I have made the microwave peanut brittle, it is good, but you have to adjust the salt to your taste, I guess you have to do this with anything though.

If you bake with your kids they will have a lifetime of memories to pass on and I am sure they will continue the tradition with their kids, they can always come to your house and do this once a year or you can go to theirs, that way they are stuck with the mess, lol.

Baking and cooking is a wonderful way to bond with your child, I have a four year old who loves to participate in any type of cooking that I am doing. She does just about anything that I do. I use this opportunity to show her how to count, whether it is three eggs or 1 cup, she is getting the hang of it even at a young age.

I encourage you to continue to do this type of activities with your children and make sure that you help them or they help you when it comes to clean up time. LOL

Sounds like you really enjoy cooking, how many children do you have crackerjack? Just think of all the great memories you are building in the minds of your children. You mentioned your mother in law baking, she sounds like a great inspiration to you also. It is so wonderful to have an inlaw that you can truly get along with and spend quality time with, what a great example you are setting for you kids. Great job.

I am still stuck on the easy old “no bake” cookie, easy to make and everyone loves them. I recently had a variation at work that had raisins and nuts in it, it was actually pretty good, I am gonna try it with just the raisins, fits my taste more.

No matter what you create, your kids will always remember food and the smells and tastes and hopefully will carry that on. Good i just read about your peanut brittle recipe that's my FAVORITE of all time! i love peanut brittle bad for teeth and tummy if you eat too much but so worth it. I'm still wrestling my mother for that taffy recipe darn it. I know your daughter w ould love to make that with you. she's at the age now where she can pull and you can slather her hands with butter and pull and cut and of course eat Smile

hey guys did any of you get any popcorn balls yet this year .my kids dont like them . I keep telling them back in the older days you were lucky to get a peice of fruit and home made gifts in your stocking .they take for granted what they have compared to how bad it really could be.

1 teaspoon vanilla extract
1/4 teaspoon almond extract, optional
4 ounces semisweet chocolate
2 tablespoons butter
1/3 cup chopped blanched almonds
PREPARATION:
A food processor makes beating easy.
Beat 1/2 cup butter with flour, cornstarch, sugar, ground almonds, and vanilla. When dough begins to clump, take it up and shape into a cylinder. Divide dough into 4 equal portions.
pinch and press each portion into a 12-14 inch rope ,about 1/2 -3/4 inches in diameter, gentley roll on smooth surface to smooth out wrinkles and cracks.cut each rope into 2 in legnths and place on ungreased baking sheet. preheat oven @350 and bake for 18-20 minutes or until golden bottoms and cool on wire rack.
