Kitsnacks: Catie’s Vegan Fudge & Marshmallow Cream recipes

December 19, 2021

Okay, what follows are my recipes for vegan chocolate fudge, which requires homemade marshmallow fluff made with aquafaba, which is the fancy name for chickpea water. Do not ask me why chickpea water froths up into a great meringue. This is beyond my knowledge. It works, though. If you’re looking for something that’s just dairy-free but you’re not allergic to eggs, you can use regular marshmallow cream and save yourself a step, but this recipe goes Full Vegan. Catie’s Vegan Marshmallow Cream 1/2 c sugar 1/4 c water 3/4 c…

Kitsnacks: Catie’s Basic Fudge Recipe

December 18, 2021

FUDGE: 3 c sugar 2/3 c evaporated milk 3/4 c butter or margarine 1/2 tsp salt 12oz semi-sweet chocolate chips 2 c marshmallow creme (or 1 small jar marshmallow creme) 1 tsp vanilla 1/2 c walnuts if desired NOTES: for persons in Ireland or UK who wish to make this, the sugar must must be caster sugar; granulated makes grainy fudge. Boo, hiss. Also, semi-sweet chocolate is called plain chocolate with about a 54-60% chocolate content here, so you’d be using 12oz/2 cups of chopped plain chocolate instead. I frequently…

Kitsnacks: Pecan Pie (updated)

August 2, 2020

My husband is starting a new job on Tuesday (a promotion! Yay!), & upon hearing he was leaving, his coworkers offered the appropriate congratulations and speeches of woe, the latter of which included, “b..b..but…but…pecan pie…???” So I’m making them a pecan pie, & have finally perfected my process for the recipe I invented several years ago. It is as follows, although it should be noted that I tend to make deep-dish pies, and for your average 9″ pie this should probably be cut in half. Or you should make two.…

Kitsnacks: Raisin Bar Cookies

August 5, 2019

These, like every other molasses cookie I’ve ever had, are incredibly addictive, and are a family favorite that I don’t make all that often because (I realized as I was making them) the dough isn’t nearly as good to eat raw as chocolate chip cookie dough is. :) Raisin Bar Cookies 3/4 c butter 1 c sugar 2 eggs 1 tsp vanilla 1/4 c molasses 3 3/4 c flour 1/2 tsp baking soda 1/2 tsp cinnamon 1/4 tsp salt 1/4 tsp ginger 1 c raisins 1 c powdered sugar 2-3…

Kitsnacks: Maple & Brown Sugar Apple Butter

October 17, 2018

I revamped my maple apple butter recipe entirely this year and it is Good. A big part of the difference is I was using eating apples, because that’s what I had this time instead of super sour cooking apples, and it takes much less maple and sugar to overcome the sourness with sweet apples. I did use about five tart apples in this, too, and would recommend that, my own self. So: Miz Kit’s Maple & Brown Sugar Apple Butter 15-20 prepared (peeled, cored, sliced) apples 1.5 c apple juice…
