Christmas Crack

I bought this on a whim and decided I needed to do something with it.  Then I found a recipe for Christmas Crack that I decided to beef up.

Christmas Crack

Ingredients:

1 12.8 ounce box Rice Chex cereal

1 12 ounce box Golden Grahams cereal

1 cup shredded coconut

1/2 cup slivered almonds (optional)

1 1/2 cups butter

2 cups sugar

One bag Dream Bar mix Ins or 1 cup chocolate chips, M&Ms, and Peanut butter chips

Mix the cereals, coconut, and almonds together in a big bowl.  In a medium sized saucepan mix the butter, sugar, and corn syrup together.  Stir constantly over medium heat until it comes to Soft Ball stage.

Pour onto the cereal.  Give it a seconds to cool and then add in the bag of chocolate.  Mix in gently and pour out onto 2 greased cookie sheets to cool. Store in airtight containers.  

Homemade Gummy Candies... the Bad Kind

We had a fun time making gummies together the other day.  Its hard to find a recipe that is not healthy so here you go... 

You need:

2 packets of unflavored gelatin

1 big box of jello (any flavor)

1/2 cup cold water

1/4 cup corn syrup

(We did two batches)

First stir the corn syrup into the cold water.  When it looks well blended like this:

add the two packets of gelatin and the box of jello.

Stir until clear like above, not below.

Cook on medium low for about 10 minutes.  If it still isn't as well blended as you would like then pour it into a tall heat proof cup and let sit.

Then spoon off the top layer.

Then pour into any molds you like.

Be careful not to over fill.  It takes a few hours to set up.

Then enjoy!
