Search Results for: Christmas and made three batches of the stuff

 

I finally got this recipe from my mother last Christmas and made three batches of the stuff! I always loved it as a kid and no one can keep their hands off it. I had always assumed that Aunt Bill was some distant relative so I was surprised to find this was not a family recipe, but a pretty famous one, haha!

Ingredients:

1 cup unsalted butter

1 cup granulated sugar

1/2 cup heavy cream

1/4 cup light corn syrup

1 teaspoon vanilla extract

1 1/2 cups salted dry roasted peanuts

1 1/2 cups pecans, chopped

1/2 teaspoon baking soda

Directions:

Line a baking sheet with parchment paper or lightly grease it. Set aside.

In a medium saucepan, melt the butter over medium heat. Add the sugar, heavy cream, and corn syrup, and stir to combine. Bring the mixture to a boil, stirring occasionally.

Once it starts boiling, reduce the heat to medium-low and let it simmer for about 5 minutes, stirring constantly. The mixture should thicken slightly.

Remove the pan from heat and stir in the vanilla extract and baking soda.

Add the peanuts and chopped pecans to the pan, mixing them in until well-coated with the syrup mixture.

Pour the mixture onto the prepared baking sheet and spread it out evenly. Let it cool at room temperature for about 1-2 hours, or until it hardens.

Once cooled and hardened, break the candy into pieces and store in an airtight container. Enjoy!

A perfect recipe for tea, coffee, and sweet cravings 

After just one taste, my friend was begging for the recipe

 

Ingredients

1 package (8 oz) cream cheese, softened
1/2 cup powdered sugar
1 teaspoon vanilla extract
1 cup whipped topping
1 cup strawberries, hulled and halved
1 cup blueberries
1 cup pineapple chunks
1 cup grapes, halved
1 cup mandarin oranges, drained

Directions

In a large mixing bowl, beat the cream cheese until smooth and creamy.

Add the powdered sugar and vanilla extract, and mix until well combined.

Gently fold in the whipped topping until the mixture is smooth and fluffy.

In a separate bowl, combine all the fruits.

Carefully fold the fruit mixture into the cream cheese mixture until the fruit is evenly coated.

Cover and refrigerate for at least 1 hour before serving to allow the flavors to meld together.

Variations & Tips

For a tropical twist, add some shredded coconut and chopped mango to the fruit mix. If you're a fan of nuts, a handful of chopped pecans or walnuts can add a nice crunch. For a lighter version, you can substitute the cream cheese with Greek yogurt, which will still give you that creamy texture with a bit more tang. If you like a little zest, try adding a teaspoon of lemon or lime juice to the cream cheese mixture for an extra pop of flavor.
