Truffles on plate

3 Ingredient TrufflesThese beautiful little truffles will blow you away. They are creamy and decadent, yet so easy to make. You just need a pack of Oreo cookies, a block of cream cheese, and a bag of chocolate chips. Sprinkles are totally optional. I only used them to make them pop for my Valentine!

Australian Honey Joys in paper liners

Australian Honey JoysThese sweet treats couldn't be easier to make. I've heard them be called the Australian version of the American Rice Krispie Treat. Where Americans use crisped rice and marshmallows, Australians use cornflakes and honey. Each little pot of deliciousness is made of cornflakes, honey, sugar, and butter, but somehow taste way more elegant. When I bite into one of these, I can instantly taste something like a super crisp Palmier cookie, which I have never made, and am sure is much harder to make than these. Please give them a try as I am sure you will love these!

Chocolate Covered Swedish Fish with sprinkles

Chocolate Covered Swedish FishI had a big love for chocolate covered gummy bears until I realized that the chocolate would instantly melt off once in your mouth, quickly turning the treat into plain old gummy bears with a flash of chocolate. Because Swedish fish are a bit firmer and you can easily bite into them, the chocolate to gummy ratio is consistent and makes for an awesome sweet snack. I one-upped them by using some of the reds and whites from my Christmas sprinkles to decorate them. It also gives them a nice texture!

 

Hard Tack Candy bags

Hard Tack CandyThe first time I had this, it came from Beechy's a wonderful Amish store in Illinois. While I haven't been able to make candy quite as pretty as theirs, it tastes the about the same. :)

 

Pretzel Rolo Turtles (Gluten Free)

Pretzel Rolo Turtles (Gluten Free)Several years ago, our daughter made these for me, gluten free, and brought them when she came for Christmas. They were delicious and I have been wanting to try to make them ever since but never seemed to get around to doing it until today. I try not to eat a lot of sweets but when it's Christmas, I go wild. Oh, gosh! These are so good and so quick and easy to make.

 

Mallow Filled Choco Graham Balls on plate

Mallow Filled Choco Graham BallsI'm sharing this simple delicious weekend treat that kids would surely love. They can be served for all occasions and even an ordinary day.

Marshmallow Popcorn Hearts on plate

Marshmallow Popcorn HeartsThis is a take on marshmallow popcorn balls. They're made with pink mini marshmallows and shaped into hearts. They are crispy on the outside and chewy in the middle. This is a fun recipe for all ages!

 

Orangettes

OrangettesIn Europe Christmas means citrus, the green grocer's shelves are filled with citrus of every size and shape. The smell of the peel brings back happy memories of Christmas past. For me this is also the signal to do what I love the most; making something out of nothing and making a delicious festive treat to help my friends and family celebrate Christmas. Don''t be daunted by all the steps, the ingredients are few and the delicious results and compliments make it well worth spending your time!

 

Hand held piece of No-Bake Peanut Butter Caramel Crunch

No-Bake Peanut Butter Caramel CrunchI love the taste of caramel and this stuff is scrumptious! This is the second batch I have made. The first one was just a few days ago and the two of us devoured it. I'm planning to take this batch to a pot luck supper tomorrow night. I hope we can keep our hands out of it. I will have to hide it somewhere.

 

Milk Candy Balls (Yema) on plate

Milk Candy Balls (Yema)Talking about frugality, I used to sell these candy balls at school.

I used my earnings to buy some snacks, fare and even school supplies.

Two Ingredient Ice Cream Fudge

Two Ingredient Ice Cream FudgeThis is a super easy way to make the perfect fudge. The best part about it is if you like a certain ice cream flavour, you can make your fudge taste like it. Mint chocolate ice cream? Mint chocolate fudge. Adding mix-ins result in a flawless fudge, as well. In this example I added walnuts and sea salt, but the base of the plain fudge is just two ingredients: chocolate and ice cream!

Organic Coconut Oil Chocolates

Organic Coconut Oil ChocolatesThese are the best chocolates I have ever had. This recipe is organic and free of genetically modified ingredients.

The commercially made syrups are full of high fructose corn syrup and some maple flavoring.

Marshmallows covered in chocolate and caramel.

Chocolate-Covered CaramallowsI saw this recipe and had to try it! My favorite candies are caramel and marshmallow and these did not disappoint. I was a little nervous about making the caramel in the microwave. I have my old stand-by that involves stirring the mixture constantly for a full hour! But, these turned out delicious, and it was so much easier to make. They were gone so quickly, I am ashamed to admit.

Whipped Chocolate Truffle Candy Bars

Whipped Chocolate Truffle Candy BarsThis recipe is a copycat recipe of a Three Musketeer bar. I didn't think it tasted exactly like one but it was better!

My 12 year old took a bite and immediately said, "Mom! You're making these again, right?". The recipe was so simple with minimal ingredients. I will be making these again, for sure.

Postcard from 1960's showing Boehm's Candy Kitchen in Issaquah, Washington

Chocolate Almond BarkWhen I was a little girl in the 1960's, my parents would treat my brother and I once a month with a special trip to the original Boehm's Candy Kitchen that was at the base of Snoqualmie pass near Seattle. Boehm's candy is some of the finest in the world; I can attest to that.
