Hallelujah! Yes, & That Gift is STILL available Today, for those (Whosoevers, John 3:16), who have not yet accepted the Sweet Salvation Invitation! As long as there is Life, it is not too late, just, "Don't Leave Earth Without Jesus!" GOD BLESS & Merry Christmas!
My sister found a pkg of Christmas cards years ago - on the front it said "Christmas presents wrapped in pretty paper and topped with shiny bows,". The inside said "...but the greatest gift we ever received was wrapped in swaddling clothes."
Yes it is. Isn't it wonderful we can give lovingly made gifts to others as a way of remembering and honoring His loving gift given to each and all! Thank you, sweet Becky. 🤗❤️
Love these candies. You made them beautifully but the thing I love the best about your tutorials is that you give all the credit to God. God is good all the time. He loves us so and he is coming back! Blessings on your thanksgiving.
My Mom and I used to make this at Christmas and pack on top of a bushel of our oranges, grapefruit and other fruits that we grew. We would make about 1,000 of these along with 30 pounds of homemade peanut brittle and other candies. This is definitely a delicious recipe for Christmas. Thank you so much! 🙏❤🎄💝
One of THE BEST Christmas gifts that I was ever blessed with was a platter with a selection of homemade goodies! Oh my goodness .. squares, tarts, balls, slices .. candied citrus peel .. it was so nice to have. People shouldn't look down on homemade gifts .. they are made with love. Bless ..
I LOVE homemade gifts I don't care what it is! I feel like it's more important especially if someone doesn't have money for gifts they cared and loved you enough to take that time go figure out something and put their time and love in it.
You are the best cooking teacher for young men and ladies who want to learn to fix delicious foods both savory and sweet but have trouble trying to follow just a recipe. Your techniques and tips are wonderful. And how great that you are a lovely Christian women also! I'm 73 and have been in the kitchen since I was 5. Way to go!
I am so grateful for your videos ! This may sound silly but I do feel closer to Jesus after watching your videos. You are a blessing and your recipes are a bonus.
I learned to make these when I was in high school “Home Economics” but I haven’t made them for many many years. I hope to make them this year. Thank you for your videos and for sharing Jesus Christ 🎄
My sister made this, and brought me a small Baby nursery planter~filled with the candy!...when I was recovering in hospital with my first Baby. What a SWEET thing that was of her to do for me ! Wow...that Baby is 52, and that Sister...is in Heaven! Thank You, Becky~I so much enjoy all of your shows!!! I've decided to watch YOU, instead of watching The News currently. You always tell the Truth, You are not confusing, I learn new ways to bring joy ~ and I feel SO much better!! 💕 🕊 🤗😍 Many Blessings to You and Your Family!!!🙏💕🙏💕🙏💕🙏💕🕊
This does go back to the kitchen of Martha Washington. My father was taking down an old farmhouse that was built during the civil war and in the attic was a cookbook from the kitchen of The President’s wife it was written not typed. Before I say more no we didn’t keep it but we did keep copies of recipes we thought we would love for ourselves. This was my favorite to try to create because back in the day everything was done by hand not found in cans. Just to confirm I am 67 and was with my father when he found it I was 15. Been making these every year sense. My favorite. The original recipe in the book makes 250 candies. It also called for cooking wax that you melt in with the chocolate. Lovely video.
My momma made this candy, along with a lot of other kinds of candy, cookies, pies, and loaf cakes for the holidays beginning the first of November or before. No one ever left our home empty handed. I have early memories of her making Aunt Bills Candy by hand. The Texas Panhandle must truly be part of the South. We used pecans in everything. Appreciate your good memory stirring tutorials. Amen to our most precious Gift!
Absolutely! Texas is part of the South! I went to college at a small State College outside of Amarillo, knew only 1 family there, but I Never lacked a friend from the dorm who would invite me for a home cooked meal. Sweet people & wonderful memories. Thanks for sharing.
Linda. Just now seeing your reply. Was the college you attended near Amarillo in a small town -Canyon? I attended for a year. Took a car load of girls a ride home every weekend.
