Homemade Cadbury Creme Eggs

This is my all time favorite Easter candy. I was super excited when I found the recipe to re-create them. It's a little time consuming, but well worth it. Happy Easter! 1/2 c. light corn syrup 1/4 c. butter 1 tsp vanilla 1/4 tsp salt 3 c. powdered sugar 4 drops yellow food coloring 1-2 drops red food coloring 2 (12 oz.) bag milk chocolate chips 2 Tbsp vegetable shortening Combine corn syrup, butter, vanilla, & salt. Beat until smooth. Add powdered sugar 1 cup at a time & mix until creamy. Remove 1/3 of the mixture & add food coloring. Cover and refrigerate both parts for 2 hours or until firm. Roll the orange into small marble sized balls. Take about twice the amount of white & wrap it around the orange, make it sort of oval, or egg-shaped. Place onto a greased cookie sheet. Refrigerate again for 3-4 hours. Melt the chocolate chips in the microwave with the 2 Tb of shortening. Use a fork or toothpick to dip each ball in

Homemade Gummy Candies

I recently made some homemade gummy candies for my kids. They were super simple & fun to make. My kids LOVED eating them. They tasted just like regular gummies that you can buy. You can make virtually any flavor, since they are made with Jell-O. We made berry blue- yum! Here is what you will need: 3 envelopes unflavored gelatin The boxes I bought came with a few envelopes in each box. 1 small pkg. Jell-O- any flavor, with sugar 1/3 c. water (a little more (add an extra Tablespoon or two) A mold to pour it into- I used small shape ice cube trays- you could use any molds, though. Smaller is better. To make: Pour all the gelatin into a pot & mix with water. Cook over medium heat, stirring constantly until melted & dissolved completely. Pour into molds quickly. This recipe only filled 1 mold. Let cool & remove from the molds. To speed up the process, put into the fridge or freezer for 10 minutes. Pin It

No-Fail Egg Noodles

You know those thick yummy home-made noodles in chicken noodle soup. That's what these are. They are so good. I absolutely LOVE them. I made a pot of chicken noodle soup with these and it seriously makes the soup so much better. It is a true comfort food for me. They are really easy to make. You can double them and freeze them for later if you want, too. Or, they can be stored in the fridge for a few days for later use as well. Homemade Egg Noodles 1 egg 2 egg yolks 3 Tbsp cold water 1 tsp salt 2 c. flour Beat the eggs until light and fluffy. Add the remaining ingredients. Knead until smooth. Roll out on a floured surface to about 1/8" thickness. Cut into strips- I just used a pizza cutter. You can store them in the fridge for 2-3 days or in the freezer for 1-2 months. Cook 7-9 minutes in boiling water. Serve any way you like- but they are fabulous in chicken soup!
