Whitman’s Candy Corn Marshmallow

Most of what I love about Halloween is the tradition. But sometimes I do like to see a bit of novelty thrown into the mix. Earlier this year I saw that Whitman’s, makers of the famous Whitman’s Sampler boxed candies, started making holiday novelty candies. Their first entry for Easter was a series of pastel confection coated marshmallows. Their entry for Halloween is similar, a candy corn shaped Marshmallow covered in Halloween Pastelle.

The candies are sold individually wrapped, I found mine at RiteAid but I also saw them at Walgreen’s. Each piece is an ounce and comes in a simple cellophane sleeve with a decorative Halloween black & orange border. At fifty cents each it wasn’t hard to take a gamble on them.

The construction is simple. It’s a rounded triangle of soft, almost gooey marshmallow covered in a white confection. The coating is orange and yellow and frosted in the form of a piece of candy corn. Of course it’s missing a whole stripe, which was a bit disappointing. But the shades and ratios of the colors that they do have are dead on good mimics.

This is pure sugar with scant other ingredients to break up the sweetness. The “pastelle” coating has a good snap like a white chocolate but no other flavor - no milky notes, no vanilla. It’s smooth enough though that it creates a bit of a creamy container for the marshmallow. Since this was exceptionally fresh the marshmallow was moist and fluffy, though also a bit sticky. It melts into a fluffed cream instead of a latexy marshmallow. It’s less sweet than the coating, but on it’s own it’s still throat searing.

It’s cute to look at and of course quite economical as far as Halloween-themed edible decorations go. While I found the Easter ones a little off-putting because part of me wanted them to be flavored, this one actually reminded me a little of candy corn. Not enough to make me buy it again.

Rocky Road Ice Cream Tart Recipes.. Yumm :9

This is a really easy recipe for a Rocky Road Ice Cream Tart. This, like most of my other recipes, is one that is easily altered to suit your own tastes.

Ingredients

• 1 litre chocolate ice-cream
• 1 x 250g pkt plain chocolate biscuits, coarsely broken
• 125g unsalted butter, melted
• 250g marshmallows, coarsely chopped
• 6 Ferrero Rocher, halved

Method

Place the ice-cream in the fridge for 40 minutes to soften.

Meanwhile, place the biscuits in the bowl of a food processor and process until fine crumbs form. You are best to buy plain chocolate biscuits, (for us Aussies we’re talking Arnott’s Choc Ripple), rather than chocolate-coated varieties.

Add the butter and process until well combined. Gently press the biscuit mixture over the base and side of a 3.5cm-deep, 25cm (base measurement) fluted tart tin. Place in the fridge for 30 minutes to chill.

Once the ice cream is soft and the tart base is chilled, transfer it to a large metal bowl and use a large spoon to fold in the chopped marshmallows.

Arrange the halved Ferrero Rochers over the base of the tart. Spoon over the ice-cream and marshmallow mixture and then use a spatula to smooth the surface. Cover with plastic wrap and then place in the freezer overnight or until firm.

To serve, slice the tart into generous pieces and serve as desired – with cream, more marshmallows, cocoa powder or even drizzled with the Chocolate Sauce from my Chocolate Eton Mess recipe.

If you like this, why not try some of these variations: Mint ice-cream with peppermint crisp chunks and vanilla marshmallows; chocolate ice-cream with Cadbury Cherry Ripe chunks and pink marshmallows; vanilla ice-cream with Cadbury Crunchie chunks and vanilla marshmallows…

Halloween.. TOT

A day where dogs live out their dreams of becoming Wonder Woman,

a hippie van,

a log,

Popeye,

a taco,

and a lobster boiling in a pot of hot water.

Ahh, the holidays..

Scrapbook! whoa. (Scrapbook Table)

The paper on my old table started to fade,

So I took off the plastic cover and changed it into a giant scrapbook.

It's filled with lots of pictures, plane tickets, and maps from our adventures!

Tissue Paper

I have a whole lot of tissue paper,

so it only makes sense to make a whole lot of poofs with them!

But now I'm not sure whether I should hang them from the ceiling,

or make the most ridiculous hat in existence ;)

two part of my life ~♥

oke, sekarang saya menceritakan kisah hidup saya lagi. ini benar" serius !

begini, tanggal 9-07-2010, saya pergi ke sekolah untuk menemui Bu Aat untuk menandatangani surat pernyataan saya. ini bertepatan saat anak" pra-mos dan mereka sedang dibagikan kelas masing". pada saat saya ke sekolah (baca baik" ! saya minta dengan teramat sangat, tolong baca baik" !) saya menggunakan baju garis" abu bertuliskan "NOT FOR SALE" (beli di stepani loh, hasil patungan sama shin :B), celana hitam panjang, sepatu merah merona (emang bibir ? cape de --"), jaket putih garis" hitam, rambut ikal di gerai, poni samping (sebenernya poni saya ke depan, belom sempet potong. jadi jangan protes !), kacamata minus (saya kutu buku lho), dan tas panda hitam putih yang saya gantungkan di pundak saya.

setelah bla bla bla bla lalu bla bla bla bla bla dan bla bla bla bla terus bla bla bla bla (maaf males cerita, soalnya ga penting) akhirnya tiba waktunya saya buka facebook ! liat deh wall dari -geg Inthan- dia bilang saya lebih bagus aslinya ketimbang di foto (facebook). muka saya langsung sumringah, ge er setengah mati, salting ya ampuun (oke, saya lebai.), sampe tanya" shin, "aku cantik ya yang ?", "jujur deh bilang sama aku, aku tu gimana sih aslinya ?". ga percaya ? tanya shin aja.

terus buka fb lagi, tanya sama -geg Inthan-,

"ah masa sih ? -~-

aku pake baju apa tadi ? :p"

terus -geg Inthan- jawab,

"yyaaa , PKEK BJU osis warna ungu ,
rok item iket 1 ,

truss, lok gag slah kmu , grup , C/D thu lupa he ,
trus , tdi juga , pas q BARIS di lapangan ku liat , :P"

GUBRAAKK !! mamaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaa ~ rasanya sakit banget. TwT
dia salah orang. huaaaa !!
uda seneng" dibilang cantik, uda ge er setengah mati (maklum jarang dipuji) ternyata dia salah orang.
Oh My God ~ kuatkan hambamu ini. TwT
saya berpikir "keenakan banget tu orang yang disangka aku, itu kan bagianku ! itu pujian buat aku ! seenaknya copas muka orang." (geram padahal ga efek sama sekali)

sudah baca note saya yang pertama ? a part of my life ~♥ ? nah disitu anda bisa lihat, calon pacar saya tidak mengenali saya, (sekarang uda pacar ye. =..=) ini ga adil ya Tuhan ! berapa orang sih yang menyamai wajah saya ya Tuhan ? kuatkan hamba ya Tuhan ! berikan hambamu ini kemudahan dan kelancaran untuk menemukan orang" yang memuji saya dan tidak salah orang. amin ya Tuhan.

oke, makasih uda baca. :DD ini cuma sekedar curhat. :p saya apa adanya aja kok. ga peduli cantik ato engga (tapi tolong jangan salah orang terus TT) yang penting saya HIDUP ! MERDEKA ! JAYA INDONESIAKU ! (lho ? --a)
