that goes into it.
