Everyone enjoys a treat at the holidays. Here are two recipes that will please the two- and four-legged members of the family.
Stained glass candy
Ingredients:
- Water
- Sugar
- Light Corn syrup
- Flavoring extract (any flavor you want)
- Food Coloring (any color)
Directions:
Mix the ingredients together, and boil to reach 300 degrees F.
Remove from heat and let it cool just until bubbles stop breaking at the surface and pour it onto a baking sheet (lined with foil and non-stick spray).
Once it has completely cooled and hardened (about 30-45 minutes), you can break it apart and eat!
Dog bones
Ingredients:
- 2 eggs
- 1/2 cup pumpkin
- 1/2 teaspoon salt
- 2 tablespoons dry milk
- 2 1/2 cups whole wheat flour
- water
Directions:
Preheat oven to 350 degrees F.
Blend eggs and pumpkin together; add salt, dry milk, and flour.
Add water as needed to make the dough somewhat workable.
The dough should be dry and stiff, don’t be concerned with crumbs being left in the bowl.
You will need to mix this with your hands because it is too stiff for an electric mixer.
Roll to 1/2-inch thick.
Cut into shapes.
Place 1” apart on ungreased cookie sheet.
Bake for 20 minutes on one side, then turn over and bake another 20 minutes.
