    The 7 layer bars were known as 'Hello Dollies' in my youth, and the dipped coconut balls were called 'Martha Washingtons'.
    Bringing back lovely memories!

    I love butterscotch! One of the candies I make at Christmas is hay stacks, just melt butter, butterscotch chips and those dry chow mein noodles! Delicious

    • @robynevans1287
      @robynevans1287 ปีที่แล้ว +1

      We make those & call them "Haystacks" too! 👍👍 Easy & YUMMY!! I learned of it by watching my Mom make them when I was a child.

    Oh I've always put the coconut on the top layer of the seven layer bars because then sometimes it gets a little brown and looks really pretty

    I freeze my coconut balls before dipping. Works great.

    We call those Dipped candies, and my recipe calls for 2 cups of chopped pecans. These are my oldest son’s most favorite holiday food! He lives in Colorado, and we are in Texas so he hasn’t had them in years. The other night I mixed up the filling, and sent him a picture to let him know I’d be sending him some. He was so excited!! He actually asked me to send him a pallet or two of them! Lol

  • @canditamcguckian1031
    @canditamcguckian1031 11 หลายเดือนก่อน

    When I make mine before, I put my coconut in, I always put it in my food processor to kind of make it a little more fine. Some people don’t like the texture of coconut. So I find this is more welcoming to people that dislike the texture of coconut. And I also do that for my bounty balls as well ❤

    This has got to be one of the most pleasant and relaxing to watch videos I’ve watched all year 2022. The sound of your voice, the tempo you kept at while doing each delicious sounding recipe, not rushed or in a hurry, the very lightly/quietly played Christmas music in the background, the instructions and stories you shared were all just so relaxing and spot on. Even though I chose this video for the recipes, I don’t really even care what you made so much as it is everything else!! It was so awesome I didn’t hesitate to hit the like button and smash the subscribe button. I so look forward to watching ALL of your other videos and future videos!!!
    Much Love, Bunches of Mama Bear Hugs and an Abundance of Blessings, to you and yours!!!!❤️❤️❤️🤗🤗🤗🎊🎊🎊
    Merry Christmas!!🎄🎁 🎉❤

    I’ve always known the “Coconut Balls” as dipped candy. Our recipe calls for chopped pecans, & semi-sweet chocolate chips for dipping and our family loves them!
    I’ve made Stolen before, and it was delicious! I have German ancestors, and lived there for three years when I was growing up. I really loved it there!

  • @christinewilliams7005
    @christinewilliams7005 ปีที่แล้ว +2

    You need a can of sweetened condensed milk over the crust and everything else you push into it and it will bubble up through and create almost a candy around all of the chips and nuts!

    Coconut milk (the thick stuff from the can) makes an INCREDIBLE sweetened condensed milk - there's lots of recipes on the internet, but it is arguably the superior non dairy condensed milk! And it's not heavy on the coconut flavour because of all the sugar, and a great add in for vietnamese style iced coffee!

    Make your own vanilla, it's amazing. The difference is unmistakable. Jar, vanilla beans, vodka. Let sit. Shake it every other day for ,3-6 weeks. Mine sat up almost 3 months. Cheese cake was awesome. I do spilt my beans. It would be great in this

    You can also use another slightly larger pot/saucepan for the top half of the faux double boiler. That's what I do...just gotta hold it in place while you stir. These candies look delicious!

    I've always known your 7 layer bars to be Everything Bars, because they have a little bit of everything. They're a great way for me to use up all the little odds and ends that I have left over from all my Christmas candy making. I always use shortbread cookies for the crust.

    Oh, GOSH! I HATE overly SWEETENED condensed milk!! Believe it or not, i use evap and add A little sweetener of choice if needed. The morsels are already sweet enough. Coconut, YES!!❤ im surprised she didn't think of adding adding rice crispies to her left over chocolate with other things.

  • @barbaraness4507
    @barbaraness4507 2 ปีที่แล้ว

    Well that’s neat. I’m talking about the coconut oil. I’ve always used wax , and I figured it was to help the chocolate form to the candies. I haven’t coated the candy yet, so I think I’ll try that method with a small portion.

    Iv seen another recipe close to this one your coconut balls make everything but don’t add the powder sugar , make small balls make toffee the kind that’s made with water sugar and vinegar once the toffee is ready get a toothpick poke it into the ball and dunk it into the hot toffee till it’s coated put it aside to cool and you have lovely toffee crunch on the inside and soft gooey center hello from Australia 🇦🇺
