Recipe Post

I have had a bunch of people ask for some recipes so I am listing all of them here. You can always find this post from the recipe link on the sidebar.


Peppermint Fudge:
1 Package Vanilla Baking Chips
1 Jar Vanilla Frosting
1/2 tsp Peppermint Extract
Red Food Coloring
2 Peppermint Candy Canes

Melt Vanilla Chips in the Microwave, Add frosting and melt together. Add extract, stir. Pour into 9 x 9 Pan. Drip food coloring and swirl with knife. Add crushed Candy Canes. Refrigerate.

Fantasy Fudge:
3 c. sugar
3/4 c. margarine
2/3 c evaporated milk
12 oz chocolate chips
7 oz marshmallow creme
1 c. chopped nuts
1 tsp vanilla

Combine sugar, marg, and milk. Boil 5 min. Stir in Chocolate chips. remove from heat, add marshmallow, nuts, and vanilla. Put in 9 x 9 or 9 x 13 pan.

White Chocolate Clusters:
Melt:
1 pkg white baking chips
2 T peanut butter

Add:
1 c. mini marshmallows
1 c. peanuts
1 1/2 c rice crispies

Drop onto wax paper and cool. (don't dilly dally, they harden fast!!)


Peanut Butter Balls:

1 c graham crackers
3 1/2 c. powered sugar
2 sticks margarine
1 c crunch peanut butter

Mix well and roll in to balls. After this I like to put them in the refrig or the freezer so they harden a little so it is easier to dip them.


Turtles!!
Melt: 14 oz caramels ( I use Kraft individually wrapped squares) with 1/4 c. evaporated milk

Add 2 c. pecans after the caramels are melted (2 c. says the recipe. I like to do 1 1/2 c. pecan halves plus 1 c. pecans chopped, they are not so gooey this way and stay together better)

Dip in Melted Chocolate, Cool.

**** very important. You need to drop these by the teaspoon but from MUCH practice I finally figured out that you should spray the wax paper with non stick spray that way you won’t be picking little pieces of paper the bottom of your caramels !
