Thanks for sharing the recipes. I want to make the saltine toffee. I ate some of that for the 1st time last Christmas or the Christmas before that. It's so good. Maybe I will make it while visiting my family at Christmas.

Thanks for the great ideas! I'm definitely trying the White Trash....what does that say about me?

Thank you for the recipes, they all look great. I saw Trisha Yearwood make the saltine toffee recently, and I had never heard of it.

Also saw Trisha making the saltine toffee a few years ago & have made them several times & can not believe how good they are! No one can believe that they are made with saltine crackers! After I get mine out of the freezer, I break them up in different sizes and put them in zip lock bags.

I have been making Alton Brown's "White Trash" also for a couple of years now & it is usually the first of all the candy to go! I get requests to bring it to family events around Christmas time!

Thank you so much for these! There are few I want to try. We made marshmallows in HS cooking class. I'd forgotten all about it.

Anyone have a smooth melt in your mouth fudge recipe? It would be greatly appreciated. Thank you.

I have not made saltine toffee for many years. You have motivated me. Thank you.

This recipe was shared on this bulletin but I did not include the author. This is very good.

Easy recipe....crockpot on low...
2lbs lightly salted dry roasted peanuts....
16 oz bag of Milk Chocolate morsels;
1 block of Bakers German Sweet Chocolate;
and 1 block of Almond bark.
Place all together in the crock pot than go about your business for approximately 3 hrs.
Turn crock pot on low.
I than spoon out on wax paper and let cool.
I have also seen people place them in the mini cupcake liners.
These are better than chocolate covered peanuts you get in the store.

I, personally, am not real fond of the grainy-type of fudge, unless the ingredients compensate for it...ha!

You may have seen this recipe floating around out there. It's been on these boards before, I know... It's got a smooth texture and rich flavor. I've been making it about 15 years now, among a few other recipes I use.

This recipe is SO EASY and makes a 9 x 13-inch pan full, but you can 1/2 it to make less.

Here it is, in case you haven't seen it:

Creamy Chocolate Fudge Creamy Chocolate Fudge (Gloria)


1 (11oz.) pkg. semi-sweet chocolate morsels
1 (11oz.) pkg. milk chocolate morsels
2 cans Sweetened Condensed Milk (not evaporated)
1 teaspoon salt
1-1/2 teaspoons vanilla
1 cup (or more) chopped nuts, if desired

Put all morsels, milk, and salt into a 3-quart saucepan and cook on medium heat, stirring constantly. After the chocolate is completely melted, remove from heat.

Stir in vanilla and nuts (optional).

Pour the mixture into a waxed paper lined 9"x13" pan.

Cool in refrigerator, then slice into squares. ENJOY!!

I'm glad you all liked the recipes! If you try them, let me know how you liked them.

BTW, the recipe for Cranberry Gumdrops originally came from Taste of Home, I believe. I never mentioned that above.

Before I moved to my home now, I was very much into pet therapy animals in the Hospice that I worked in, and became very close with a puppy doodles that was part of the Delta Society, and her owner raised pups to become service dogs, especially for the deaf.....Well, every time Glade would come in for visits, I fed her saltine crackers, and she always looked for me and always came right to me....Well, she told me that I created a major problem, in that every time she made the saltine recipe......called Bark Bark fudge.....gifts from and to puppy owners...... she said she had to put Glade out, as when she heard the saltine cracker wrappers, she was there at the ready to have saltine crackers, that I had her spoiled on..........

Thanks for the recipes. I have heard of several of them and have a friend that made one of them but it didn't turn out to well

But we ate it anyway!
