You said you couldn't believe people watch your hour long videos. It's everything, your sense of humor and goofiness as well as your family and their involvement. For someone like me who has no friends or family near me or alive for that matter... it's just nice to see a happy family that loves each other and has a fun time together. HEY! I just thought of something, I haven't heard you sing for a LONG time, and as I remember, you have a Beautiful Voice! I think you should sing us a song. LOL Seriously! I remember you singing happy birthday to folks in the lives, but I haven't caught a live for a while.
@@supereasyrecipe You even sound like many people here in Newfoundland, CAnada. It's just like listening to the next door neighbor baking and cooking. I miss it very much.
I have a great idea for melting chocolate. I learned this after MAAANY YEARS. I use my 1.5qt. mini crock pot for melting chocolate. Works like a charm!
I was born in 1951. Marshmallow Fluff was around since 1917 so I never had to do without it. Whipped topping didn't come onto the market until I was 15, in 1966. I agree that they are both wonderful 👍
Just recently came across your videos. Absolutely love them I've watched a ton of your no-bake candy videos. Thank you for the information I've learned a lot from you. Can't wait to start making every one of these candies. Happy Holidays 🎄 to you and your family.
I survived the days of cool whip, marshmallow creme and jello pudding! 👍I'm an 80's child! I still love and eat those things today. Thanks for sharing all the awesome candy videos, they are helping me come up with inexpensive gift ideas. Happy Thanksgiving to you!
I have that whole set of bowls. 😅 I'm halfway prepared ❤ also i was born in 1970 so it's all the wonderful ingredients I grew up on. Staying alive 🎉❤ I had to add wow on the beautiful peppermint, I just hope mine are as good as yours. I love your channel. HAPPY HOLIDAYS 😊
Thank you for sharing your recipes with the world. However, I was wondering if there is a natural alternative to cool whip. I actually want to be around in 25 more years, so that unfortunately takes processed store stuff off the menu. I also love the lessons I learn about using a clean bowl every time. I have seen what happens when chocolate bowls get reused. I just shared the name of your channel with the internet tech I was just on the phone with. I lost you right in the middle of the recipe and had to call them. I love your recipes and I am sure she will to.❤😊
Hello! If you need a substitution for cool whip in something that can be refrigerated you of course can use stabilized whipped cream, coconut cream, whipped tofu, whipped sour cream, etc. The problem is, those aren't shelf stable for candies like the ones in her recipes that sit at room temp. But, the only thing cool whip is doing in these candy recipes is "lightening" the batters so they won't be so dense. One thing you could use to lighten it in place of cool whip that is room temperature stable is a whipped meringue made with meringue powder, water and extract. A whipped meringue made with meringue powder would lighten the batter and be stable at room temp just like whipped meringue buttercream made with meringue powder is. But you would have to gently fold the whipped meringue powder once whipped into the chocolate batter in 3 batches to keep from losing the air in it, just like when folding meringue into a cake recipe. You could also use marshmallow fluff, but that is also processed, however you could make your own marshmallow fluff.
We are frozen cool whip in cones and thought it was a real treat. One thing I do that will help when using paper is turn your pan over and fold down the paper, and make sharp creases. Then turn back over and put down your paper. Also, put a small drop of candy to hold it in place. Put some butter in your chocolate when making fudge like candy.
My gosh these all look so great and easy! I’ve done many in the past such as peppermint patties and peanut butter bars, fudge etc that are fairly easy. but I may need to try some of these as well.
I would suggest if you want to make peppermint fudge, use the Andes peppermint crunch candies instead of the mint ones. They are amazing and will give even better peppermint flavor. Thanks for your videos. I like that you experiment and show when it doesn’t quite turn out as you had hoped. That’s really life. Happy holidays!❤
I often wonder why you don't use a spatula when getting things out of a bowl or pan so you can scrap it cleaner and get more of it out of the pan. I notice you use a spoon or a fork. That's my OCD for you! LOL 🤷♀❤ OH I know why! Because you are already using the spoon or fork to stir the chocolate that you are melting... maybe that's why... I get that. Thanks so much for ALL these candy videos! I am really enjoying them. I've been following you for many many years and I have all your books. I bought your first book so long ago it was I think a red and white cover and had those plastic things on the spine! When you came out with the hard covers I gave the old original one to my daughter law.
I think Ghirardelli vs. Nestle depends on what you grew up with. I grew up with Ghirardelli & think Nestle doesn't taste as good. It's like See's vs. Whitman's vs Russel Stovers. My mom preferred Russel Stovers saying it had more butter and See's had more sugar ....dunno. I grew up preferring less sugar in my candy and baked goods. But I could see where people would prefer more sugar. And Cool Whip rocks.
And glad I haven't gotten banned 😀Of course I think and hope that I'm respectful. And remember when Christmas time was when people were kind to one another?
I just found your channel and so happy, you've giving me so many ideas for xmas thank you so much and yes the demons are busy especially as we near end times, ty so much again, can't wait to try so many of your recipes !
I think negative people just need to get something to eat. I get ouchy if I need to eat. I don't feel hunger as others do. --itching, sad, moody,tired is my signal that I am hungry. Sounds ridiculous, but that's how it works for me. I 've said numerous times,my late husband would have shoved women and children down to the floor just to get to the food when he was hungry.
I'm a Gen X survivor (1975) and I loved marshmallow cream, cool whip, and pudding. My mom used to get upset when I found the jar of marshmallow cream because I'd dip in to it 😂
I think you're funny and a cute lady good job on the baking I love to bake sometimes for Christmas holidays God Bless you and your family and have a great Thanksgiving and Christmas this year ❤
I don’t know the reason for it, but the whole generalized mode these days is a far cry from the niceties of yesteryear. It’s a darned shame, if you ask me. 😕 👍🏼 I remember!
Hi ,, can i give you some advice when you cut your paper to line the tin / dish .I find it good to fold the paper as it stace in place . Hopefully this will help you OUT . Thank you for sharing your day .😄😄😊😊😊😊👍👍👍👍
I love watching your video's, the only downside is I get cravings for chocolate😐. I am definitely a choclaholic 🤣. For the thumbnail you could have leaned the mint chip bag on the plate in the front of it.

