Peanut Butter Caramel Bites (Gluten-Free Vegan Snickers)

Filed under: Latest Candy News, recipezaar — Tags: , , , , , , — Recipezaar: Candy recipes @ 9:46 pm

I found this recipe posted on the Vegan Fitness forums when I was searching for a recipe for homemade vegan Snickers. I adapted it to American measurements. Don’t expect these to last long. Experiment with some of the add-ins (peanuts are great) and with the type of cereal (we prefer the Health Valley brand of rice chex and corn chex). They’re also good with melted chocolate on the top. — posted by Kumquat Knickers

Candy Review: Edward Marc Gourmet Chocolates and Pretzels

Edward Marc candy boxes

Looking for a gorgeous chocolate gift? Whether you’re treating yourself or someone else, Edward Marc has some lovely goodies to share with you. I recently received of a box of Edward Marc gourmet assorted chocolates and a box of chocolate peanut butter pretzels to review.

The first thing I noticed was the packaging. It’s very classy and elegant, without being stuffy. My immediate thought was “Ooh, this would make a nice gift!” When I opened the box of chocolates, I was delighted to see that the inside was even prettier than the outside.

Edward Marc assorted chocolates

Looks are all well and good, but what about the taste? I can tell you that Edward doesn’t skimp on flavor or texture. There’s a mix of solid chocolates and filled chocolates. The white, dark, and milk chocolate shells were consistently rich and creamy, so no matter what filling you got, the chocolate was always great. Plus, there’s a nice variety in the fillings, including fruit, nuts, and creams, so there’s something for just about everyone. I really liked the Golden Raisin Cluster – think uber upscale Raisinet. But hands down, my favorite thing in the box was the Dark Chocolate Salt Caramel. OMG! These people have taken caramels to a new level. The caramel is incredibly buttery, just the right amount of chewy, and not too sweet. With the rich dark chocolate and then the salt – who knew salt could add such a wow factor? – I was in heaven. It’s a good thing I didn’t get a whole box of just the caramels or might have had to propose to someone at the Edward Marc factory.

The only misses for me had to do with personal taste rather than shortcomings on Edward Marc’s part. Personally, I’m not that into orange peel, so the white chocolate with the orange peel didn’t light my fire. And, I’m not really into the meltaways, but if light, creamy, melt-in-your-mouth fillings are your thing, these will make you swoon. I did, however, really enjoy the roasted coffee beans on top of some of the meltaways. They added crunch and a surprising amount of flavor that really complimented the chocolates.

I also tried the peanut butter pretzels. I don’t know what Edward Marc has been feeding their pretzels, but these pretzels are huge!

While the pretzels were good, I can’t say I got the same wow that I got from the chocolates. I think this is, again, a matter of personal taste. First, I love salt, and I felt like the pretzels really need salt. Second, the peanut butter had more of the whipped consistency, like the filling in the meltaways which, again, is not my personal preference. I prefer a more solid, less sweet consistency. That said, I still enjoyed the pretzels. The chocolate was rich, the portion was extremely generous, and the pretzels were nice and crunchy.

Overall, Edward Marc makes a lovely mixed box of chocolates, in variety, in presentation, and in taste. They also make a good box of ginormous chocolate peanut butter pretzels, with good chocolate and texture. In both cases, Edward Marc doesn’t skimp on ingredients or portions. I can see either or both of these making good gifts.

What Went Wrong? Sugar Crystallizing in Caramel Sauce

Filed under: Latest Candy News, Yum Sugar — Tags: , , , — YumSugar @ 10:30 pm

Over the weekend, I was attempting to make caramel sauce as an edible gift when something went terribly wrong. The result? An epic caramel bourbon vanilla sauce fail. During my first attempt, I boiled the sugar and water mixture over medium heat – but before it could turn amber-colored, the mixture suddenly and unexpectedly became a hardened mass of sugar.

The second time around, I adjusted my method, fully dissolving the sugar first over medium-low heat. Then I boiled the sauce gently, occasionally swirling the mixture. But the mixture took longer than expected to turn caramel in color, and, after about 10 minutes of boiling, it too turned into a crystallized mess.

After two tries, I feel more determined than ever to figure this out. Do you have any ideas what might’ve gone wrong? Should I have cooked through the crystallization stage? Was the heat too high?

This recipe comes from an old family friend who makes the best caramel ever! Prep and cooking time does not include cooling and cutting time.
NOTE: THIS IS NOT SOMETHING YOU WANT TO MAKE IF IT’S WET OR RAINY OUTSIDE, AS FOR SOME REASON THE CARAMEL WON’T SET UP CORRECTLY:( — posted by Noni Suzanne

This recipe is slightly diffrent than the others here, so I decided to add it. I have not made it in a long time, so I am guessing on the times. Feel free to experiment with diffrent add-ins or decorate as desired. — posted by Sweet PQ?

The secret ingredient in this recipe will have you feeling like there’s a ton of butter and cream in there… though there’s not. Go ahead and indulge in this ooey-gooey treat! This recipe uses the microwave. If you do not have fleur de sel, simply use coarse grain salt or simply omit. — posted by Géniale Génie
