If you have been around for a while you know that every year I do Relay For Life! This year fundraising has been......well pretty depressing. The only person to personally donate to the cause for me was my mother. Who ironically is the person who can least afford it. So I am sending out one last plea to my readers to donate to this cause. It all goes directly to the American Cancer Society and is in no way filtered through me. Tonight I will once again embark on walking in hope for a cure regardless and I plan on beating my 2012 total of 16 miles! Join me as well on twitter tonight to see my progress :) and THANK YOU! If you would like to find out more about the little boy we are walking in support of tonight you can head to Prayers for Parks page on Facebook :)
Most hard candies call for corn syrup, but since I was out and I have 3 children home I decided to experiment and make something fun! Here is what you need: 2 Cups of Sugar 2 Cups of Water 1 Package Sugar Free Jello A candy Thermometer Making candy is a pretty tricky process and trust me I messed up a batch or two getting this to work right.lol Put the sugar and water into the pot and turn on medium whisking well till the sugar is dissolved. Stirring pretty regularly to help the sugar from burning. As the sugar begin to boil turn the heat up to high. Watch your thermometer when the candy reaches 230 pour in the jello continuing to mix. Pour this mixture immediately into a cake pan that is lined with parchment paper of you can rub a little veggie oil in it. The candy will continue to cook as it melts anything over 230 you will be left with a burnt candy that tastes like licorice.lol After you candy is cooled completely turn it out onto a cookie sheet and break apart :O) I li