I’ve watched several of your videos and have enjoyed you. Today, I sat my 85yo mother down in the recliner, handed her my iPhone--after cranking up the volume 😂, and played this video for her. She’s always made Christmas candy but never this particular recipe. She enjoyed watching ☺️. After watching it she said you really did a good job explaining everything and she made other comments as she watched. She also said how much she liked the nativity behind you 💙. Thanks for making this video- we had a little Christmas in July and was very nice to share with my mom.
How Special and Beautiful ❤️ !! My Mom made it to 78 before Cancer took her to Heaven. I WISH I could have had a Moment in time Like You Shared with Your Mom at the Tender Age of 85 !! 🤗💓

This is the 1st time I've seen your channel. These look good and easy too. I subscribed to your channel simply because these look so good but you also spoke of Jesus. He is the reason for the season. So many are to afraid to give him the glory.
My favorite candy of all time! A co-worker made some for the office and I was surprised by the number of people who didn't know what they were. She told them and several people turned up their nose at the ingredients. As we were getting ready to go home, the sweet girl came by and handed me a huge tin--nearly full! She had made a double batch and thought that might not be enough. So I cried when she gave me half and took the other half home. Best gift EVER from a co-worker! I had done the same thing a few years before that, but had tripled the recipe to give as gifts, so I know how much work she'd put into this. Thanks for the tips on using the crock pot and cookie scoop. That would've made the job so much easier! 😊
What a lovely idea! I think I’ll do this so my elderly mother can have a little treat to pass out to her neighbors. They’ve all been so good to her and we are ever so grateful. Love your channel and your sweet spirit!
Thanks. I got this recipe from my mother in law MANY years ago and never knew why they were called "Martha Washingtons". Now I know. Great video. You explain procedure well without being super slow
First, I love your easy honest way, explaining how to make candies, such good instructions! Second, my family is from southern part VA near Danville, and the accent brings back many memories, always love hearing it. Thanks for recipes! God Bless!
My grandmother made candy every Christmas and this is one of them and she just called them bon bons. She did the coconut, and just pecans, then cherries, and made chocolate, peanut butter and coconut fudge, divinity, I think it was called aunt bills, peanut and pecans brittle, rocky road, and pralines. She gave as gifts and sold them by the pound. She had a great following of return customers and some new. She had a pretty good business going on. I'm so glad you showed this candy recipe because my grandmother did not leave a recipe so I'm ecstatic to see you sharing this. I will be so glad to make this. Thanks so much for sharing 😊
Hello 👋🏽 thank you for sharing. My grandma use to makes these for me in the 70ies . . I was born in 1963. . stay safe! God bless you and your family , MERRY CHRISTMAS YALL, AND ALL THE BEST FOR THE NEW YEAR! Love , Light & Healing ❤️🙏🏽🙏🏽🙏🏽🇨🇦
Well it's Christmas Day and I woke up this morning thinking about you. I've been watching your video's for about a month or so and really love everything about your presentation. I'm an old country gal myself and started cooking some 50 years ago and in every cooking show I've watched I had yet to see anyone that has that same ol' Southern style. At my age I still love to cook, but with age things slip from your mind in a recipe or two :o) Now I have a great "go to" that kicks that memory in. That place is you. I'm feeling like we're kindred spirits :o) You keep me in touch with my Lord and Savior, and God has surely blessed you for helping those who sometimes let him slip away. You're an all 'round wonderful person with all the things you do. Anyhoo, I just wanted to wish you and your family a beautiful and blessed Christmas. Happy Birthday Jesus!
Adorable!! I have bought the ingredients to try several of your recipes. My husband, who passed away 11 years ago was from Ewing, Virginia, which is near you. My thoughts and prayers are with you and your family during your first Christmas without your husband. I still remember mine, putting up our tree (my son was 12) which brings up all the memories of past Christmases.
I can't wait to try this out this year. Even though we may have different spiritual views regarding salvation, I love seeing how passionate you are, and how unafraid you are to tell people about it.
I’ve been making this type of candy for at least 36 years and my recipe is the same except it calls for wax in the chocolate. It doesn’t affect the taste and it helps keep the form and from them melting together. I’ve always known these candies simply as “Dipped Candy”. It’s nice to learn the actual name.
