Cake Truffles
This recipe is from Bakerella, is super popular, and is very good. They are time consuming, especially if you make them for the first time, so plan for a couple days. This is a unique treat to give as a gift or to serve at a bridal shower, a holiday party, or any get together. Enjoy! Prep time does not include chilling time. — posted by Greeny4444

CHEWING GUM SWEEPSTAKES SPREADS GLEE
In Honor of the Hit Show on FOX, A Chance to Win in Every Glee Gum Box!
PROVIDENCE, RI – September 22, 2009 — “Glee” is a word often heard these days, thanks to the most highly anticipated television show of the season. In celebration of the “Glee” series on TV, Glee Gum is delighted to join FOX in offering ELEVEN winning tickets inside select packs of gum this fall!
Beginning Sept. 23, 2009, the “Your Ticket to Glee” sweepstakes offers gum-chewers aged 18 years and older a chance to win one of eleven fabulous prize packages. Ten Glee Gum packs contain vouchers for big prizes of yummy gum and “Glee” show merchandise— from hats and tees to autographed cast pictures. The eleventh Glee Gum pack holds the ticket to the super grand prize: a trip for two to Hollywood! The grand prize includes roundtrip air transportation, two nights hotel accommodation, and a $250 American Express gift card. How Glee-ful!
“Glee,” the genre-defying new musical comedy series, follows an optimistic teacher who – against all odds and a malicious cheerleading coach – attempts to save McKinley High’s Glee Club from obscurity while helping a group of aspiring underdogs realize their true star potential. Embraced by critics and viewers alike, the uplifting show with biting humor features a soundtrack of hit music from past to present. Tune in to “Glee” Wednesdays (9:00-10:00 PM ET/PT) on FOX!
While watching “Glee”, try chewing it too. Available in six sweet flavors, Glee Gum is all-natural chewing gum made without artificial flavors, colors, sweeteners, or preservatives. The secret ingredient is chicle, a swell, sticky tree sap harvested from the rainforests of Central America. Using chicle is a sustainable way to keep the trees of the rainforest standing, and to help the folks who work there to make a living. Plus, that’s how gum was originally made – and you know what they say when it ain’t broke! Packaged in recycled cardboard, Glee provides a great, green alternative to artificial gums.
With national distribution in specialty grocers like Whole Foods and Cost Plus, Glee Gum can be found from sea to shining sea. Who knows where “Your Ticket to Glee” will be?

Almond Roca
My daughters’ mother in law makes this at Christmas and it is the best homemade candy I’ve ever had. The measurements for the chocolate and almonds are approximate. Also you can use your favorite chocolate here, dark or milk as well as your choice of nuts. I recommend that if you have a BBQ with a side burner to take this outside to cook as it does start to smoke when it reaches the crack stage. Enjoy! — posted by Raelene’s

St. John’s Honey Fudge from the Isle of Man
This recipe was posted for the British Isles Culinary Cruise 2009. It comes from the Isle of man Community Website: www.iofm.net. It is traditionally made and sold at the Tynwald Fair, which is the oldest surviving fair on the Isle of Man. It is still held at the village of St. John’s every 5th July. The chocolate probably came into the recipe because smugglers along the coast introduced exotic foods and spices. This fudge has a smooth, chocolatey flavor with a hint of honey. — posted by bakedapple42