@@saundrajohnson1571 It's her sense of humor, just makes me smile and crack up laughing. The funny things she does and says when she makes a mistake.

Cool Whip survivor here! 😃
If you squish up your parchment paper into a ball then straighten it out, it will fit into your pan much better

OMG I totally remember the peanut butter and the chocolate bar running into each other! LOL Love the old commercials.
I was born in 1959 i loved the food then and i still do
Chocolate & mint is my favorite flavor combo, the cherry choc & choc raspberry !!
Love your candy receipts. You & your husband adorable. Yummy candy look forward to watching you. God Bless have a wonderful Christmas 🎄
You sound so much like the people here in Newfoundland Canada. Its just like baking and cooking with your next door neighbor. Love it !!!!
I used all of it and loved all them I give you three 👍

My Grandma use to make a candy called divinity....it was soooo good! Would love to know if you have heard of it & be willing to make it in a video? ❤❤
Love these video's. Thank you for being my inspiration to start candy making! xoxoxo
Everything looks so yummy! 😋
Yes please on the taste test.👍🏻

Peanut butter and chocolate, I totally remember those commercials!!😊
I was just thinking you could make colored sugar and dip the cream cheese mints in there. That would be pretty and fun.
Your a very lucky guy. Wish i had a lady like yours 😮
Your candy looks good. I saw you use the infra red gun so I bought one. It's a game changer. I love it. Thanks
I agree with your ban rules! You guys are special ❤

Let's buy some candy and melt it and make some candy. Brilliant
I happen to love Ghirardelli chocolates, especially the 70% cocoa!

I survived that AND getting the cake batter spoon!

Tawra … I enjoy watching you cook . 🥰
Thanks for watching!
Yes on a taste test
I don’t know the reason for it, but the whole generalized mode these days is a far cry from the niceties of yesteryear. It’s a darned shame, if you ask me. 😕
👍🏼 I remember!
Yes to banana pudding and cool whip!!! 😂😂❤❤🍌🍌
I remember that Reese's commercial! 😂❤
Only found you a week ago. Already made some and love it
Glad you like them!
In my 70s I have eaten everything bad for you. I know I have 20 years to go and I'm still eating all the bad stuff. 😂
i survived it ,now a senior with no health issues
I survived and still love them.
Thumbs up
Also if after you cut your parchment paper you will fold and press the cut part towards the middle it will sit very nicely in your pan.

I have to wear gloves when I make anything with sugar. Because, I would lick my fingers. If I got something on them.
Ceumple up the parchment several times and it will form to any pan better.
A lot of the cool whip candy Ive seen they rolled into balls like truffles And then refrigerated.
I survived the 1900’s!
I sure did
Ball parchment paper up then straighten out & it will stay in your pan better.
👍
Remember 👍🏼
I am still here and still use coolwhip on occasion but no margarine or crisco. Have no need for those last two.
If you wet your baking dish before you put your parchment paper in--it should stick better and not move around so much.
Do you know how to do truffles?
What's the equivalent of cool whip in the uk
How about some salt flakes in top?
If you’re going to taste test chocolate, add Bissingers to the list. 👍🏻
Why don’t you make a popcorn cake?
👍💞
It's says 60 percent not 40
I survived
You tickle me so much!
Yes no time for that nonsense. You are not charging them to watch. So why are they so upset just watch someone else.
Damn…you’re a messy baker 😵💫
👍
