This year, Pinterest gave us so many ideas. We made witch fingers, “boo-nana” pops, Frankenstein marshmallow pops, Jack Skellington chocolate-covered apples, white chocolate mummy pretzels, pretzel pumpkins, and Mummy Nutter Butters.
Besides having a Halloween theme, what else can you find in common with all these treats? Did I hear candy melts? Yes, candy melts!
This recipe is great for making caramel to drizzle on pancakes or waffles, for dipping slices of fresh fruits, or to use as a sweetener in your favorite warm drink.
As far as caramel sauces go, this one is really tasty and really easy to make.
These days, slime is a big hit with the kids. It comes in different colors and different varieties such as fluffy slime, crunchy slime and glitter slime. They just seem to enjoy the stretching and squishing.
It may sound weird but apparently, playing with slime has several benefits. It’s even therapeutic in a way and is being used as a sensory activity for kids of all ages.
And, as it turns out, you can make it with marshmallows!
I’ve learned a lot, working with caramels over the past few years. So many recipes call for caramel and they require various consistencies which also require various ingredients and techniques.
You’ve seen my caramel apples recipe – I made it without corn syrup. Then there’s my chewy caramels recipe without condensed milk and another one using evaporated milk. You probably even tried my salted caramel frooze balls or the chocolate covered caramel balls.
Or perhaps you’ve looked through my blog and found the many ways you can make caramel garnish.
I have this caramel sauce that doesn’t make use of butter or cream. I also posted a recipe using brown sugar in case you want a richer and deeper flavor in yours. There are so many caramel recipes on this blog, you’d probably think I runa caramel shop (I don’t :)!
Some of my most recent posts are about making caramel sauce thicker and how to make caramel for coffee. I just can’t have enough caramel in my life and I’m sure you can relate!
It’s not a secret that (almost) everything goes well with chocolates – provided you use a good brand and you follow the correct process. But it’s important that your chocolate has the right consistency.
If you came here looking for ways to make melted chocolate thinner, you came to the right place.
Making candy requires corn syrup every now and then and so do many other treats because of corn syrup’s anti-crystallization properties.
But because of corn syrup’s harmful effects, many people want to use a substitute instead.
If you’re like me and you love baking cakes for special occasions, but you’re tired of throwing out the leftovers, then this recipe is for you. In it you will learn how to make cake pops from leftover cake. It’s a sure fire way to turn your old cake into a new treat that the kids will love. It’s actually so easy, your kids can help make the cake pops
When I first heard about the Starbucks Caramel Brûlée Latte (quite often incorrectly called a Crème Brûlée Latte, especially by my husband), I headed to the nearest Starbucks. As expected, my kids wanted a Skittles Frappuccino and, feeling a little adventurous, I tried the Caramel Brûlée Latte.
Side note: If you haven’t heard of Skittles Frappuccino at Starbucks before, it’s part of their secret menu so you won’t normally see it on a menu, you have to ask for it. And if you want to save some cash, my Skittles Frappuccino recipe does a pretty good job of mimicking the Starbucks version.
Anyway, while I was enjoying my drink, I realized I now have a new favorite next to the classic Vanilla Latte. To my dismay, these two favorites are seasonal so I can only have them from November until January.
The only good solution is making my own. Luckily, it’s fast, easy, and inexpensive.
It’s a clear win for me since this is another recipe I can add to my ever-growing list caramel recipes.
