FYI-for rum balls-nilla wafers are used.

I need a candy thermometer and went to at least 7 local stores and did not find one. I live in walnut creek california. It seems like every time i need something-i can never find it.

this might not work in my microwave. if it is not powerful enough-microwave brittle will not work. trust me-i know.

Letscook-I thought sugar was sugar. I always buy the store brand and never have any problems with any candy, cookies, etc. It is the first time i have ever heard that a brand of sugar makes a deference in a recipe.

Here is a great thing to use in making your crust. Not butter. Not shortening. Lard. My grandmother had the best pie crust in the past using lard. Flakey, tender and delicious! You professional pie bakers probably already knew this.

I need a very good one. thanks!

I need a good recipe for carmel corn. :)

Just a note on microwave peanut brittle. If your microwave is not at least a 1,000 watt oven-it wont work. Been there and done that. I cant make it this year cause i am using an old microwave-which still works-but not powerful enough for brittle.

star- about 12 miles north of st. johns or 30 mi north of lansing. my mother and a few realtives still live in michigan. i know where jackson is. :) i have lived in northern california for almost 27 yrs. consider myself a native. walnut creek here.

hey robert-can you do me a favor? can you transfer the ounces to cups? easier to figure out how much to use. thanks!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!:rolleyes:

thanks star- :) the good ole mixture in cold water method. i see you are in southern michigan. which town? native of michigan here, however i have been in california for almost 27 yrs.

It is that time of year again. Very good here at baking many things. Have a little trouble making fudge. Some recipes do not come out very good. I hate candy thermometers and have had good results in not using them in the past. I understand that boiling a mixture for about 10 min will get you to...
