Homemade Caramel, My Failproof Recipe
I always thought that getting coal for Christmas wasn't THAT bad of a punishment for naughty kids. Sure it's not as fun as toys, but at least it has some use, plus it's better than nothing. If it were up to me, I'd give bad kids things like dried up markers, creepy Jack-in-the-boxes, crumbly rocks...

Coming to the end of yet another grocery shopping mission, having avoided temptation for the most part, the final destination is still fraught with danger. It’s those darned impulse buys so cleverly lined up by the check-out line, inviting you to add just one tiny sweet something to the tally. Yes, I’m definitely an impulse buyer when the mood strikes, so those offerings in and of themselves wouldn’t be so frustrating, if it weren’t for the content. Often lacking in proper labels, or full of unsavory ingredients, these temptations are merely eye-candy at best.
Sometimes, being a chemist comes in very handy in the kitchen. In my previous candy experiments you might have noticed the massive amount of molten sugar I’ve been working with. From the marshmallows to the taffy and the butterfinger bars , I’ve been going through pounds and pounds of sugar and my kitchen is getting pretty sticky. (I found some rogue purple sugar this morning while toasting a bagel!) This danger of the sugar is not what makes my PhD an asset, it is my familiarity with failure.
Buffalo Sponge Candy
Peppermint Crisps = Confidence Boost « The Culinary Chronicles
Today was one of those days in the kitchen. You know what I’m talking about….those days where everything you attempt seems to go to heck in a handbag . It started at about 7:30am and after 4 failed desserts/pastries, I finally had to throw in the towel at about 1:00pm.
Pumpkin Candy Cups
Pumpkin Candy Cups It’s time for day two of pumpkin week! These are fun little treats to make for Thanksgiving (or really for any reason). They’re shaped like peanut butter cups but with a fun new flavor twist. The combination of rich white chocolate surrounding a smooth and creamy pumpkin pie spiced filling is absolutely delicious. It actually made me wonder why I’ve never combined the two flavors before.
Pumpkin Pie Pecan Candy
I guess it’s inevitable that pumpkin season and fall foods eventually appear even though I’m not ready to give up summer foods yet. Don’t get me wrong, I love the fall! It’s my favorite time of year. I just feel like I was gypped of a summer this year because it felt so short! One of my favorite fall foods is pumpkin.Gingerbread Truffle Recipe - How to Make Gingerbread Truffles - Christmas Candy Recipes
This recipe for Gingerbread Truffles produces soft, aromatic truffle balls that taste like gingerbread cookie dough! These Christmas candies feature gingersnaps, spices, toasted nuts, and white chocolate. To crush the gingersnaps, you can either use a blender or food processor, or place them in a large Ziploc bag and crush them with a rolling pin. Be sure that the cookies are in small crumbs, not large chunks. Don't miss the video showing how to make gingerbread truffles !My friend Ana Elisa’s adventure in making torrone reminded me of how much work these caramels were: it took forever for the mixture to achieve the desired temperature, and I was melting in my kitchen while stirring it; after that, another century went by before I finished cutting them, oiled knife and all. Not to mention they were super soft and hard to wrap, too. You’ll probably ask me why on earth I am posting such recipe – well, all the trouble slipped my mind the minute I tasted one caramel. :) Gingerbread caramels adapted from Pure Dessert
Gingerbread caramels
Would you believe that the secret ingredient in these wonderful chocolate orange truffles is Tang? Yes, that day-glo orange powdered drink that most of you probably drank as kids. I got the crazy idea to use Tang to flavor these truffles from Retro Bakery in Las Vegas .
