Is it acceptable to give homemade Christmas Candy as gifts?

I can already tell that this year I will not have a lot of money to spend on gifts. There are about 10 couples/families we exchange with (I’ve tried to stop this,but they don’t agree…obviously they make more than us). I normally start buying now when I see sales, and just store it between now and December.But the money just isn’t there. So this year I was thinking it would be better for us financially if I just made candy and gave it as gifts mainly Peanut Butter Balls, Rollo Turtles, Fudge, Peanut Brittle and maybe something else. Is it rude or impolite to wrap these up in cellophane and give them as gifts? I know maybe a tin would be nice too, but I’m more concerned I’m going to look cheap…anyone do this?

I live in the GTA and I really want to buy a small cotton candy machine. Does anyone know where I can get one?

I have seen a few on sale but they’re all for sale online. I want to actually purchase it in person in the GTA and in the next week before christmas. If anyone can please help, I would appreciate it so much. Thanks!

NewYears Party, What snack food is good?

I am having friends come over tomorrow night for the New Years celebration. I am just planning out what I am going to buy at the grocer. I was thinking about serving up some light snacks. Do you think this would be appropriate:

I would buy 1 – 2 pound loaf of Velveeta Cheese, Make some homemade croutons as I have some iceberg lettuce in the fridge, fixins for Caesar Salad. I already have some salted premium plus crackers. I have one package of 12 wieners that I would slice up into about a 1/2 inch long to put on the crackers with a small square of the Velveeta. I have some left over Christmas candy I would put in a bowl. I also have 2 pieces of cardboard to make up New Years hats.

Drinks: I am going to buy one bottle of Vodka, I have one package of Tang to mix with it. And I am going to buy one Gallon of Grape Jack wine, its on sale for $6.99

I also have some Sanka instant coffee for when my guests are finished for the night and being I don’t want to be washing a bunch of cups, I have a pack of 200 styrofoam cups.
Can you think of anything else? Thanks, E.

What are some fundraising tips that will help me get more sales for my school?

Almost everyone is saying no, and I need some tips on how to talk to people. P.S. I am selling Christmas items such as candy, candles, etc. If you are interested, give me your email and I will send you an email!

Does anyone have a candy recipe?

I’m trying to find a recipe on how to make Easter peanut rolled eggs. Does anyone have one or know of a good site to find one?

does anyone know any recipes with reese’s easter eggs or cadbury eggs in them?

I’m not looking for a copy cat recipe but something I can bake that uses the reese’s eggs (hard or soft) or the cadbury eggs (hard or soft kind)….preferably the hard candies but anything really..

Can you help me find a favorite childhood candy?

Growing up, there was a local confectionary that made a white chocolate Easter egg filled with a very rich strawberry cream. The lady who ran the shop passed away and I haven’t been able to find anything like this anywhere. I’ve even searched for a recipe to try it on my own. My mom and my brother looked forward to enjoying these each Easter and I would love to surprise them. Can you help?

Do you need recipes? Check this out!?

Which chocolate brand is the best for baking and candy making?

What type of chocolate do they normally use for making “Gourmet Chocolates”?

Anyone have a good recipe for making chocolate candies?

I have an antique, metal, candy mold for making 49 square candies from a company called “King Kup.” I think the company is defunct now. I’d like to try making the chocolate candies. Anyone have good recipes for this? Warning: I’m a real novice at this whole thing. I’m not familiar with candy thermometers, (although I’m pretty sure you need one), so if you could recommend a good one, that would be great too. Any tips also would be greatly appreciated! Thanx!

A good recipe for making my own dark mint chocolate candy.

I love Hershey’s Sticks Mint Milk Chocolate but they don’t always have them in the store. So I would like a recipe so that I can make this candy any time I have a chocolate craving.

Mothers!How many of you belive giving too much candy+chocolate makes your children too hyper and being silly?

