I have Mike's newsletter service, and he put in the Oct. newsletter something about "ask me about Candy Making and Cookie shows" Now what does he mean by that? :confused: I can hear it now..."Hey Amanda, I'd love to know what candy you'll teach at a show?" me: "Huh?!"
 
I'm not Mike, but I can tell you that a super simple candy making idea is the 2 ingredient fudge... I use 1/2 can of chocolate frosting and a package of chocolate chips. Melt in the microcooker and load into the EAD with the open star tip. Pipe onto parchment paper and let it cool/set. Instant bite-size fudge for the holidays!

You could always ask him too, since he did tell you to ask him about it. ;)
 
There is the new peppermint cookie recipe that is for the fall. Also, in the Holiday cookbook, there is a recipe for Chocolate Praline Toffee Crisps or the Brownie lollipops that you could probably do at shows.
 
We have the choc. dipped pretzels, truffles, etc. There are lots of candy & cookie recipes in the cookbooks. I'm sure that is all he was talking about. That's how I took it & will offer if I have any takers.

I just checked out the Oct. CN (using the cheat method) and saw some great ideas to run with when people ask. Okay, so now I'm glad he put that in. :)
 
Also, the new Homemade for the Holidays has candy and cookie recipes. It's in the October CN.
 
I can't wait for them to post the holiday recipes! I just checked the Oct CN and they look pretty good.
