Make Your Own Candy This Holiday Season When it comes to holiday candy, I prefer to make my own. Making your own confections, is easier than you might think. When it comes to making candy, you need to prepare ahead of time. Read the recipe completely, making sure you have all of the ingredients and equipment needed. Lay out everything that you will need before you begin to prepare the recipe. Candy Making Tips How To Crush Peppermint Candies: I find the easiest way to do this is by placing the peppermint candies in a heavy duty zipper close bag. Wrap a clean kitchen towel around the bag, then use a hammer to smash the candies. Storing Your Homemade Confections: I find it best to store my candy in the refrigerator in an airtight container. If you are worried about sticking, line your container with parchment paper. Presenting Your Confection's As Gifts: Purchase some quality plastic containers, or some round decorative holiday theme 'd tins. If you are using metal tins, line the bottoms with parchment paper. If you are making the Bonbons, purchase mini muffin cup liners. You can place a Bonbon in each liner, this keeps them separated and presentable. Here are 3 of my favorite Holiday Recipes. The following recipes do not require the use of a candy thermometer. Peppermint Marble Bark 6 squares semi-sweet baking chocolate Microwave semi-sweet and white baking chocolates in separate microwave-safe bowls, on high for 1 1/2 minutes. Stir until chocolates are completely melted. Stir 1/2 cup of the peppermint candies into each bowl. Alternately spoon melted chocolate onto waxed paper lined cookie sheet. Swirl chocolates together with knife to marbleize. Refrigerate for 1 hour or until firm. Break into pieces. White Chocolate Fudge with Cranberries 2 pkg. (6 squares each) white chocolate Line a 8" square pan with foil, with ends of foil extending over the sides of your pan, set aside. Microwave chocolate and milk in a bowl until chocolate is almost melted. Stir until chocolate is melted. Add almonds, cranberries, and grated orange peel. Stir until blended. Spread chocolate mixture into a prepared pan. Refrigerate for 2 hours until firm. Remove from pan via foil and place on a tray; cut into squares. Store in refrigerator in an airtight container. Peppermint Bonbons 1 lb. vanilla flavored confectioners coating In a heavy saucepan, melt confectioners coating over low heat. Remove from heat. Stir in whipping cream and peppermint extract. Beat at high speed with mixer until smooth. Chill in freezer for 25 minutes or until candy is stiff enough to be shaped. Form candy into round balls. Roll balls into crushed peppermint candy pieces. Arrange on a non-stick baking mat; let cool. Store in refrigerator in an airtight container. About the Author: Shelly Hill has been working from home since 1989 in Direct Sales.