Mothers!How many of you belive giving too much candy+chocolate makes your children too hyper and being silly?I do belive so and also it leads your child to have ADHD AND AHD kind of problems that is really beyond controls sometimes.Your thoughts?
I also belive giving too much soft drinks like cock-pepsi do the same thing.

How do I make candy with chocolate chips that with be firm, not sticky?

Maybe I need to use some other source of chocolate for making candy?

Help with a name for a virtual animal that has to do with sweets?

OK, so me and my friends play a game and we have this thing going on currently where we make an animal that has to do with sweets. All the names I wanted to use are taken, and I just wanted to know what you guys think I could name my animal. The animal choices are: Horse, Dog, Cat, Pig, Rabbit, Mouse, Bear, and Duck, but I’d prefer names that could work with any animal. It can be just about any color except black, you can only make those on Halloween. Best answer goes to the name I use, so submit a lot of names! Thanks in advance!

??Mind candy reads for a 16 year old gal???

My preferences in books kind of revolve around make-believe things like vampires, werewolves, and witches. (I blame twilight) I also enjoy lighthearted romances and comedies. I don’t mind dark books if there’s a lesson I can take from them.

I’ve read all the Sarah Dessen books,
Vampire Academy,
House of Night series,
Morganville Vampires,
Vampire Diaries,
Twilight, Blood and Chocolate,
Silver Kiss,
Tantalize,
Circus of the Damned,
The Night Huntress series,
Georgia Nicholson books,
the Luxe, the Mediator,
1-800-where-are-you series, etc. (Threw out my list because these seem to be some of the most popular series these days =)

What would you do if you saw me at a the local gas station buying tons of candy (details inside)?

Then 1 hour later I come up to your door… and say, “Hello my name is Dan and I’m selling candy for my local fundraiser…. yadda yadda yadda”… what would you do?
(remember you saw me at the gas station buying this candy)

Where can I order easter candy?

Online please, our local candy store closed and that’s where we always get our candy for the kids. ANyways, some online easter candy shops? Thanks, Cole.

Where can you buy candy ciggaretts. ONLY LOCAL STORES?

i need it for my project and i dont know where to find them
THIS IS FOR A PROJECT!!!!! GOD. and i live in MD (maryland if you are stupid)

You have inadvertainly dropped your footlong Baby Ruth candy in the local pool….?

…It is now floating along….
until someone screams POO!!!!! There is a panic in the pool and people make a mad scram to get out of the water. What do you do? Apologize? eat the wateloged Baby Ruth to show them it is indeed candy?? What???

Do you think it’s safe to let my daughter be a candy stripper at the local hospital?

Why is it so easy to gobble 3 doughnuts, but 750 calories of our favorite vegetable would be a dull snack…?

Why are sweets so easy, tasty and satisfying? Many of us would guzzle 16 oz of soda without a thought, but at 200 + calories, we’d have to run nearly 3 miles to burn it off, which many people don’t do. The average box of movie candy would take 60-90 minutes of jogging to burn! Why is it so fast, enjoyable, and delicious to eat sugary, salty, or fatty foods, but eating the same amount of low fat, low sugar foods is so unrewarding…that many of us couldn’t eat the same calorie count in broccoli or cauliflower, even if we like it. Do they put something in sodas, krispy kreme doughnuts, godiva chocolates, chips, or popular candy to make the food taste better than normal? To make us crave them? Apples are sweet, but we don’t really crave those. What is going on with these processed foods? In fact, I don’t even remember ever craving a homemade pumpkin pie desert the way I would sit and think about soda or krispy kreme. I’m someone who is into eating healthy and exercising, but even I often think about these foods and want to eat them. I have to struggle to cook myself green beans to eat with the chicken I brought home, while I watch my boyfriend chow down on fries and a double cheeseburger. Is there a reason fast food places don’t typically serve real vegetables? Is there a reason our bodies really want us to eat unhealthy foods? Why does it FEEL like deprivation? Why do we crave that garbage that isn’t really even food? What do food companies really do in their laboratories? How are we able to get renewed appetite to eat a giant brownie sundae after eating a full meal?

