Living in the German town of Cincinnati, they sell freshly roasted almonds similar to these at all the festivals. This recipe is very close and I love to give it to friends for the holidays!
One of my favorite places to visit every summer is Mackinac Island. Two of my favorite things to do while on the island is ride my bike around the perimeter of the island and then walk through town going...
The addition of butter, makes this quite yummy! Cooking the sugar and syrup correctly will make your brittle nice and crisp and crunchy. Cook to 295 degrees and the syrup in a clear, golden brown.
Saw Rachael Ray and Oprah make this on an Oprah holiday party show. It took me 7 minutes, but who's counting! Try other variations such as the original Recipe #146361 and Recipe #146387.
Yummy brittle....just don't try to make it on a day with high humidity. It will turn out too sticky. Also, if your cashews aren't roasted, be sure to throw them in the oven for a bit.....it adds a great...
This is posted by request, but sounds interesting, so I will probably try it soon. So many fudge recipes I have looked at seem to have marshmallow creme as a main ingredient! I know people have been making...
Here is a fudge you Will enjoy and not feel guilty about eating it. It is healthy and very good. This fudge is my sisters favorite after I made some for her. It is easy and yummy too! You can substitute...
Five ingredients (not counting the chocolate) and NO sugar! A xylitol / stevia blend enhances the natural sweetness of the organic coconut and virgin coconut oil. I made my own sugar free chocolate by...
Like the Boy Scouts chocolate popcorn? You'll like this! Ever wonder how they get it to stay so crunchy? I think I figured it out! Makes a great handmade gift.
This is a crumbly, sugary old fashion fudge....from the back of the Hershey's Cocoa can. Cook time is cooling time. If you are having trouble with it "setting up", you probably didn't cook it long enough....
A Kitchen Daddio variation on a holiday favorite. Easy to make; easy to clean! And kids love it! Parents, try letting your kids make it themselves (with your supervision of course!). Update 12/26/06: Hat...
I discovered this recipe online and knowing how much I love Swedish Fish and how much everyone else I know loves them I thought I would share it just in case. I don't know how many fish this recipe will...
Combine puréed dates, peanut butter, and puffed rice into these no-cook treats and gloss with a generous coating of chocolate for a (healthier-than-store-bought) candy bar whenever a craving strikes.
These are absolutely addictive! Sweet and salty with lots of crunch, and very easy to make. These should probably be stored in the fridge to keep from going soft or you could probably coat in an extra...
These were the first truffles I ever attempted. I had Kahlua in the house to make the Kahlua Gingerbread Men (recipe available here at Recipezaar). Smooth and chocolatey! From RecipeSource by Judy Garnett....
I found this on Recipe Goldmine and think it will be a nice cooking project for my 9-year old daughter. Prep time does not include cool time. **Make sure your sugar is "cane" sugar and not "beet" sugar....
Southern decadence at it finest! These are enough to make a New Orleans native like me homesick. Cook time includes cooling time. Recipe from Foodtv.com (but its almost as good as MawMaw's recipe)
For those on the HCG diet who crave chocolate!! =) Some find that they can eat this in Phase 2, others cannot. If you're curious, about whether or not you can, try making a tiny amount (1 Tbs. coconut...
Bing bars. A great Christmas candy to make. A good friend of mine gave me this recipe and is now a favorite in my family. Very popular in the mid west, but sometimes hard to find the cherry chips in other...
This is a very simple recipe that tastes so good you'll want to hide them! I have made candy to sell at Christmas time off and on for the past 12 years and these are a must have! This is a very small batch...
This recipe by the author of "Funky Foodgasm A Pornographer of Food" caught my eye and I just had to post it... I haven't made these yet, but by looking at the ingredients and the photo that was included,...
O-O-O good. If you like Oreo cookies, you'll love these truffle-like cookies (or are they candy?). I got this recipe from Brenda C at a cookie exchange in 2006, and it's made it to the top of my easy/yummy...
This is a rich, creamy dark fudge for a special person (who just might be you!). For me, this is enough amaretto, but the amount can be increased or decreased as you prefer it. And, you can experiment...
These mounds bars are easy to make and rich with dark chocolate and a coconut filling consisting of shredded coconut, coconut oil and agave. http://www.elanaspantry.com/mounds-candy-bars/
So simply delicious! If you like salt with your chocolate, use salted cashews. If you would prefer, use unsalted cashews. Adapted from the QVC website.
