BawCraftWorx

Not to toot my own horn, but, these are so awesome that every time I give them to someone I get a recipe request as soon as they run out, which takes 1/2 a day for an 8"x8" (16, 2" squares) pan and a full day for a 9"x13 pan (32, 2" squares). I have it on good authority that if you are making these ahead of time for any occasion HIDE THEM or they will be GONE come the big day. I'm giving you both recipes, lg & small :0 the directions are the same for both, so they are posted at the very bottom:)

Large Recipe for 9x 13 pan:

Wet Ingredients:
2 cups Kraft smooth peanut butter
1/4 cup butter/margarine (to grease pans)
9 cups (YES I SAID 9 cups) mini marshmallows
1 Tbsp Vanilla extract 100% pure
1 cup chocolate chippits
1 cup butterscotch chippits

Dry Ingredients:
To save time, measure all dry ingredients into the same huge bowl & mix thoroughly by hand.
3 cups rice krispies
3 cups frosted flakes
3 cups rolled oats (quick cooking NOT instant)
1 cup raisins
1 cup walnuts chopped
1 cup coconut shredded

Small recipe for the 8x8 square pan

Wet Ingredients:
1 cup kraft smooth peanut butter
3 cups mini marshmallows
1 Tsp vanilla extract 100% pure
1/2 cup butterscotch chippits
1/2 cup chocolate chippits

Dry Ingredients:
To save time, measure all dry ingredients into the same huge bowl & mix thoroughly by hand.
1 cup rice krispies
1 cup frosted flakes
1 cup rolled oats (quick cooking NOT instant)
1/2 cup raisins
1/2 cup walnuts chopped
1/2 cup coconut shredded

Directions:
1. Melt peanut butter in lg saucepan over low heat, add chippits & vanilla, blend well until melted. Add marshmallows & toss in mixture to fully coat every marshmallow. Stir constantly over low heat until everything is melted and well blended.

2. Add dry ingredients & mix constantly to evenly blend & coat everything:)

3 Press mixture into a buttered 8x8 or 9x19 baking dish. Chill in refrigerator until hardened AND HIDE IT DAMMED GOOD LADIES! Burry it under the vegetables, men NEVER go there, they are after cheese summer sausage and lunch meats. Cut into squares before serving.

Tanahmera's Apple Cinnamon Raisin Bread

BawCraftWorx

I'm just on a mission making my first bread (using a bread machine). I'll post a pic when It's done (if I have time to take a picture of it). Here's My Recipe:

Tanahmera's Apple Cinnamon Raisin Bread
This is a large (4 cup recipe). Place the following ingredients in the baking pan in order listed from top to bottom if using a machine made by citizen like the one I'm using, otherwise do it in the order suggested by the company who makes your machine....

2 tsp yeast
2 cups bread flour
2 cups whole wheat flour
1/2 tsp salt
1 1/3 tbsp brown sugar
1 tsp cinnamon powder
1/2 cup apple sauce
1 1/3 cup raisins
5 tbsp apple juice
1 cup water

Select Medium crust. Do not select the timer, just push start because this is a variety bread.
let the machine do it's magic & go about your business.

When bread is cooked (and cooled), remove from machine & cut into slices. I made it for my husband & father in law as a nice breakfast treat.

To Bake in oven:
If using machine to knead: Select Dough only. After beep sounds, remove dough.
If doing by hand, for the oven, the same order applies, Mix dry ingredients first then add fruits & wet ingredients.

Place in 9x3 bread pan, cover & leave pan in a warm place for 1 1/2-2 hours, to allow rising. An unheated oven is the perfect spot.
Set the pan over a smaller bowl/pan of hot water to quicken the rising process.
Bake in oven at 350 degrees for about 30-35 minutes until top is a light golden brown.

Do-it-Yourself Fudge Pops!

