    Some times I feel like a nut and sometimes I don't, so putting an almond into the middle of your stellar recipe has become my new favorite 😊

      ​@mycrazycreativelife2023 I used chopped almond and they are not powered fine but like topping size. And if it to dry I add a little bit of milk. It works great if you like them. I make 1 batch without a 1 batch with fine chopped almonds. You have great vedios thank you for sharing ❤️

    I've always used Gulf Wax to make my candy. It leaves a beautiful shine on chocolate candy.

    • @mycrazycreativelife2023
      @mycrazycreativelife2023  11 หลายเดือนก่อน +1

      I think so. I also had a feeling and looked it up, and I was right. They use gulf wax “paraffin wax” in the chocolate that coats ice cream. Dairy Queen uses something different I believe but a lot of your chocolate “crackle” that’s poured over ice cream uses it.

    I make quick ones with 1 stick butter, 2 cups powdered powder, and 3 cups coconut. Then I roll into balls, put them in petit four liners and stick a Hershey’s kiss with almonds in the middle and push down. Makes about 60

    I used to make my mother-in-laws “mounds balls”, as we call them, every year. They were so special. My mom’s favorite candy so I loved making them for her. Our recipe called for the sweetened condensed milk as you mentioned, and we also use the wax. The wax was new to me but I trusted the process & it works beautifully. I have always used a double boiler. I love your tip to grate it & will use that method.
    Thanks for making this video & good luck to you!

    When I was a kid we made coconut bon bons with a can of sweetened condensed milk, 2 pounds of powdered sugar a large bag (I forgot the weight) shredded of flaked coconut. Mixed together and made balls and dipped in melted chocolate. Sometimes adding chopped nuts or a cherry, and sometimes green and red food coloring. I think I'd like to try it with butter instead of the SCM.

    Yeah, I don't think I would want to put that wax stuff in my chocolate. I don't think I have ever used that and I have melted a lot of chocolate. Never seen this before. I always just use a little Karo syrup or was it Crisco? 👀BWHAHA

    • @mycrazycreativelife2023
      @mycrazycreativelife2023  11 หลายเดือนก่อน

      Lol. probably Crisco. It will help your chocolate stay more liquid I guess you could say for easier dipping. But then the chocolate stays soft. I think the Gulf Wax is slowly dying. Not many ppl use it anymore. But older ppl do. So I guess I’m old. Hahahha
