Chocolate-Covered Sponge Candy

December 30, 2020 by Faith 32 Comments

Homemade Chocolate-Covered Sponge Candy is easier to make than you might think. If you love this candy as much as this Buffalo girl, this recipe is for you! Here the crunch and complex sweetness of caramelized sugar candy is coated with chocolate for a treat everyone loves.

Chocolate-Covered Sponge Candy 1

We don’t talk candy much around here, which is probably for the best.

Of course with the exception of things like Crispy Toasted Puffed Quinoa Dark Chocolate Candy Bars, Healthy Chocolate Peanut Butter Cups, and Paleo Candy Apple Wedges.…

Chocolate Peppermint Bark

December 9, 2019 by Faith 55 Comments

Everyone loves Chocolate Peppermint Bark; it’s a delicious, easy-to-make recipe that’s great for using up leftover candy canes! While I was growing up, my mom used to solve our leftover candy cane problem by saving them to hang on the next year’s Christmas tree....

Soft and Chewy Peanut Butter Salted Caramels

Soft and Chewy Peanut Butter Salted Caramels with Peanut Butter & Co.® Front View

Soft and Chewy Peanut Butter Salted Caramels are a beautiful balance of sweet caramel and flaky sea salt, with deep notes of peanut butter. We all have our favorite types of candy; that one thing we can’t resist when we see it at the store. Peanut butter cups, cherry cordials, butter toffee, fudge, to name just a few. For me, when I walk by a candy shop and smell fresh-made caramel, it takes every ounce of willpower to resist. That aroma calls me like a siren....

Crispy Toasted Puffed Quinoa Dark Chocolate Candy Bars

February 24, 2017 by Faith 5 Comments

Crispy Toasted Puffed Quinoa Dark Chocolate Candy Bars are a real-food take on a favorite candy bar! Growing up in the ‘80’s/90’s, things like Boston Baked Beans (the candy coated peanuts), candy cigarettes, and Warheads were our junk foods of choice. My sister also had a thing for Nestlé Crunch Bars, but I was more of a Reese’s Peanut Butter Cup kind-of girl. If I had been able to try this real-food version of a Crunch bar, things might have been different though; IMO, this blows the real thing out of the water....

Healthy Chocolate-Walnut Fudge

March 25, 2013 by Faith 21 Comments

A while ago I bought a bulk-sized package of creamed coconut on Amazon. I was actually looking for coconut cream but I couldn’t find it; not realizing that several coconut products (creamed coconut, coconut cream, and cream of coconut) were named in a lawyer-like fashion with their meaning hinging on an ever-so-slight difference in word ordering, I bought a six-pack. How different could creamed coconut really be from coconut cream?, I asked myself. I was about to find out. Let’s just say, perhaps the only thing they have in common is that they’re made from coconut....

Gingersnap + White Chocolate Truffles {7 Days of Festive Holiday Treats}

December 16, 2012 by Faith 11 Comments

If you had to choose only one flavor that embodies fall, what would it be? For me, it’s ginger, without a doubt. (I’m pretty sure this is because of these cookies, which I vividly remember my mom frequently making in autumns gone by.) Even when I don’t have homemade Molasses Crinkles on hand, I can usually find a box of store-bought gingersnaps in my cupboard (which are surprisingly delicious!)....

Homemade Apple-Walnut Turkish Delight

December 19, 2011 by Faith 29 Comments

Ever notice how certain movies (even non-foodie movies) are incredibly good at making you crave certain things?  (Which, incidentally, definitely has to be some kind of evil conspiracy.)  It even starts with movies for the little ones; as a kid I couldn’t watch Snow White without wanting an apple (and yes, I understood that the apple in the movie was poisoned, lol!) and Lady and the Tramp has always incited a craving for spaghetti.  And thanks to Edmund and the wickedly alluring White Witch, The Chronicles of Narnia:  The Lion, the Witch and the Wardrobe will always mean Turkish delight....

Candied Grapefruit Peel — Christmas Brunch

December 20, 2010 by Faith 41 Comments

Growing up, my family’s favorite cookbook was Betty Crocker’s Cookbook (my sister and I would get so excited when we saw my mom pull out that tattered red cookbook!  We knew something delicious was not far away).  Not just any Betty Crocker cookbook though, it was a 1981 edition, which of course is now considered vintage (funny how times change, isn’t it?).  The thing about this cookbook is that it’s designed not only to hold recipes, but to actually teach the average modern day home cook how to cook....
