Candy and Popcorn

Easy Toffee Pretzel Bark

April 22, 2013

This might be the easiest candy you will ever make. It’s MUCH easier than Homemade Carmels and more simple than regular English Toffee. No need to stand at the stove and stir and you don’t need a candy thermometer! It’s also made with a very short list of ingredients, most of which I would bet my [...]

Sweet and Salty Corn Pops

December 6, 2012

Every year, on Christmas Day, my brothers and sisters and I (and our families, of course) find ourselves gathered at my parents house. (12 adults and 16 kids, good glory!) We laugh and joke and talk about what went down in our respective homes on Christmas morning. How late were people up wrapping gifts? Did anyone put together a train set [...]

Chocolate Caramel and Pecan Turtle Clusters

December 5, 2012

I have always wanted to make Turtle Clusters. Not because I have a fascination with real live turtles and think it would be fun to nibble on one. I’ve actually NEVER wanted to do that. Thank you so much for asking. You are always so considerate. I’ve wanted to make Turtle Clusters because the flavors of chewy [...]

Sweet and Salty Halloween Munch Mix

October 11, 2012

This Halloween season I wanted to post a treat that would be simple to make, easy to store, great to give away, and yummy to munch on. A chose a Halloween Munch Mix that is both sweet and a little bit salty, because that is such a nice combination. Wouldn’t you agree? Sweet, salty, crunchy [...]

Gooey Sweet Coconut Chex Mix (The Bomb Diggity)

July 27, 2012

So, I am going to wager this isn’t the first time you’ve heard of this recipe. Am I right? Someone may have left a bag full on your doorstep last Christmas, or maybe your sister made it for a Girls Night Out. Perhaps your pretty Mother In Law brought it along to your family reunion? [...]

Peanut Butter Fudge

December 13, 2011

Pin It So, I couldn’t have a whole series of Christmas Treats without including some kind of wonderful fudge. Nor could I let the opportunity to make something with peanut butter and chocolate pass me by. Peanut Butter and Chocolate… Chocolate and Peanut Butter… I’ve been in love with this dynamic duo for as long [...]

Pin It Hey there guys and gals. This is my last Christmas Treat recipe post for this week. I’ll be taking a little break tomorrow, but will return next week with the last two treat recipes for the series. I just may have saved the the best for last. I hope you have been enjoying [...]

Homemade Suckers

December 9, 2011

Pin It Don’t look now. But it’s Friday. Ahh. That just feels good, don’t you think? Because, I’m sure you don’t have one earthly thing to do this weekend and are just planning sit with your feet up and read a good book, right? No? Not a book, hu. You must be planning to kick [...]

English Toffee

December 7, 2011

Pin It Hello there. How are things? Sure wish you talked louder. I can barely hear you, ya know. Are you enjoying the holiday season… and have you seen the funny Christmas Commercials from Target? You know, with the hilarious blond lady all dressed up in Christmas red, sporting a gigantic strand of pearls. The [...]

Fluffy Chocolate Truffles

December 5, 2011

Pin It Oh me, oh my. It’s the holiday season. And you might want to make a little goodie or two. Or twenty. To share or give, or eat your self. (Don’t eat twenty, I hear it can cause sudden death) And so I thought since it’s the treat making season extraordinaire… I best give [...]