GMA Recipe: Do-it-Yourself Fudge Pops!
by Jeanne Dupuis on May 27th, 2008

Summertime is fast-approaching and, in no time, you’ll be wishing you had something cool and tasty to grab from your freezer! While I love the stuff you get from grocery and corner stores, it’s also nice to be able to make something delicious if you don’t feel like going out or even if you want to have more control over the flavor and fat content of your treats!

Good Morning America featured a couple recipes for do-it-yourself frozen fudge pops and the great thing is that, for lighter versions, fat-free half-and-half can be substituted in either recipe! Also, as I mentioned above, it’s nice to be able to control the taste of your own snacks so, again, substitutions can be made in these recipes: the cherry jam in the Chocolate Cherry Fudge Pops can be replaced with any jam. Raspberry, apricot and strawberry are nice. And peanut butter is excellent in the Chocolate Marshmallow Pops.

Serving numbers will vary depending on the size of your frozen pop molds.

Chocolate Cherry Fudge Pops (makes about 8 servings)

Ingredients
* 1 1/2 cups half-and-half
* 1 cup chocolate chips
* 1/2 cup cherry jam
* 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
* Pinch salt

Directions
In a medium saucepan over low heat, combine the half-and-half and chocolate chips. Heat, stirring constantly, until the chips are melted. Transfer the mixture to a blender, being sure to scrape the chocolate from the bottom of the pan.

Add the jam, vanilla and salt, then puree for 30 seconds, or until smooth. Divide the mixture between about 8 frozen pop molds (number will vary by size), then insert sticks according to product directions. Freeze for at least several hours.

Chocolate Marshmallow Pops (makes about 8 servings)

Ingredients
* 1/2 cup heavy cream
* 1 cup half-and-half
* 1 cup chocolate chips
* 1 cup mini marshmallows
* 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
* Pinch salt

Directions
In a medium saucepan over low heat, combine the cream, half-and-half, chocolate chips and marshmallows. Heat, stirring constantly, until the chips and marshmallows are melted.

Transfer the mixture to a blender, being sure to scrape the chocolate from the bottom of the pan.

Add the vanilla and salt, then puree for 30 seconds, or until smooth. Divide the mixture between about 8 frozen pop molds (number will vary by size), then insert sticks according to product directions. Freeze for at least several hours.

Ginger And Cherry Fudge Recipe

BawCraftWorx

This yummy fudge is a fail-safe recipe perfected by CARNATION - they taste as good as they look!

Ingredients:
* 397g can CARNATION Condensed Milk
* 150ml (¼ pt) milk
* 450g (1lb) demerara sugar
* 115g (4oz) butter
* 150g (5 ¼ oz) glace cherries, halved
* 55g (2oz) stem ginger, chopped

Directions:
# 1 Grease and base line a 20cm (8in) square tin with baking parchment.

# 2 Heat the milk, sugar and butter in a large, non-stick saucepan over a low heat, stirring until the sugar dissolves completely. Bring to the boil and simmer over a low heat for 10-15 minutes, stirring continuously and scraping the base of the pan. Test the fudge at intervals by dropping a little of the mixture into ice-cold water. Press the blob between your fingers (carefully as it will be very hot!). If a soft ball forms then it's ready to beat.

# 3 Remove from the heat, cool slightly and beat the fudge until thick and grainy. This usually takes about 10 minutes - see if you can find a couple of eager helpers.

# 4 Gently stir in the remaining ingredients. Pour into the prepared tin and leave to cool before cutting into squares.

TIPS: Once you've mastered the original recipe, try these versions - or get creative and invent your own!

* Chocolate - melt 150g (5 ¼ oz) plain chocolate and stir through before beating the fudge.
* Rum and raisin - stir through a good dash of rum and 115g (4oz) chopped raisins.
* Toasted pecan and cinnamon - toast a large handful of chopped pecan nuts in a dry pan with a sprinkling of cinnamon until the nuts start to smell aromatic. Set aside to cool slightly then stir through the fudge mixture at the end of beating.
* Confectionery fudge - chop up your favourite chocolate such as KitKat or Munchies and stir through cooled beaten fudge.

