Carrot Cake
Angel Food Cake Gluten Free
It is best to make this on a day with low humidity. Fresher eggs are best to use, otherwise the cake may “weep”.
Peanut Butter Bars
A simple recipe we found that is great for anyone learning how to cook or a quick treat. These are an easy version of buckeyes or peanut butter cups.
Chocolate Sausage
Rolled into a sausage shape and then cut, this is a simple and very customizable treat.
Andrea’s Cupcakes with Buttercream Frosting
These are a nice, soft cupcake. Many who taste them say they are the “best” cupcakes they have ever had. She has also had a few people who do not like cupcakes compliment them and eat more than one.
Molasses Cookies
A favorite, special cookie our neighbor, Marilyn shares with us over the holidays. The recipe is slightly vague, but if you have made cookies before, adjusting the amount of flour to your preference is easy. I kept the recipe mostly as written, because that is part of its charm.
Gingerbread Chai Biscotti
These are a drier biscotti, but are wonderful with hot chocolate or tea.
Salted Caramel Popcorn Topping
We keep searching for inexpensive but fun toppings for our popcorn. This one is really sweet, but it is a great stand in when you want caramel corn without all the work.
Aunt Debbie’s Buckeyes
Dad called Aunt Debbie on Christmas while at our house. It was so nice to “talk” to her for a few minutes. While talking, she mentioned that she was making some candy with a granddaughter. Aunt Debbie gave us her recipe to make the candy also.
Use gluten free Crispy Rice and be sure all your ingredients are gluten free if you want to make them just like Aunt Debbie does.
We have made buckeyes before, but we really like this version with the Crispy Rice. I think it may be our new favorite way to make these treats.
Funnel Cakes
We do not always go to the fair. We enjoy it, but sometimes, we enjoy other things instead. This year, we went camping!
When we first made these in July 2009, we also made elephant ears on the same day. We had spent the day at the fair and we told the kids we would buy them one treat and since Momma knew how to make these at home, they decided on a treat we could not make . After making these, Mark put this warning on the bottom of his blog,
WARNING! Do not make these and elephant ears at the same time. You might get sick.
