texas date loaf candy

texas date loaf candy by Marlin Rinehart

This is a delicious old-fashioned Texas recipe similar to fudge but is shaped into a log and sliced. I was surprised to learn from a Mexican cookbook it is also made in old Mexico.

Creole Pralines

Creole Pralines by Amos Miller

Better than a cookie (sorry bakers, but this is a Creole group) and with the true taste of New Orleans, Creole Pralines are one of the signature treats in the Big Easy! It is time to play 'soft ball', and we're not talking the sport - we're talking Creole candy. When the recipe calls for your concoction on the stove to reach the…

Crystalized GINGER candy

Crystalized GINGER candy by Foodessa

This pungent, intense root of GINGER has now been integrated in my kitchen for at least 10 years or so. Admittedly at first, I could only stand to eat a hint of it in my food. It really was an acquired taste for me. Now, it seems, I just can't get enough of it! So much so, that I wanted to start making my Homemade Candied…

Homemade Marshmallow Creme

Homemade Marshmallow Creme by Foodiewife

I try to keep a jar of marshmallow creme in my pantry. I've always wanted to make my own, and today was the day. It's actually very easy to make, but you really do need a candy thermometer. After making this recipe, it was hard to not eat this by giant spoonfuls. It.is.so.good.you.want.to.eat.it.all I definitely have plans for this.…

Candy Corn Brittle

Candy Corn Brittle by Laurel

Candy corn is not my favorite. My former room mate Kendra and I discussed our dislike for it on several occasions. One particular time was shortly after I met JT and was making a batch of this brittle in hopes of making a good impression. In Kendra's words: "I don't like candy corn. Every year I try it, just to make sure I still…

Simple Creamy Fudge

Simple Creamy Fudge by Barbara Ferrell

Fudge no longer has to be difficult to make. Decades ago, I got this recipe from the Condensed Milk Can. Haven't found it for many years. It always works without complicating the process or using candy thermometers. The brands have gyped consumers on the ounces, from 16 ounces to just over 14. This threw off the recipe. I still use 18…

Vanilla Fudge

Vanilla Fudge by Lorenda Beumont

This is a smooth, creamy fudge that makes a good base if you want to experiment with flavourings. It is less temperamental than those made with cream. Before, I used to make fudge using condensed milk, but now I only make this recipe.

New Orleans Butter Pralines

New Orleans Butter Pralines by David Gilbert

New Orleans pralines -- and that's pronounced PRAH-leens, to set the record straight -- are unique among pralines. They contain butter and milk to give them a softer, almost chewy texture. The taste is addictive.

Easy Two (Nuts Optional) Ingredient Delicious Toffee

Easy Two (Nuts Optional) Ingredient Delicious Toffee by Barbara Ferrell

I've made this recipe for years. Got it from a fellow worker who used the microwave to cook it. I used a pan on the stove to have more control and get it the deep golden color instead of pale blonde. I always felt it was too much butter because after making it, it swam in the rest of the butter that the sugar didn't soak up, But,…
