Easy Chocolate Peanut Butter Fudge. December 27, 2013 | Desserts There is something about the holidays that transports us to our childhood memories. Perhaps it’s seeing old family ornaments hung on the tree. Or maybe it’s pulling out your grandmother’s Christmas china for a special dinner. Or maybe it’s just the simple gathering of loved ones and the inherent reminiscing that happens. No matter what the cause, this Christmas, as my husband and I were alone until Christmas night, I found myself thinking of my childhood, and inevitably of the treats we used to make as kids at that time of year. You may remember some time ago when I moved my parents out of their home, I came across all of my mom’s old recipe cards and cookbooks. I made a double batch this year – don’t ask me why, as now I’m faced with throwing it away just so I can stop eating it.

Coconut Cream Truffles. Spring is one of my favorite food times of the year because it’s perfectly acceptable to add coconut to every single dessert. If you like coconut, these Coconut Cream Truffles are for you! I have a slight bone to pick with Hershey’s Kisses. My absolute favorite Kiss flavor is the Coconut Cream. Every year after Valentine’s Day I start impatiently stalking Target for my shipment to come in.
I usually buy a bag to bake with…and a bag to eat. There are NO coconut cream kisses to be found! I’ve looked at Target. It’s a sad, sad day in the Crazy household. I even bought another brand, a popular one that has very good chocolate. So I decided to take matters into my own hands. I made my own coconut cream truffles. These are a simple butter-based truffle with triple the coconut stirred right in. Once you mix up the base of the truffle (butter and powdered sugar) you add vanilla and coconut extract. The second coconut layer comes from Cream of Coconut. Hate dipping? I went easy, with more coconut.

Brown Sugar Fudge | Farm Flavor. Foolproof Holiday Fudge. Hazelnut Truffle Fudge Recipe. Chocolate tahini caramel delights. Imagine a giant peanut butter cup... change the peanut butter into tahini-cashew butter. add a bite of caramel in the middle. turn it into an ice cream version. then make it vegan and raw. the final result is this recipe. i wanted to do something with the sesame seed butter we had, and also make a fancier spin on a PB cup. so here ya go. i hope you like them... okay, you'll love them. unless you're crazy, or have a phobia of chocolate (actually a legitimate disorder, it is called xocolatophobia). the raw caramel is also divine in the middle. i ate the extra on it's own with an organic apple. the ice cream part was actually a mistake, but the kind that makes things better (don't ya love those?
They're kinda rare). my chocolate recipe had too much liquid and so didn't solidify like normal chocolate. i had to freeze it to make it harden, but it ended up even more delicious as a frozen treat. let's hear it for helpful mistakes!

Popcorn and Caramel Chocolate Candy Cones I think my taste buds may be out of control. They definitely need a time out. All I wanted was some popcorn but my taste buds took control and demanded something salty, sweet and crunchy. Then in no time I was eating these popcorn and caramel chocolate candy cones.

Classic fantasy fudge - so good, but oh-sooo bad. It's an icon of holiday indulgence, and the rich, smooth chocolate squares are hard to resist. I love the way each bite feathers against the enamel of my teeth. I love the jolt of tooth-ache inspiring sweetness that dissipates before I know what hit me. That being said, I'm never the supplier - I never make it. I know what goes into a batch of fantasy fudge, and rarely have anything other than the chocolate on hand in my own kitchen - no Kraft marshmallow creme, no margarine, no huge quantities of white sugar, no evaporated milk.
But we are neck-deep in the holiday season, and when I came across a container of Ricemellow Crème the other day while grocery shopping, it occurred to me to try to make my own version using less processed and better quality base ingredients. It's still fudge, it's still the sweetest thing I've put in my mouth all year, but it's a few degrees in my direction on the ingredient spectrum. Print Recipe.

It’s a flavor combination I’ve loved for as long as I can remember. And ever since cake balls have come on the scene, I have enjoyed those tasty little treats. But what I haven’t loved is the fact that most recipes I’ve seen use a boxed cake mix and canned frosting. I wanted something I could make from scratch so when I came across this cookbook at the library a couple of weeks ago, I knew it was perfect for me to get the best of both worlds.
