First Post

I love making candy!  As I said on the main description, I've been doing this for 30 years or so...  Before I was married, where I worked, one of my responsibilities was making "Million Dollar Fudge" and "Pecan Pralines".  When I got married, I asked my Mom for her "Butter Almond Toffee" recipe that she would make for Christmas every year.  Now I could finally have all I wanted!  This is definitely my most favorite!!


I made Fudge for many fundraisers.  I just made Toffee at Christmas because it was a bit more involved.  It seemed like every year someone mentioned that I should sell the candy.


This year, as I was considering beginning this venture, I decided to do some more experimenting, so I asked my Mom,  Aunt and Sister for recipes that they would recommend.  I made "Creamy Caramels" with pecans for the first time this year.  This has quickly become a favorite of anyone who has tasted them.  I will be adding some more recipes to my repertoire in the near future.  Some are recipes from my Grandmother and even my Great Grandmother.


I don't want to limit myself to only making candy.  I LOVE to bake too, so I'll probably have some baked goods available soon as well.


My e-mail is dianastoffeehaus@gmail.com.  I am also developing a website which will be going up shortly.  www.dianastoffeehaus.com
