Thursday, October 27th, 2011

I’m pretty sure that I could eat candy corn until I turn orange! Could you? Once I start, I can’t stop!

What could be better than candy corn, you ask? Candy corn fudge! That’s what!

Candy Corn Fudge

1 7-oz. jar marshmallow cream
1 1/2 cups sugar
2/3 cup evaporated milk
2 tablespoons unsalted butter
2 cups candy corn (about 12 oz.)
1 cup semisweet chocolate chips

1. Line an 8-inch square pan with foil; butter foil. Combine marshmallow cream, sugar, evaporated milk and butter in a large, heavy pan. Bring mixture to a boil over medium-high heat. Cook, stirring constantly, until mixture reaches 235°F on a candy thermometer, 10 to 15 minutes.
2. Remove from heat and stir in candy corn and chocolate chips, stirring until chocolate melts. Immediately transfer to foil-lined pan and smooth top until even. Chill until set, at least 2 hours. Cut into one inch squares.

This is pure evil! Appropriate for a Halloween treat, don’t you think? Do you love candy corn?

My neighbor, Randall White, spotted these gorgeous gems…ArtCookies… at the most recent farmer’s market at Sylvan|Thirty and thought they were “blogworthy”. I couldn’t agree more! These are quiet possibly the most beautiful cookies I’ve ever seen! Little mini works of art!

These snowflake ArtCookies were finalist in the 2004 Holiday Cookie Contest hosted by The Dallas Morning News and Central Market.

Did I mention that they’re also delicious? These will be on my list of party food staples from now on! They’re so special that 2 or 3 wrapped together would make a great party favor!

Toffee Talk

Wednesday, December 8th, 2010

Oh Em Gee!! I’m scared to make this in fear that I will eat it all!

Skillet Toffee
makes about 2 1/4 pounds

1 pound unsalted butter
2 cups granulated sugar
1/2 teaspoon salt
1 teaspoon pure vanilla extract
8 ounces good quality semi-sweet chocolate, chopped
3/4 cup chopped toasted blanched almonds

Line the bottom and sides of a 10-inch x 15-inch baking sheet with parchment paper.

In a large cast iron skillet, melt the butter over medium high heat. As the butter melts, stir in the sugar and salt. Continue stirring constantly and rapidly with a wooden spoon, keeping the sides of pan clean by brushing occasionally with a wet pastry brush. The mixture should bubble as you stir. Cook until the mixture turns a deep golden brown, taking care not to burn it. Remove from the heat and stir in the vanilla.

Pour the mixture into the lined baking sheet. Allow to cool slightly, about 5 minutes, then sprinkle the mixture with the chocolate. When the chocolate looks glossy, spread it with an offset cake spatula or a wooden spatula, and sprinkle with the nuts. Gently press the nuts into the chocolate with the palms of your hands.

Cool completely (at least 6 hours) then break the toffee into chunks.
