This is a great book for candy making. It really is for--not necessarily dummies, but people that are new to candy making. I had never made any candy in my life, and now every Christmas I make truffles, meltaways, and even turtles. Never felt the need to buy another candy book.
Thus far I have tried:
Basic Fondant, pg 70: I've used this couple of times to make mint centers to dip in chocolate. (Pg 76)
Mint Meltaways, pg 81 Last year they were grainy, but this year they came out perfect!
Caramels, pg 88: I have used this recipe every year for 10 years to make caramel for caramel pecan clusters aka turtles (pg 96)
Peanut Brittle, pg 148: I have made this recipe a few years and it has never gone wrong.
Dipped Peanut Butter Crackers, pg 186: My show more grandma used to make these, it doesn't even need a recipe it is so simple! And so good.
Tiger Butter, pg 204, this is a very simple recipe, and one of my family's favorites. White chocolate with peanut butter, swirled with semi-sweet chocolate.
Milk Chocolate Truffles, pg 236 This recipe makes something that seems difficult very easy. Very smooth center
Coffee Truffles, pg 24: This year these turned out a little grainy, but last year they were smooth. show less