Help with my Bichon Frise? PLEASE ANSWER!!?

I adopted a 3 year old Bichon from the humane society and she is so sweet! She is potty and krate trained. We have had her for seven months now and she still will have little poo and pee accidents in the middle of the night. We are tired of it! She also has a nose for sweets and has eaten a chocolate caramel candy and part of a Godiva bar (we called the vet and he said she will be fine). She will also bark randomly in the night. Any suggestions? I love the little squirt, but I am frustrated!
Thank you!
By the way, we do take her out right before bed and she sleeps with me every night. We take her food up 2.5 hours before bed time.
Yes, she goes outside and we play with her and yes she is on a feeding schedule! 7 am is breakfast, 6 pm is dinner.

Jonas Brothers Cocert?

I’m going to a Jonas Brothers performance(I wouldn’t really call it a concert because they’re playing for half-time and post-game at a basketball game) and the place is attached to a mall and I wanted to know if they would be walking around there because it’s all expensive stuff and there’s a Godiva Chocolate Place(Joe’s fav candy) and if they are, how should approach them. Oh, and the reason I wanted to know if they’d be wandering around because they have a concert 1 state over so I don’t know if they had to leave early or something.

WHAT WAS IN UR EASTER BASKET?

i got a bunch of mini sees candy chocolate eggs and a bunch of big godiva chocalate eggs. I stuffed bunny (not real). and a chocoalate flower lillipop from godive and a big choclate bunny and a small chocolate bunny. pearl earrings. 20 dollars. a glass egg that held the 20 dollars. an M&M filled plastic pink egg. pink basket

How do you delete your Candystand account?

I have a Candystand.com account and I don’t want it. I don’t like the name and you can’t change it. How can I delete my account. And don’t say just go to your account and click delete. There is no DELETE button.

Can I buy the software for the Mini Putt Adventure game from Candystand?

My grandfather really wants this game, but he’s got something against downloading from the Internet. Can I purchase the sofware for him to be able to play this game?

when i go to candystand to play a game. a little box with an x appears in the corner. whats wrong?

i go to candystand i i click on any game. as i put play i get another screen. I belive thats the game screen, but the game never loads instead a little box with a red x appears in the top left corner. Why is that?

What is the website for candystand the site with candy games?

Is there any other good game sites like addictinggames and candystand?

Whitman’s or Russell Stover?

Frugal Sweet Tooth Poll: Will you go to the store the day after VD and buy candy at a big discount?

You can usually get good prices on Russell Stover, Whitman, and other types of expensive chocolates the day after Valentine’s Day.

Will you take advantage of this big discount?

Thanks, as always, for adding to the sampling of my poll.

Do you eat your dessert before dinner?

Sometimes I do depending on the mood. Sometimes when I eat peanut M&Ms I open the bag on the kitchen table before we have dinner with my mom. She tells me to wait till after finishing dinner to eat them. My mom has the same dessert as me and she also opens them and eats one or two of them before dinner. Once, I opened my Russell Stover mini-box of candy 2 hours before dinner in the living room and forget to eat one then when I moved the candy to the kitchen I ate one of them. My mom said it is okay sometimes.

what do you like better white choc or dark choc?

I like both but would rather have dark choc, right now I’m eatting this candy bar it’s called Russell Stover (Private Reserve) Triple Chocolate Mousse., it’s made with 70% Cacao Dark and White Chocolate, and I can tell you it tastes so good. Now this is a candy bar to eat.

Can I roll my 401K from Merrill Lynch to JP Morgan?

I have a 401K from Wal-Mart (Merrill Lynch) and I want to roll over to Russell Stover‘s (J.P. Morgan). Can I do that?

After the love is gone. Is there any hope for rekindling the flame?

After 30 years of marriage and a lot of water both bad and good has gone under the bridge on both sides of the river, can things be fixed.

I woke up about a year ago and realized that I really loved this woman that I chose to spend my life with, but we were in trouble.

