Candied
Orange Peel
Peanut
Butter Candy
Buckeyes ... These are a Christmas necessity.
They make great homemade presents!
3 lb. powdered sugar
1 lb. margarine
2 lb. creamy peanut butter
2 pkgs. borden almond bark
For this recipe, use a very large bowl. Mix all ingredients
except for the almond bark. Shape into balls the size of quarters; chill
overnight. Melt chocolate in a double boiler. Use a tooth pick to dip balls
into the chocolate; let tops uncooked so they will look like buckeyes.
This will make about 200. I normally have to double the recipe! Do not
make these if you are counting calories!!!
Candied Orange Peel ... This came from Louise Volpe . Her home page is Months of Edible Celebrations.
8 orange peels
Syrup:
1C. sugar
1/2 C. water
Put peel from 8 oranges in cold water. Bring to boiling point and cook slowly until very tender. Drain and cool in cold water. Remove membrane and soft portion. Put the peel in a syrup made from 1 cup sugar and 1/2 cup water and cook gently until syrup is evaporated and peel looks clear. Drain on wire cake cooler and dry thoroughly in air.
Peanut Butter Candy ... Easy & total time about 30 minutes.
2 C. sugar
1/2 C. sweet milk
1 C. peanut butter
In a medium saucepan, stir milk and sugar until dissolved. Cook milk and sugar for two minutes. Remove from the heat and add peanut butter. Beat until creamy. Pour onto a lightly greased platter. Cut into 12 pieces.
