Candy Recipes

Grandma's Homemade Candy Making Recipes Are Simply The Best

You'll love Grandma's nostalgic candy recipes if you love candy and chocolate! Everybody loves candy, but only a few people have ever tasted authentic, old fashioned candies like these. These are similar to the old time candy counter candies.

The candies you buy today simply cannot compare to the real thing. Homemade candies have a totally unique texture, and a sensational melt-in-your-mouth taste that the store-bought variety can't match in a million years. Try making Grandma's vintage recipes and see for yourself.



Simple Fresh Ingredients

Old Fashioned Candy Counter and Recipes Grandma's homemade candy recipes call for simple, fresh ingredients. Why use artificial flavors when all-natural ingredients like honey, nuts, cream, and chocolate make the best flavors? And by using the common, everyday ingredients found in your kitchen, the cost is often less than store-bought varieties. The taste is better too!

Some recipes for homemade candy might call for raw, uncooked eggs or egg whites. Unfortunately, egg-related Salmonellosis infects some present-day eggs and it's no longer wise to consume raw egg products. To avoid any risk, please refer to Eggs and Salmonella for simple, easy instructions on how to adapt the vintage recipes safely.

Inexpensive And Fun

Making old time candy is inexpensive and fun. And it's certainly not complicated with these easy candy recipes. You will enjoy making your very own treats such as fudge, toffee, praline, rock candy, peanut brittle, hard candy, old fashioned candy sticks, chocolates and more!

When I was a boy, most families made their own snack food. After the evening farm chores were done, we would select a favorite candy making recipe and Mom would make a large plateful.

We all sat eating it while listening to the antics of "Fibber McGee and Molly," our favorite old-time radio program. That old tube radio would start buzzing sometimes, and it was always my job to run and give it a firm tap to make it sound okay again. We didn't want to miss the unforgettable sound of McGee opening his closet.

The homemade candy was delicious, and it greatly added to the fun of our evening. Wonderful memories were made.

How To Make Candy The Old Fashioned Way

Making candy is so very easy when you know how. Even when it doesn't turn out the mistakes are often delicious. Just follow the vintage candy making recipes and don't ever be afraid to experiment.

Why not get the whole family involved, or invite your friends over to make homemade candy? With this collection of free candy making recipes and a bit of practice, you will master the candy making basics. Try making a big plateful of nostalgic candy tonight!
