Will you share your sweets recipes with me please

[Eddas]

I want to make some homemade sweets, things like truffles, mint creams, fudge. But I don't have any recipes and wondered if the power of mn could help Anything nice and simple for a not-so-great cook but willing to try

I have found a recipe for coconut ice which looks simple so will be trying that out.

Thank you

ooo i'm interested in responses to this, keep meaning to search for the mn cranberry fudge stuff. Also,(hope you don't mind eddas!)can anyone suggest containers for gifts of said homemade goodies?

no feel free to ask things

I was going to use cellophane and ribbon or maybe old jars with a bit of material and ribbon not sure. Need recipes first

rocky road

rocky road recipe

choc melts - 2 pkts - white/dark/milk - whatever you like ( 375g pkts) could use cooking choc
2pkts marshmallows cut in half
jellies or gummy sweets
coconut
nuts ( but not if they are for presents)

Melt the choc
lay the sweets in a slice tine
pour the choc over and refrigerate until sets

cut into squares

white choc cranberry fudge

3 375g pkts of white choc melts (or cooking choc)
2 tins - 395g sweetened condensed milk
3/4 cup icing sugar - have to check this
1 cup chopped dried cranberries
(I also put in sultanas and would do some sort of nut if I knew the person did not have a nut allergy)

1. In a double boiler ( I just use saucepan inside another that has boiling water in it ) over a low heat - melt and mix the sweetened condensed milk and the white choc melts
2. when melted and thick, remove from the heat, add the icing sugar and the friut/nuts.
3. pour into a baking paper lined slice tray.

1. Chill in the fridge until set ( I leav emine over night)

1. CUt into fingers/squares. Arrange in a bowl/mug/dish etc. I then cover it with cellophane. I ahve also wrapped the fingers in cellophane individually.

i got some seconds pottery dishes from the markets or some second hand nice bowls from the charity shop. Wrapped it up in cellophane. For some of the presents I found a very nice but cheap christmas tree bauble and put that on too.

I am going to try and make vanilla truffles this year - not sure how it will go.

I used the cranberry recipe for my dd1's teachers and I made enough for five decent sized portions.

thanks for those eidsvold. Sounds simple enough

Does anyone have anymore please?

I want to make fudge for the teachers this year...or may buy some and cut it up roughly knowing me.
Any recipes for chocolate fudge,I know ds' teacher loves chocolate.

thanks, one to think about. Would need a recipe though

Think i'll go to the library and see what I can rake up

Tablet this is just one recipe I use. They are all similar wherever you look. It should turn out looking similar to Fudge, but harder. And more delicious

re: containers for goodies
Au natural have gift tins for £1-£2. they aren't the nicest patterns but can be dolled up with ribbon or what not.
