Making candy can be a admittedly fun activity. And the results are so worth the effort. Whether for a special opening or just for the delight of it, turning out your own candy is very rewarding. Here is a great recipe for chocolate candy--my favorite! These yummy Mint Chocolate Truffles are from a recipe I got years ago from a Cooking Light magazine.

Homemade Chocolate Candy Recipes

1/3 cup semisweet mint-chocolate chips
4-oz Neufchatel cheese, softened
16-oz pkg powdered sugar, sifted
1/4 cup unsweetened cocoa
1/4 cup sifted powdered sugar
2 tbsps semisweet mint-chocolate chips

Place the 1/3 cup mint-chocolate chips in a microwave safe medium to large bowl. Microwave on high for 1 minuscule or until the chips are almost melted. Stir until smooth. Set aside to cool.

When chocolate is cooled, add the Neufchatel cheese and beat at medium speed of an electric mixer until smooth. Add the powdered sugar to the mixture and beat until well blended. Press the mixture into a 6-inch square on heavy-duty plastic wrap and cover with added plastic wrap. Chill at least one hour. Remove the top sheet of plastic wrap and cut truffle into 48 squares. Roll each square into a small ball and place on waxed paper. Roll half the balls in the unsweetened cocoa and the other half in the powdered sugar. Place the 2 tablespoons of the mint-chocolate chips into a heavy-duty zip-top plastic bag. Microwave on high 1 minuscule or until the chips are softened. Knead the bag until the chips are smooth. Make a tiny snip in one lowest angle of the bag. Drizzle chocolate over the balls that have been rolled in cocoa. Serve at room temperature.

Note: I got this recipe from Cooking Light in 1999.

Enjoy!

How to Make Raw Flax Seed Crackers - Free Raw recipe

If you've been wondering how to make raw flax seed crackers or just seeing for a good basic easy, healthy raw flax seed cracker recipe then I'll make it easy for you. As a nurse, amateur chef and raw foodist - vegan I've been development raw food recipes for a decade and have made many distinct types of flax seed cracker recipes. I'm, going to show you the simplest and fastest way to make flax seed crackers.

There are many distinct types of raw food flax seed cracker recipes but beginning with something straightforward and then adding spices or ingredients can make it much more flavorful.

Homemade Chocolate Candy Recipes

Flax seed crackers are dehydrated crackers. Commonly a dehydrator is needed, although you can try to make them in an oven and keep it under 120 degrees - if it has a fan in back. Any way that can take quite a few hours and would be a major drain on your electric bill. And I don't recommend it - it may be too hot and damage the enzymes that dehydrating at a low climatic characteristic is supposed to preserve.

Dehydrators use very diminutive energy. If you're eating raw foods now and don't have a dehydrator you certainly should get one. I find it an necessary piece of equipment for raw fooders. It will give you much more in the way to choose from in terms of the estimate of raw food recipes you can prepare.

I make many distinct raw recipes in the dehydrator - for example, cookies, other types of raw crackers, raw pizza, raw crepes, mushroom appetizers, appetizers, raw onion bread and much more. Spend in a dehydrator if you can. Get the big square one with the fan in the back, because those are the best and will not heat the food. The 9-tray Excalibur is the one I use.

Okay for the simple, easy, basic raw flax seed cracker recipe see below. Any way it is bland and I would recommend my follow-up variations for the best and most flavorful crackers.

How To Make Flax Seed Crackers

Ingredients: flax seeds and pure unfiltered water

2 cup flax seeds soaked for 5- 8 hours or overnight - not ground up or you can use 2 cups of flax seeds unsoaked ground in a food processor

2 tsp sun dried sea salt

2 1/2 - 3 cups or more of pure filtered water

Mix together in mixing bowl and add more water if necessary. It should be very moist. Don't worry - it does not have to be perfect. They all the time turn out. Spread onto dehydrator trays about 1/4 inch thick.

Use a pizza cutter to cut into squares. Harden at about 95 degrees for 12-24 hours or until they look dried and crispy. About half way through the process, re-score with the pizza cutter and place an additional one tray on top and flip over and continue dehydrating.

Now this is a very basic flax seed cracker recipe. But you'll want to add spices or additional ingredients to make them flavorful. Otherwise they will be bland.

Optional: 3 teaspoons of Italian seasoning for a more pizza-like cracker or add 3 T caraway seeds for a caraway seed cracker or add 4 dates for a sweeter cracker or add 1 T coriander seeds or add 2 cups of unsoaked sunflower seeds that have been ground up fine in a food processor or any blend of any of these. You can also add 5 stalks of celery or the pulp from juicing carrots instead of some of the water as long as your final blend is a diminutive moist.

Now you know how to make raw flax seed crackers. Corollary these straightforward directions and make sure to add the variations for the best flax seed crackers. There are many other raw food diet recipes you can make with or without a dehydrator. And even more variations of crackers.
