Re: Favorite Candy

"getting" old is good Mike. When you stop getting old you've got a problem.

I ordered 5# of GOOD dark baking chocolate yesterday. It is supposed to be one of the 3 best brands for tempering. I am going to make some chocolate covered marshmallows, mounds, almond joys, and fruit. I have never tempered chocolate before so it will be a learning experience. If it is a success I will post some pictures.

Thrifty is the BEST!! I have some in the freezer right now.

It's funny, when Rite Aid bought out Thrifty Drug Stores they changed the name on everything except the ice cream. It's still the same... except the price, but it's still not too expensive. They didn't mess with a good thing.

Re: Favorite Candy

Many yrs ago Mom and Dad took Granny to Switzerland, and a bunch other of them foreign places..
They brought back some real live swiss chocolate...I'll have to say , for chocolate, that's probably the best I've ever ate...it was soooooo good..
And I'm with Leon, butterfinger Icecream is great..
And a fresh butterfinger is great by itself, but if the get hard they're no longer good to me

Well, I tempered a little bit of my chocolate today and made a few Chocolate covered marshmallows, cherries, and peanut clusters. Hard to believe but only one of the peanut clusters made it to the picture stage.... ... (my wife found them)...

This was just a test and I thought they came out pretty good. I will have to dip the cherries twice to keep them from leaking the syrup from the pin holes.

Re: Favorite Candy

Recent trip to WM. They're not so popular here. The rest of the shelves look like they had been ransacked, or that Paul had been there... sorry man, jk ; ) Now, for those of you who are missing their zero bars... Let me know what you need: "We are the dealers, we'll give you everything you need."
