Wow! Just last night my grandson asked if I had a recipe for Hard Rock Candy. I know I did but couldn't remember which cookbook. You sure made it easier.

[@bdianes6339]

GREAT JOB 👏 👏 YOU MADE IT LOOK SO EASY 😁😁 “”THANK YOU”” FOR SHARING YOUR DELICIOUS RECIPES & ALL OF THE HARD WORK OF PRODUCING THIS TUTORIAL VIDEO ✔️

[@ChefKristiThymetoCook]

You are so welcome! Thank you for watching and leaving me such a kind comment. Merry Christmas!

[@kathyrama4570]

Oh, I remember so many ladies making the hard candy when I was growing up in WV. That is one of my favorite Christmas candies, that and the Potato Candy. Thanks!!!!!

[@ChefKristiThymetoCook]

It’s actually been a few years since I’ve made the hard candy. I used to make it every year and made a bunch of flavors. Thank you Kathy! Merry Christmas!

I grew up in WV too… mom made a bunch of different cookies and would fill the big tin container up.. she also made cow patties.. which was really good too

@@kathyrama4570 oh I’m sorry about your loss.. bless your heart… what did she put in her cow patties?

[@kathyrama4570]

@@nicopico5537 butter, sugar, evaporated milk, Pnut butter and oats. Me and my brother loved them. She always made Egg custard at Christmas time, too. My Mom didn't bake, she only baked chocolate cake. I, however, love to bake cakes and cookies. Do you still live in WV? I haven't been back since 1998. All my family but a couple of cousins that I am not close to have passed. I am from Logan County.

These all look SOOO DELICIOUS!!! I want to try Them All. The last One if We would add some peanuts to it reminds Me of “Cracker Jacks.” I don’t know if You are old enough to remember Them but I think that They still maybe sold. LOL!!! It was my Favorite as a Child. Thank You for sharing Your talents with Us. Bless You and Your Family. HAPPY HOLIDAYS!!!😊❤️✝️🎅🏼🎄☃️🤶🏻🛍👍🏼👋🏼

@@ChefKristiThymetoCook Thank You very Much.

What a great idea to add peanuts, you could even put a small prize in each bag like the old cracker jacks. I love the idea of the puffed corn, so you don’t get any kernels in your teeth. Can’t wait to try this!

I absolutely love your measuring cups! Are they a real set or just what you use? If so, where did you get them if you don't mind me asking? Thank you for sharing these yummy treats!

@@1105pitbull honestly I like the Almond Bark from Aldi.

How did you know I needed some new recipes for Christmas gift bags this year? I do make toffee every year, but a few of these I’ve never made before. I don’t think I’ve seen the puffed corn at the store though. Thanks for the recipes.

I’m so glad to give you some new recipes for gift bags. I get the butter puff at Aldi but sometimes you can find it at Walmart. Thank you for watching! Merry Christmas!

@@ChefKristiThymetoCook thanks for replying to Diane’s comment I had the same question! I love Aldi! I think I’ll be making a trip just for this one recipe. They have good prices on butter, coffee creamer, and also some cute home decor…but I love caramel popcorn…and it’s always the first to go in the trio of popcorn we buy for Christmas…I think I will try this for church it looks amazing!

And suggestions for corn syrup alternatives, please?

[@ChefKristiThymetoCook]

You can try honey or golden syrup.

[@amumof2347]

Love all the treats. However, most of my family are not white chocolate fans. Does anyone know if peanut butter [or other nut butters like hazelnut, cashew, sunflow] can be added to the white chocolate for some of these recipes? If so, how much? TYIA

[@ChefKristiThymetoCook]

Thank you for watching. You definitely don’t have to use white chocolate just substitute it for milk or dark chocolate.

[@christhompson723]

Hello 👋 May i ask what tool you were using to cut up the almonds for the toffee?

[@ChefKristiThymetoCook]

I was using a chopper. I’ve had it for probably 30 years. 😂

[@christhompson723]

@ChefKristiThymetoCook Can you point me in the direction of where I could purchase one like it? Chopping almonds is not an easy thing and your chopper made it look easy! 😊