LUNATIC FUDGE RECIPE

BawCraftWorx

LUNATIC FUDGE RECIPE--Can Be Used For Candy Apples
--------------------
(c) 1997 T. Skaarup. Original recipe. May be copied without modification. All rights reserved.)

1/4 cup Butter or Margarine (1/2 stick, chilled)
2 1/2 cup Sugar
2/3 cup Evaporated Milk (or Small 5 oz can)
10-12 oz Semi-Sweet Chocolate Chips -or-
Milk Chocolate Chips -or-
Chocolate Mint Chips -or-
White Chips -or-
Peanut Butter Chips -or-
Butterscotch Chips (1 package)
6-7 oz Marshmallow Creme or Marshmallow Fluff
(may substitute 2 cups of mini-marshmallows)
1 cup Walnuts or Pecans (chopped)
1 tsp Vanilla Extract

Directions:

Line a 9" x 9" pan with aluminum foil and set aside.

Place flavor chips, vanilla, and nuts into a 3-quart saucepan or Pyrex glass dish and set aside. Set butter aside to
warm. Heat milk at Medium setting until warm then add sugar. Bring to a rolling boil (Medium-High) while stirring
constantly with a wooden spoon. Add marshmallow creme. Bring back to a boil for [5] full minutes by the clock
(start once the boil resumes). Use the lowest flame possible to keep the rolling boil.

The mixture will start to turn brown during the boil. If you get brown flakes in the mixture then turn down the heat a
little.

Remove from heat and add the butter. Mix until butter is melted then pour hot mixture over chips, vanilla, and nuts
without scraping the sides of the hot saucepan. Mix thoroughly and pour into prepared pan. Cool at room
temperature. Remove from pan, remove foil, cut into squares.

*NOTE: If you want Peanut Butter Fudge but don't want/have peanut butter flavored chips, use 1 cup of real peanut
butter (Skippy or Jif and reduce the butter to 1/8 cup (1/4 stick).

MORE: (From my message board-Helen-PA): I use the Nestles caramel loaf, then dip in mini marshmallows or others & finish w/honey crushed nut topping, or english toffee, mini choc. milk, dark or white wafers, etc. I charge $12.00 for each apple right now.

Chocolate Royal Apples

BawCraftWorx

(Makes 12-20 apples)

Prepare the caramel apples as above - or use your own caramel mix. Roll the warm caramel apples in chopped peanuts or cashews or mini-marshmallows or Rice Krispies or Gummi-Bears or whatever... Chill. Then...
Prepare a single batch of Lunatic Fudge (using Semi-Sweet Chocolate or Milk Chocolate Chips). Don't cast the fudge into a pan but instead keep the mixture warm (Low or Med-Low heat) then dip the chilled apples into the chocolate fudge and let cool on waxed paper. Alternatively, you can use a wooden spoon to "dribble" the hot chocolate fudge over the apples for a dramatic effect.

You can make more Royal Apples since you will only need to coat the apples once in the caramel mix, then roll into the nuts.

Massively good. Pour any remaining Lunatic Fudge into a small pan or cup-cake tins.

LUNATIC FUDGE - Quick and easy way to make Dark, Medium, and Light Chocolate Fudge, Vanilla Fudge, Peanut Butter Fudge, Butterscotch Fudge, or just about any other flavor of which you can think.

Quick Candy Apple Slices

BawCraftWorx

- You will need Granny Smith or Jonathan Apples for this recipe - you really need a TART apple to counter the SWEETNESS of this...

1 can Eagle Brand Sweetened Condensed Milk
1 stick Butter
1 lb Caramel Loaf

To caramel - add butter - then add can milk... put in microwave for several minutes - be careful not to scorch... I pull mine out and stir it every so often.

The nice thing about this is that you can use it and then keep the leftovers in the frig and just reheat in microwave - it still is as fresh as when you made it. The butter helps with this.

ENJOY - I usually slice my apple - however, we have been known to drizzle this over popcorn - and have cream cheese on the side to serve with it. It is delicious but VERY RICH!!!!
