Date: Mon, 1 Apr 96 8:33:53 EST submitted by: rayna@iconz.co.nz This was my mother’s Rocky Road recipe. And the best of them all. Melt butter and chocolate together. Cool slightly. Add marshmallows and mix. Add nuts and cherries. Mix lightly. Prepare piece of foil with sprinkles of coconut and shape chocolate mixture into long roll on foil. Roll foil over chocolate roll. Freeze. Makes enough for two rolls. I keep it in the garage freezer out of the way and still find too many excuses to go out to the damn garage. Enjoy!

From: blkcat!Leti.Labell@uunet.uu.net (Leti Labell) Date: Sun, 12 Dec 1993 11:31:08 -0500 From Family Circle’s _Christmas Helps and Holiday Baking. 1993 NOTE: if you only have salted cashews, as I did, rinse them in a colander and dry them with a paper towel. Line baking sheet or shallow baking pan with foil. Butter foil and metal spatula; set aside. Combine nuts, sugar, corn syrup and salt in a 6-cup microwave-safe bowl. Cook, uncovered, 4 minutes on High; stir well and cook 4 minutes longer on High. Mixture will be boiling. Stir in butter and vanilla. Microwave on High 2 minutes. Add baking soda and stir until light and foamy. Quickly pour into prepared pan. Spread to about 1/4 inch thickness with spatula. Let cool, then break into pieces. Store in airtight container. (I wrapped the pieces in plastic wrap.) Makes 1 pound. REC.FOOD.RECIPES ARCHIVES /CANDY From rec.food.cooking archives. Downloaded from Glen’s MM Recipe Archive, http://www.erols.com/hosey.

Cashew Crunch (Passover Candy)

Servings: 6 Servings
Category: Candy
Ingredients

  • 1/2 c Honey
  • 1 1/2 ts Fresh lemon juice
  • 2 c Roasted cashews

Directions
From: “L.A.Z. Smith” Date: 2 Apr 1994 11:18:16 -0500 In a heavy saucepan, preferably nonstick, bring the honey and lemon juice to a boil over medium-high heat. Add the nuts and cook, stirring constantly, until the mixture thickens and darkens (be careful not to let it burn), about 15-20 minutes. Pour out onto a nonstick pan, such as a jellyroll pan or a large skillet moistened with cold water and spread to a thickness of about 1/4 inch. Let cool completely. When fully hardened, break into small pieces. Makes about 3/4 pound of candy. Store in a tightly sealed tin. Since I adapted this from a recipe for nuant, or walnut brittle, I guess you can use any kind of nuts. You could dip the finished candy in melted chocolate, too.
