Hi Alexandra,
The basic candy corn recipe is pretty simple; the trick is in getting
the"corn" kernels' coloring right. That's apparently very difficult to do at
home. Brach's and the other compaines that make candy corn have machines to
do it for them. That's why most people just buy candy corn instead of trying
to make it. If you really want to try, the basic recipe is below. I have no
idea how to advise you on the coloring... just be creative, I guess...
Phaed
Candy Corn
1 cup sugar
2/3 cup white corn syrup
1/3 cup butter
1 tsp vanilla
several drops food coloring (optional)
2 1/2 cup powdered sugar
1/4 tsp salt
1/3 cup powdered milk
Combine sugar, white corn syrup and butter in pan, bring to boil
stirring constantly. Turn heat low and boil 5 minutes. Stir
occasionally. Remove from heat and add vanilla and several drops
food coloring (optional) Meanwhile, combine powdered sugar, salt
and powdered milk Add all at once to mixture in pan. Stir until
cool enough to handle. Knead until stiff enough to hold its shape.
Shape into triangles, or any shape desired.
Makes 1 3/4 lb candy.

Subject: C&H Brown Sugar
in the mid 1960's C&H had an 'Apple Kuchen" recipe on the back of the
brown sugar box.
I was young at the time and didn't know I needed to save it. I have
search many books with recipes having the same name and have yet to
find it. It was made in a regular pit crust and the apples were covered
with brown sugar and sour cream. I would like to find that recipe.
Please
janet
Hi Janet,
Well, as is usually the case, I didn't find any recipe that mentioned C & H Brown Sugar. People just don't post recipes that way,
saying "from the C & H box", etc. I suppose they're afraid that C & H or whomever would not like it.
The problem in searching for this was the name that C&H gave their recipe. "Apple Kuchen" means "apple cake", but what you are
describing is a sour cream & apple pie. So, using that name, I was able to find recipes that used apples, sour cream, and brown
sugar in a regular pie shell. Hopefully, one of them is close to the recipe that you recall.

Hi,
I was doing a search for the above because I didn't want to type it in myself.
My mom gave me her copy of the cut out from the back of the C& H package years ago.
I noticed that one of your requests was for this and you couldn't find it but found
something similar.
Here is the original recipe:
Sour Cream Apple Pie
5 large tart apples
1 pastry-lined 9" pie pan
1 Tb lemon juice
3/4 c C & H Granulated Sugar
1/3 c Flour
1/4 tsp Salt
1 tsp Cinnamon
1/4 tsp Nutmeg
1/4 c Butter or margarine
1/2 c sour cream
Peel and cut apples into thick slices. Arrange slices in overlapping rows in
pastry-lined pie pan. Sprinkle with lemon juice. Mix sugar, flour, salt, cinnamon,
and nutmeg; cut in butter until crumbly. Spoon over apples. Spread sour cream
over top. Bake in 350 F oven 50 to 55 minutes until apples are tender.
1 pie – 8 servings.

Subject: Re: buttercream
Your buttercream worked great!!! I also need a chocolate glaze
that is melt/sticky proof in the tropical heat. Is there such a
thing? What I used before was a ganache that was so sticky and
even melts even if exposed to the tropical heat for even five minutes.
Diane
Hi Diane,
I'm glad the buttercream worked for you! Try the chocolate glaze recipe below. If it still melts, try reducing the water to 2 tbsp & just stir longer.
It may not drizzle quite as well, but that may be the trade-off so that it doesn't melt in the heat. Use the butter-flavor shortening in this one, too.
Phaed
Chocolate Glaze Frosting
Ingredients :
1/4 c. cocoa
2 tbsp. shortening
2 tbsp. light corn syrup
3 tbsp. water
2 c. confectioners' sugar
1/4 tsp. vanilla
Preparation :
Combine cocoa, 3 tablespoons water, shortening and corn syrup in
medium saucepan. Stir over low heat until shortening melts and
mixture is smooth. Remove from heat; beat in sugar and vanilla.
Pour over top of cake allowing to drizzle over sides.