She stated that she loved me but was bot in love with me. I have tried almost everything I can think of and I am almost ready to give up, but I can’t. I love this woman with all of my heart. She excites me. The more distant she gets the more I want her.

We sleep in different rooms by her request. She no longer let’s me see any part of her naked body, no longer touches me, or shows any affection. Yet I still try. I have just retired due to medical reasons but I am health enough to seek intimacy with her. No one else will do. I have done everything that I could possibly do, incl. cooking every day and doing the housework, gifts, gifts, gifts. Flowers, candy, love notes, e-mails, dates, hot towels when she showers at times. Nothing seems to work and I get the impression that things are getting worse.

Don’t get me wrong, I don’t expect anything for all that I have done. I just trying to make life better and do the best for the most precious thing in my life. My jewel, the love of my life, my wife. Or, is it too late?

MAJOR PRESENT CRISIS!!!?

Okay, I’m a last minute shopper and I hate myself for it. Please don’t answer by saying “You waited till NOW to buy gifts?” Yes, I know I waited till now, which means I’m at a one-store limit. I can’t go all over town.
I need gifts for:

MOM: thinking about earring or a picture frame. Any other ideas? Preferably something I could make (I’m not cheap, my mom just likes handmade things)
DAD: kind of “nerdy”. He likes books, but he already has one by Clinton and Obama. Who’s left? Please help me out.
2 BROTHERS: Not a big deal. I’ll probably get them candy. They both LOVE Skittles.
AUNT: I have more than a day. I’m going to mail her gift, so it can be a little late. She’s also my Godmother, and ALWAYS gives me gifts. I have to get her something nice.

Please help come on guys you can get ten points!
By the way I have no idea why this is in ‘history’. I meant to put it in ‘Christmas’.

Native English speakers! Could you help me?

Dear you all,

How do you do? Thank you for this.
I would like you to correct my poor English better way, I would be very happy if you could make them as fluent as possible.

Thank you so much! have a good day!

…….

You are welcome for the two mails ^^ when you feel happy, I feel happy too ^^

Yes, I have gotten many mails from my penpals. One of my penpals likes taking pictures. She sent me many beautiful pictures. Just today, she sent pictures of her village which was so nice. She is a really nice and pretty girl from Korean.
She asked me if she could send a new year card to me, I was really glad to hear that.
Have you sent any post cards or snail mails to your penpals?
I have never send any snail mails or post cards, (I think it is nice but to write a letter with my hands and to go to the post office are troublesome) but I have sent a gift to one of my penpals for about three years ago ^^ she asked me ” Can you inform me of your address? I want to send a post card to you. My adress is….” Then I thought that I could send a gift to her. I knew she liked a manga called “hagane no renkin jutsu shi” (Fullmetal Alchemist) so I went to a manga shop to buy something for her. I bought a magcup, towel, pencils..and some other things of that manga.
She did not know that I had sent that gift until it was arrival to her house. She seemed to be happy with the gift ^^
She told me “I asked my mom if you could stay at my house, she said you could stay here if you come to Finland”
It was sooo cute of her to ask that to her mom ^^ and she asked me what kind of gifts I would like to get from her, I had no idea what things I would like to get, anyways I do not want her to send any gifts to me, because sending a gift by airmail would be a lot of cost for young people. I mean, 100 dollar for adult and 100 dollar for the youth are not the same.
I though that she had been given money from her parents, so should use money for her, not for me.
So, if the Korea girl would send me a new year card, it will have been the first card from my penpals ^^

I think small girls want to exchange snails mails or post cards more than boys or men, that Korea girl is 16 years old, and that Finish girl was 15 years old at that time, aa, I remember, a french girl asked me if she could send some candies to me too. she was 16 years old. so it seems small girl tend to exchange something ^^

You think my neighbor girl would have any interest in dating me?

I like this girl who lives upstairs from my apartment. So, yesterday evening, I knocked on her door and gave a box of holiday cookies and candy, wishing her and her roommate a merry Christmas. I included my e-mail and phone number on the gift tags, hoping that she would reciprocate my gesture by sending me a thank you e-mail or call or text. Alas, I have not received any of those from her.

