A simple, sweet treat made in a few minutes. Ingredients are cacao powder, coconut oil, agave nectar, coconut spread and large shredded coconut.
back when i was a kid my brother and i got this candy from planters all the time. it came in an orange bag that had a sticker with the planters peanut man on the back so you could reseal the bag. The candy was in the shape of peanuts and was made out of wafers (like the sugar wafers) and was filled with peanut butter from what i could remember. they almost looked like a cross between nutter butter and circus peanuts. If anyone remembers them do you know where i can still get them?
My family has been making this candy for at least 60 years -probably longer. It is made with a small potato, powdered sugar & peanut butter.
My grandma made cream candy in the winter. She insisted it had to be made in a copper kettle and the temperature had to be around 30 degrees. She cooked her candy and cooled it outside. The temperature was critical to proper cooling speed. You needed to store the candy to mellow it. When finished it had the texture of a butter mint. Unfortunately that is all I remember.
Every time I have had had candy that someone has made at home it is the best stuff i have ever tasted. I don’t think it is chocolate, but people make them decorative, with different colors and shapes. They are melty and sweet and have the texture of chocolate. It’s not marzipan or chocolate though. Does anyone know what i am talking about? I know that is not a lot to go on, but i have never had this at a store only when people make it at home, and I would like the recipe.
the last person i can remember making it was my ex’s mother so i cant call and ask.
