Homemade candy recipes
Everything here has been made in our kitchen, usually more than once, and written down including the parts that went wrong the first time. Most of it is no-bake and none of it needs a candy thermometer.

Homemade Halloween Gummy Worms
Three ingredients and a worm mould. The same gummy recipe we make year-round, turned properly creepy for October.
Halloween Chocolate Bark
Our chocolate bark in a Halloween costume. Orange and black, crushed candy pressed on top, ready in about forty minutes with no thermometer.
Easy Homemade Twix Bars
Buttery shortbread, soft caramel and a chocolate top. These homemade Twix bars take about 35 minutes of work and beat the wrapper every time.
Homemade Snickers Bars
Nougat, peanuts, caramel and chocolate in a 9x13 pan. Easier than they look, and they hold up better than the ones in the wrapper.
Homemade Rice Krispie Treats
Marshmallow, butter and cereal done properly. These stay chewy for days instead of turning into a brick by morning.
Homemade Gummy Bears
Three ingredients, real fruit juice and a silicone mould. Gummy bears you can actually pronounce, set and ready in under an hour.
Easy Chocolate Bark
Melt, spread, top, chill. Bark is the most forgiving candy there is, and the best way to use up whatever is left in the cupboard.
No-Bake Peanut Butter Buckeyes
The Ohio classic: peanut butter fudge centres dipped in chocolate with a bare circle left on top. No oven, no thermometer, no fuss.
