Every year we try to learn a new candy recipe. This is our recipe for this year!
Peanut Brittle with Pretzels
Ferrero Rocher, Homemade
We made homemade hazelnut butter spread and reduced the sugar. Megan suggested replacing the wafer cookies with rice crispies to see if they stayed crunchier.
Chai Mix, Powdered (Updated)
We were very disappointed that Nestle unsweetened instant tea has been discontinued. However, we found a new instant tea that we like and have been playing with old recipes.
Adjust the spices and sugar to your taste.
Pakistani Kima (Ground Beef Curry)
Braised Beef Tips
We like this so much that the first few years we were married, this was the first meal we served to any guest.
Valentine Popcorn
The first time Andrea made this was for a Valentine’s day soccer game treat. Thus, “Valentine Popcorn”. Though Megan insisted it was Princess corn.
Caramel Corn
Our neighbor, Miss Margaret gave us this recipe over ten years ago. She was a wonderful friend to my grandma and they spent many hours just enjoying each other’s company every summer.
One day we accidentally made this with half the butter. It still tasted very good. Allan said that either recipe “melts in your mouth”.
For reference 2 tablespoons of kernels, about an ounce of kernels, will make approximately four cups (one quart) of popped corn. You will need around 3/4 cups of kernels for this recipe. Be sure to remove the unpopped or partially popped seeds before making.
