In response to the request for no-cook candy recipes, I have the following
tried and true recipes to offer. They do take heating of the chocolate and
wax, but that is all. Also when using chocolate, I try to buy the candy
after Christmas, Valentine's Day, and Easter when they have all the
chocolate on half-price and freeze it for use at Christmas time.
Coconut Bonbons
1 can Eagle Brand sweetened condensed milk
2 cubes butter softened
2 lb. powdered sugar
3-1/2 oz. angel flake coconut
2 cups chopped nuts
1 tsp. vanilla
1/8 tsp salt
Mix together all ingredients and chill. Shape into balls and refrigerate.
Dip balls in chocolate mixture and put on wax paper until hardened.
CHOCOLATE MIXTURE: melt in double boiler 12 oz. chocolate chips and 1/3
bar parafin.
To the above I have added 1/2 lb. finely chopped dates. I have also added
finely chopped candy cherries.

Peanut Butter Cups
1/3 cup creamy peanut butter
1/3 cup powdered sugar
1 tsp vanilla
Blend all of the above and chill. Use about 1/2 tsp. and roll into ball, put
in candy paper cup.
8 oz. almond bark (candy quik) white
1/2 cup creamy peanut butter
3/4 cup chocolate chips
Melt above together over medium heat stirring constantly. Spoon into cups
over the peanut butter balls to fill cups.
You could make bigger cups like the Reese's Peanut Butter cups and you could
also use the chunky peanut butter.

1 large pkg. coconut
1 can Eagle Brand condensed milk

about 2 hours. Dip in melted (double boiler) chips and parafin. Cool on

Peanut Butter Bonbons
1 cube butter softened
1 lb. powdered sugar
2 cups crunchy peanut butter
2-1/2 cups Rice Krispies
1 tsp vanilla
Mix together, shape into balls, chill. You do have to work at getting this
mixture to stick together, so handle carefully. Dip in chocolate mixture,
chill.
CHOCOLATE MIXTURE: Melt in double boiler 1 8 oz. Hershey bar or 8 oz.
Hershey kisses, 1 6 oz. pkg. semi-sweet chocolate chips, and 1/4 bar
parafin.

Rocky Road Candy
1 cup chocolate chips
1 cup butterscotch chips
Melt above in double boiler. When melted add 1 can Eagle Brand condensed
milk. Heat thoroughly.
ADD:
2 cups nuts
2 cups mini marshmellows
Pour into buttered 13 x 9 pan. Chill.
You could come up with many different variations on the above nuts and
marshmellows. I have used candied fruit and nuts.

I have just lost 135-1/2 lbs. over the past 10 months and after typing these
recipes and reading all the fattening calories, I really don't think I will
be making these again in the near future. But those of you who can handle
the calories. Happy Calories!
