I don't have a recipe or a name for it, but I was messing around last night in the kitchen and came up with an amazing candy. Maybe you all can help me come up with a name.

-Take your favorite chocolate fudge recipe, spread it really thin in a jelly roll pan (1/2")
-Let it set
-Spread on a thin layer of marshmallow creme
-Spread on a thin layer of homemade caramel
-Let it set, then cut into 1" squares (or whatever size)
-Then dip in tempered chocolate with a fork

I know it's a lot of steps but it's worth and people will think you're a chocolatier extrodinair icon_smile.gif

This process might be good with peanut butter fudge and just the mashmallow creme too

Enjoy!

GI- when I was making them, I kept hesitating, looking at my "holiday-roll" and thinking.. is this really safe. So I have resolved to give the rest away <evil laugh>

This isn't so much a recipe as an idea for packaging your Christmas candy treats.

I made the Wilton giant cupcake this weekend and used candy melts to make the cup for the bottom portion. I got the idea from someone here on CC and it is stupid-easy.

As I was poping the molded candy out of the pan, I thought.. ..hmmmm.. ..edible gift basket. The candy shell is the perfect size to hold a bunch of fudge or dipped cookies etc. Wrapped in cello it would be super cute.

I'm going to try making the shells out of peppermint bark so that the recipient can eat the candy in the shell and then eat the shell.

Oh, I thought you were one of those closet recipe hoarders. You know - the ones who need a map to get through the maze of boxes of printed recipes and memory cards all over the house. LOL! I think they have an intervention for that, now.

Oh, and if you want to look skinny, just stand next to me. But now I'm on a weight loss program I created for myself, so don't think you're going to be able to stand there too long.

Holiday Mix
1 1/2 cups corn chex
1 1/2 cups honey nut cheerios
1 1/2 - 2 cups small twisted pretzels
1 cup roasted peanuts
1 cup of M&M's or Reeses Pieces (1/2 of large bag)
1/4 cup of slivered almonds
1/2 bag of white chocalate chips
1 1/2 tbsp vegetable oil

Mix everything but the chocolate chips and oil together. In small bowl, melt chocolate chips with vegetable oil. Pour over cereal mixture. Dump onto parchment paper and spread it out. Wait about an hour, and then break up pieces and store in air tight container. (If it lasts that long, goes quick in my house)

Maaan, I trusted you to keep that information just between you and me!! How COULD you!? It's true! My name is Melissa... I'm addicted to recipes. Some days while my kids are sleeping, I pour out all the little cards on the bed and roll around in them. You really don't want to know what happens after that!

icon_eek.gif Woah, Mel, let's keep this a family thread. Hehehe.

Bark
Bark is one of my favorite things to give. Just melt Dark Cocoa Candy Melts® in a microwaveable bowl. I melt them in 30-second increments on medium power. Stir and microwave again until all melted.

Pour onto a cookie sheet lined with parchment paper. Now the fun begins.

Tiger Tail Bark
Drizzle Peanut Butter Candy Melts® over the Dark Cocoa Candy Melts®, then drizzle with White Candy Melts®. You can put this in the fridge to speed up the setting, or just leave at room temperature. Break up pieces of bark into good size pieces and place in a holiday gift bag or box. Tie with a pretty ribbon and attach gift card.
Candy Bar Bark
Melt Candy Melts. Before it sets up, sprinkle with crushed up candy bars. Break up pieces of bark into good size pieces and place in a holiday gift bag or box. Tie with a pretty ribbon and attach gift card.
White Candy Melts®
Melt Candy Melts. Before it sets up, sprinkle with dried cranberries and pistachio nuts. Break up pieces of bark into good size pieces and place in a holiday gift bag or box. Tie with a pretty ribbon and attach gift card.
Peppermint Bark
The Holiday Peppermint Bark Kit contains everything you need to make 6 treats for gift giving! Place bark in a Holiday Bark Gift Box Kit.