She was pleasantly suprised when I gave her the gifts, buut I don’t think she see’s me as more than just a friendly neighbor dude. She probably won’t be interested in going out on a date with me. Othewise, she would have sent me a thank you note at least. Your thoughts?

Sugar Free Treat & Fudge Recipes?

Hi everyone! I am looking for a recipe that is sugar free, and ESPECIALLY aspartame free. I am making different types of fudge as gifts for my boyfriend’s immediate family for Christmas (his request, not mine!!!), and his niece LOVES sweets. Obviously they prefer not to give her tons of sweets because they are bad for her, so I was wondering if anyone had any recipes? Something soft like cookies is ideal, no hard candy recipes, she’s 1 and a half. I want to make her something healthy, sugar substitute free, and sweet.

Second, I would like tested fudge recipes!! I need a recipe for peanut butter fudge (with the marshmallow fluff), regular chocolate fudge, and diabetic fudge. I am aware there are recipes on the internet, but I’m hoping someone has actually attempted a recipe and got great compliments! Please keep in mind, I’ve never made it before…nothing TOO difficult!!

Please let me know! Thanks everyone, happy holidays!

Do you have to use baking chocolate…?

… if you are going to melt it down and mold it to make, say, lollipops for Halloween?

I LOVE the Chocolate they sell at Aldi’s…it’s my all time favorite. I wanted to know if I can use that make candy instead of baking chocolate? I’d hate to ruin/waste it.

Thanks
It’s just bars of dark chocolate that they sell. If you haven’t tried them, I recommend them!

Halloween Love Potion?

Poem??

Magic Love Potion Soup..with basil and leeks

a dash of edible glitter, 2 ruby tomatoes, and gold
one claw of a black cat, and zombie mold
a kissed and pampered horney brown toad

sprinkle 1tbs of a virgins anxious trusting blood
dash of dust from a wild boars mud
a speck of red lipstick of a women in love..

the sweat of a hero facing his fears,
1/3 cup beautiful women’s broken hearted tears
a little winter dark ale, or some Transylvanian beer

drool of a black wolf on a full moons peak,
candy corn from virgin being a whore on trick or treat
mix in a blender along with basil and leeks.

boil, and stir, cauldren uncovered on low for an hour,
add cayenne pepper, salt, and lemons, for a taste of sour
and an angry mans spit to capture his passionate power

Rizzle Razzle Sultry and Sweet
Bedazzled, and sweetened, yummy to eat
send my true love to me on Hallows eve

How is mold removed from apartment walls?

After resigning my lease for 2 years last September, I decided to do some repairs and started chipping away at the paint in the foyer (it was easily coming off in chunks). When I got down to the actual wall surface under the 900 layers of paint, I noticed quite a few spots of mold. This was only in 1 area of 1 wall that didn’t even receive direct water damage from the people upstairs (On Halloween 2009, I woke up to them flooding our bathroom with about 2 inches of water after the faucet broke on their shower…which happened again after that, twice — and another tenant in the building told me that previous to me moving in, he came home one day and noticed a cascade of water coming from under the door. The people upstairs had flooded it so bad by leaving the faucet running for about 8 hours that the would-be tenants opted not to take the apartment). I started having health issues a couple months after moving in (headache, sneezing, itchy eyes, puffy eyes, lately it’s been all those plus constant fatigue, difficulty breathing, swollen glands, etc.). My dog has had non-stop bouts of coughing and sneezing to the point I somehow thought she developed kennel cough. My boyfriend was popping Claritin like it was candy because he said his allergies were constantly acting up and that it must be due to living near a park.

I called the management company and reported the problem. I told them if it couldn’t be fixed, I wanted to move. They said someone would call me. How does mold actually get removed? Given the amount of water damage this unit has been exposed to, would it even be possible for them to be able to remove the mold while we still occupy the apartment? Or is it best to just request another unit?
