For some time now I have been contemplating making my children some homemade candy. In my search, I was able to find a few appealing recipes on Pintrest and had filed them away for "later".
Since time is a commodity for me, I have this rule with recipes...if they do not involve three ingredients or less, I tend to either ignore them or put them in the back (waaay back) burner. Well, a few days ago, my very cool neighbor mentioned that she recently made some good candy for her daughters using honey, peanut butter and vanilla. My interested was piqued at the short ingredients list and I quickly asked her to send me the recipe. Fast forward and in short order I had some really happy children in my home. It was super easy, delicious and so gratifying to know it had REAL wholesome ingredients. With candy this good you don't mind them having a treat once in a while.
I am certain this recipe can be tweeked in so many ways. In fact, I will be making more soon and I am already thinking of how I can make this taste like salt water toffee (which I love!). Hmmm.
Below is the recipe as it was emailed to me. I am not sure what blog my neighbor got the recipe from as I received it from her in text form . Once I find out I will include it on this post. For now, it should be noted that the cookbook Grain Free Gourmet is mentioned as inspiration for the recipe.
I altered a few things which are noted in red. I sure hope you try it for your little ones or yourself and let me know how you like it.
