Rainbow Peppermint Patties
Brace yourselves, because these Rainbow Peppermint Patties are going to knock your socks off! Peppermint patties are one of those mystical treats. I never really understood what they were actually made out of—only that I loved eating them. The idea of making them on my own seemed overwhelming and difficult, but actually seeing what went into them made me feel like I could do it. Then I got a little overly confident and had a harebrained ide... Read More ›

Spicy Peanut Butter-Caramel Fudge
They’re not really caramels, not really fudge. These candies are somewhere in-between—the texture is almost like a Tootsie Roll. I whipped up a batch of this Spicy Peanut Butter-Caramel Fudge last week and believe me when I say it’s totally addictive! I’m glad they tasted so good, because the first time around I tried a totally different recipe and burned the whole batch (and set off the fire alarm). After some tinkering and playin... Read More ›

PB&J Potato Candy
I remember visiting my grandmother’s house as a child; she would occasionally have out a plate of strangely soft and slightly sweet candies. “What are these?” I would ask. “They are special candies.” My grandmother would reply. After a few years, I learned that what my grandmother meant by “special” was “made from leftover potatoes.” They were very tasty though, so I could’ve cared less what they were made from! Now...

Needhams Candy
I have a need. A need for Needhams. Have any of you ever heard of needhams before? Chances are high that if you’re from the east coast where they originated, you have. Being a dyed-in-the-wool Midwesterner myself, I’d never had the pleasure of trying (or even knowing about) needhams before until someone told me about this amazing little candy that tastes a lot like a Mounds bar but is made with mashed potatoes. Mashed potatoes! I was intr... Read More ›

Monster Cereal Candy Bars
People at the grocery store probably think I am weird. Like, REALLY weird. I run around that place, always searching. For what? Who knows. Something is there, and I am going to be the one to find it. A new herb in the produce section? I get my face right in there and take a big whiff. I have been known to stand in front of the onions and feel each and every one to make sure I leave the store with the best onion they have. When I discover an e... Read More ›

Blow Pop Martini
The Blow Pop Martini is the cocktail that began my obsession with bubble-gum flavored vodka. It’s a perfect cocktail for spring break, or any kind of warm weather fete. – I will definitely be serving these as a theme cocktail patio-side once the prairie thaws! As such, the recipe is for a crowd (serves 12). Cut it down to a single cocktail by measuring the proportions of the lemonade concentrate, water, and vodka with your trusty shot glas... Read More ›
