Charleston Chews are best candy.

Perhaps I'm a masochist...

Also anything absolutely doused in Li Hing powder.

For those in the New England area that happens to have a Friendly's near by. Head to one soon as possible. I been hearing that a lot of their locations has been closing. If you like their ice cream, try to go to it as quick as possible before their brand is done for.

I'm resurrecting this thread to sperg about some organic jelly beans I got on sale at a natural grocery store.

Ahhh these taste so good I need to buy more of these! These totally blow Jelly Belly out of the water!

Yummy Earth makes the best organic candy evr.

Here are some crullers I made. It's just a basic choux pastry, but they tasted really good. Here's the recipe for about two dozen crullers.

¾ cup 2% milk
¾ cup water 1/2 cup
2 Tbsp unsalted butter
2 tsp sugar
½ tsp salt
1 ⅔ cup all-purpose flour, sifted
5 large eggs at room temperature
Vegetable oil
A pinch of cinnamon

Bring the milk, water, butter, sugar and salt up to a full simmer over medium high heat. Reduce the heat to low and stir in the flour with a wooden spoon, stirring vigorously until the dough “cleans” the sides of the pot (no longer sticks). Scrape this mixture into a large bowl and beat on medium speed for a minute or 2 to cool it a little.
Break two eggs into a small dish and whisk them a little. Add these to the flour mixture while and mix until blended. Add the remaining 3 eggs one at a time and mixing well after each addition. You will be able to tell when it's ready, the batter changes.
Fill a pot with oil so that it is about 2-inches deep, but comes up to only a third the height of the pot. Heat this to 350 F.
Fill a piping bag fitted with a large star tip with the choux paste. Pipe circles on small pieces of lightly greased parchment paper and gently slide them into the oil trying not to splash, removing the paper. You can also flip the piped crullers onto a slotted spoon and lower them into the oil. This helps maintain the shape.
Cook the crullers for about 5 minutes, turning them halfway through cooking. Lift the crullers out with a slotted spoon or straining spoon and place them on a paper towel lined plate to cool. Dust with powdered sugar and serve. They're best while still warm, they can get soggy quickly.

Nothing beats a good homemade cookie or scone. I like to swap honey instead of sugar and it makes them wonderfully moist. (Also i have to justify having bees somehow!)

How much honey do you use as a substitute? Or is it just kind of what seems right?
Also, speaking of honey, medovik is a fantastic honey cake from Russia. I haven't made it yet, but I plan to.

Spoiler: cake

Flødeboller (a Danish treat). They are the same as Scottish Tea Cakes... only a bit smaller. This is some pictures from a course I took (some time ago) on how to make them.




Two words: yum, yum!
I don't remember anything about how I did this,
other than you have to have a sugar thermometer, and a normal one, or else you'll fuck it right up

You forgot the best part. These used to be called "Negro kisses" and not even that long ago.

Same here. My grandma still calls them that (also still calls blacks negroes), so does my mom, so does anyone of my age range (90s kids), me included. I think i've never even heard anyone calling them by their new and approved designation, "foam kisses", IRL .

The most well-known brand in Germany:

As far as candy goes, I’m big on gummy worms and jelly beans. If I want chocolate can’t go wrong with good old Reese’s.

When it comes to dessert, I’m a total sucker for cheesecake. Love tiramisu as well.

 

[Valstrax]

There's a dessert cafe in Kanata that I've been wanting to visit for a while but never got the chance to, any suggestions for what I could order?

 

[Milkmaid Man]

I've lately been working on baking my own cookies lately. I've got chocolate chip down and am working on oatmeal raisin and some combination of chocolate and peanut butter so that I can sell them for more cash on the side.

well its not that easy in germany. half call them negerküsse while the other half calls them Mohrenköpfe.
Some strange people from the south call them Korsen as a more political correct version of Mohrenköpfe (i like educated racism, not everybody knows that corsica has a nigger head on their flag)

You are, of course, correct. I am from the big city so the rest of Germany pretty much does not exist for me, totally forgot about them being called Mohrenköpfe (Moor's Heads in english) by some folks. Korsen is completely new to me.

The big city with all the politicians?

Korsen was new to me too till i heared it in southern germany and the name was just to perfect, i dont know who came up with it but he deserves a racism award.

I'm a dumb fuck who yearns for the things I grew up on, so I have to pay out the ass on shipping for it. I just ordered a box of cadbury cherry ripes and the shipping is costing twice as much as the actual bars.

Yesterday I was with my best friend and he had leftover strawberry shortcake that his mom bought, but he doesn't like fruit, so instead of manning up and actually eating it like a normal person, he picks off the fruit and eats around the bits that have strawberry sauce on them, Food autism is an epidemic, folks.
