A Holiday Gift -Easter candies

[Guest guest]

In all my years of SCD I never had a candy as good as this one!

If you love Butterfingers (in the U.S.) and Crispy Crunch (in Canada)

you and your picky kids will adore this!

I asked Lass, co-author of Grain-Free Gourmet to share this

recipe from out Gut Friendly Gourmet SCD Cooking Classes with you in

time for the holidays. Note it is copyrighted.

Easter Candies (Makes 20 to 24 candies)

Filling

_ cup peanut butter

2 Tbsp butter, melted

4 Tbsp honey

Thoroughly combine all of the filling ingredients in a bowl.

Spread the peanut-butter mixture _-inch thick onto a

parchment-paper-lined cookie sheet.

Toffee coating

1 cup honey

1 cup cashew, almond or hazelnut butter

2 Tbsp butter

Boil honey until it reaches 300°F.

With the honey still on the hot burner, add the butter and nut butter.

Combine thoroughly.

Assembly

Working quickly, completely cover the peanut butter with the toffee. If

the toffee becomes too stiff, reheat it until it is fluid enough to

work with.

Wait until the candy sets, but is still soft enough to cut. Using a

pizza cutter, cut the candy into small squares.

Put the candy in the fridge until it hardens.

Once the candies have hardened, you can wrap them in plastic wrap and

put them in Easter baskets or hide them.

This was such a perfect candy, I would not encourage substitutions but do what

you have

to and report back to sweet tooth headquarters. This candy is almost a good

(bad) as the

stuff we gave up!

Kelli,

I imagine that it would taste fine.

I'd use less though. Start with 1TBL for each part and see how it goes.

Coconut oil seems to make things " wetter " than butter.
