I've made this thing twice now. It's really good. Yumm! I used Shreddies instead of Chex and tossed in Oreo chunks. The oreo and white chocolate was an awesome combination. I find though, the key is not to have too much white chocolate coating as it can get too sweet. At any rate, such an easy recipe and people of all ages from teenagers to grandparents loved this confection. Thanks for the recipe!

Popcorn Cake I

Reviewed: Sep. 11, 2007

I made this recently for the first time and I thought it was excellent...so did the parents and the 20 year olds. I had several requests for the recipe. It has a nice chewy texture and with the M&M's, a nice crunch. I added 1 cup of quartered jujubes and 1.5 cups of M&M's. I thought that was a good ratio, but the half cup of M&M's might have been much. If the popcorn part doesn't seem sweet enough, the candy pieces more than make up for that so don't add any sugar to the marshmallow unless you plan to add less than the suggested amount of candy. My recommendation is to cut the slices toward the thin side because there's plenty to chew. Thick pieces may be harder to bite through. I will definitely make this again. Thanks for sharing the recipe!

Angel Food Candy

Reviewed: Jun. 20, 2007

For what's it worth, I thought the recipe was quite easy to do. It was crunchy and tasted good, too! (By the way, I used apple cider vinegar because I didn't have the normal stuff. It smell weird cooking but the final product was fine.) This recipe is my first attempt at candy making so I think this recipe is fairly straight forward. Just be sure to premeasure everything and make sure the pan is greased before you start. A candy thermometer is very helpful to have. With an electric range, keep an eye for any parts that's cooking to fast. (When amber goes reddish, that means the syrup is starting to burn.) I found that once the temperature hits 300, pull the pot off the heat because the temp will still go up a bit before it starts to cool. Overall, thanks for the great recipe!

Zebra Sweets

Reviewed: Jun. 15, 2007

Honestly speaking, I haven't done this recipe yet. However the concept is straight forward. Rice Crispy Squares with flare. I just love the idea of cookie cutting them and making zebras with chocolate! Such a novel idea. I'm going to do this for my candy shop for the "back to school" festival. Thanks for the idea!

Party Punch IX

Reviewed: Nov. 14, 2006

I made this punch for both my workplace and a church function for the young people. It was a success for both places! I used lime jello powder both times and the young and old alike really enjoyed the slushy drink. People kept coming back for more 'cept that it was gone in a very short period of time. I had plenty of questions as to how I got the punch so evenly slushy (the mixture just thaws that way plus a diligent helper to mush out the odd lumps :) ) and had a few parents ask me for the recipe. Overall, I really like this recipe and will make again. Only thing is that I would cut out 0.5 to 1 cup of the sugar out. When I made it originally, I did take out 1/2 a cup of sugar but thought it a tat too sweet still but everyone else thought it was perfect. Oh well...

Chewy Caramel

Reviewed: Oct. 16, 2006

Awesome recipe! Very easy to make and it was my first time, too. I doubled the recipe and it was enough to coat around 25 medium sized apples. ( I used red/royal gala-can't remember what the name was) The caramel was yummy and the texture, I thought, really went well with the apples. By the way I made these caramel apples for 16 to 24 years old and they really snapped them up! I had left over caramel set and had them cut into cubes-and they were gobbled up too, and also by parents! The caramel colour was darker than what is found in stores but that didn't affect the flavour. Overall, I will do this recipe again. Excellent!
