I have always wondered how to make these jelly candies, and now that I’ve made them I kind of wish I didn’t know how. Why, you might ask?  Because they are immensely easy, and immensely freaking amazing.  And now I have another thing I can just whip up and eat …

This post is dangerous. I’m telling you now, so consider yourself warned. You might have forgotten how freaking amazing peanut brittle is, and even if you haven’t forgotten, you haven’t tasted this.  And I speak from unfortunate experience that you simply cannot eat one piece of this brittle in one …

I need you to know that there’s no turning back after making these chocolates. You can’t expect to make them, eat them, and live your life like you did the day before.  No.  Something will happen, some sort of inexplicable shift, some sort of transformation.  You won’t be able to …
