Experienced candy makers will enjoy the challenge of making their own marshmallows, which are surprisingly straightforward and fun to make. Make sure to use a candy thermometer for best results. The marshmallows make a fabulous gift to add to hot chocolate or to make Gourmet S'mores. (see below)
These buttery, ultrathin, crisp cookies are so delicious that you will want to snack on them before they are even iced and filled.
Crunchy on the outside, these cookies pack a surprise centre of a chocolate macaroon candy from Neilson. You will need one 145 g package, or buy 1 cup (250 mL) at the bulk food store.
Just a bite of these truffles sweeps you away to tropical flavours. For simple rum truffles, omit the coating and roll the centres in cocoa powder. Use good-quality chocolate, such as Lindt or Callebaut.
