This is a very versatile candy recipe your imagination is the key.
Sift powered sugar, make sure there are no lumps add powered sugar to
butter, (I use real butter) corn syrup and salt (I hold off on the
vanilla) a little at a time to insure a smooth consistency. I use my
Mixer with bread dough hooks as the mixture becomes very stiff. Mix
tell you can handle with out it sticking to your fingers. You may
need more or less powered sugar depending on you humidity. Now comes
the Imagination part, I split candy dough in parts, in bowls: 1. To
one I add peanut-butter (2 heaping tablespoons about) * I add a
little more powered sugar so I can work with it again. Roll in a long
snake wrap in plastic wrap and refrigerate. * For Reeces like
peanut-butter cups. 2. Add coconut (about . to æ cup) and coconut
flavoring (about . teaspoon) mix repeat from * only this time after
you wrap press on top to make oval. for almond joy like or mounds
like. 3. Add mint flavoring, (about . teaspoon) repeat from * leave
round, like the old camp fire mints. 4. Add chopped walnuts, (about .
to æ cup) and maple flavoring (about . teaspoon) repeat from * I make
these oval. 5. Add cacao, (about 1 tablespoon) mix repeat * shape in
square 6. Add vanilla, mix, take maraschino cherries well drained,
wrap a little mixture around each cherry roll in to ball place on
cookie sheet and freeze. Now take others out of refrigerator and cut
with knife (about . inch pieces) on coconut add an almond on top on
peanut add a peanut on top. put on cookie sheets and freeze.
Melt chocolate in top of double (I use a good quality milk chocolate
but dark or white can be used, about a pound) Donít worry if that
seams to be allot. add . stick paraffin melt and stir tell smooth add
more paraffin if to thick you want it to pour from a spoon easily
(the paraffin gives shine and thins the chocolate adds no taste) take
frozen candies dip in chocolate using a tooth pick (I use long bamboo
skewer) after chocolate has set fill hole with knife or skewer dipped
in chocolate.
How I use left over chocolate you can add peanuts for peanut clusters
or if you want to be fancy take caramels soften in microwave roll in
peanuts or other nuts, dip in chocolate. Another way to use chocolate
is to take a heart shaped cookie cutter or I use a 4 inch heart
shaped cake pan line with tin foil (Making sure foil is smooth) pour
chocolate in mold, coat sides and bottom pour out excess chocolate
let set till chocolate is hard remove from form. Do foil again only
this time pour just enough chocolate to cover bottom let set now you
have a hart shaped box you can decorate with icing, put the candies
in or what ever, also can use eggs (you know the ones you get your
nylons in) for Easter. All my friends love my candies. Enjoy Fern
