Candy is so many things to so many different people. It can be a reward, an indulgence, a weakness, a vice. One thing all seem to agree upon is that candy is delicious.
I received 300 Best Homemade Candy Recipes. It’s the step-by-step candy bible for home candy-makers.
Those with a sweet tooth will find this book their indulgence. It’s perfect year round, but imagine Christmas and the baskets of goodies for friends, neighbors and relatives! There is so much variety of candy and the recipes are easy to follow.
With hundreds of recipes for mouthwatering candies, chocolates, pralines, crèmes, fudges, toffee, holiday treats and no-bake cookies, this candy cookbook covers the traditional to the exotic.
Chocolate Peanut Clusters and Blue Ribbon Turtles are on the top of my list. But this book isn’t just about chocolate.
Complete with easy-to-follow instructions and 75 step-by-step photos, this is a treasure trove of information and inspiring recipes. Although many are intimidated at the thought of making candies at home, Jane Sharrock shows how to master a few basic principles that every candy maker should know. She makes it easy to produce delicious goodies in the home kitchen.