I know that you made this last year, but I just found you yesterday. Growing up I had a very good friend whose mom used to make these and Davnity for me for Christmas. And I miss her. She had a heart of gold. And she was the best!!! My mother used to make Davinity and burned up her cheaper brands of stand mixers. She stopped making it years ago. Her recipe came from her great grandmother. I thank you for sharing this and bringing back many fond memories for me. 🙂
I made these last year how you showed, not this year - this year I patted the candy part into a parchment lined cookie sheet, put them in the fridge and let it harden - when I too it out I cut them into squares and dipped, sprinkled with white chocolate sprinkles - It was so much easier! I love this recipe, they are so delicious, everyone I give them to loved them also - I just wanted to share my twist on it with you : ) Merry Christmas and you and your family are in my prayers - Hugs!
I was thinking the same thing, it would be just as good and much easier. I bet they'd even be good pressed onto a prebaked crust with chocolate on top then you'd have pretty layers showing.
Oh my gosh ! This recipe just took my gift baskets to a new level. I’m doing a small test batch with the grand girls and then it’s on. Thank you for sharing . God Bless
I just saw this video. My mother used to make these when she was here and I've been making them for probably 40 years. We call them Martha Washington Delights. Some people don't like coconut and you can leave that out of you want to and you can use walnuts. It make a ton. ❤️
I never liked coconut, but still craved these candies! The coconut texture was changed in the chocolates. I found out that I loved unsweetened coconut, though, and keep a big bag in my freezer for snacks now. I even like coconut cake now, by making it myself with unsweetened coconut.
Hi, I love to make candy. The Martha Washington candy is a new recipe for me. I appreciate you! Love the beautiful picture in the background. You certainly got my subscription when you mentioned Jesus! I'm so glad you are a sister in Christ. I wish you and yours. Peace , Love and Joy in 2019 God Bless you and yours! 🌈 🌈
Amen! It's so heart warming when you are on YT and you find a sister or brother in Christ that truly puts Jesus first. Thank you Heavenly Father, for the gift of your son, Jesus. Blessing's to all in the name of Jesus. May you HE bless you always, in all ways.
Thank you for being so verbal with your instructions! I am totally blind and was able to make this candy after listening to your video. Thank you! I love baking and now I can make candy since you recommended using the small crockpot for dipping. It is so much easier! Thank you!!!
I have made these and have always been favorites of family and friends. I use the same recipe leave out the coconut add black walnuts!! My Daughter asks for those every Christmas. If you can’t find or afford the black Walnuts , Just use the English walnuts. I’m extremely fortunate to have a friend who is 82 that shucks the Black Walnuts from his tree. Good luck. I ABSOLUTELY LOVE THE HILLBILLY COOKING SITE.
@@suzannesiem743 I used to make a black walnut pound cake for my mother. I only made it at Christmas, and she loved it. The recipe was on the package of black walnuts.
I made these this Christmas for family and gave them out as gifts . They were a hit. Thank you for the recipe and the inspiration. ( P.S. in case anyone was worried I did it using sterilization protocols and was masked and gloved each step including porch deliveries. It was a little awkward but worth the joy of sharing with family even if we were social distancing!)
I enjoy all of your cooking videos so much! Your so honest and down to earth I feel like you are one of my family members. This candy was making me drool so I will have to try it out. Thank you so much for your wonderful recipes!
Could probably use those mini crocks for melting, and keeping melted, your candle wax. One for candy and one for candles! Perfect! Thanks. Been praying for y'all. All my love.
This takes me back!! My grandmother taught me how to make these and I thought for the longest time that my family was the only one that knew of them hahah. LOVE Martha washingtons!!! We have them every Christmas ❤️❤️
So glad to have this recipe! I used to enjoy these 40 years ago and made them with family but I lost the recipe through the years. So glad to have it again. I’ll be making some soon!
Thank you! I have been making candy as special gifts for over 60 of my 78 years. Believe it or not this is the first time to run across this recipe. Giant molded truffles is my specialty. I am thrilled to find and try your recipe. :-) I am off to subscribe. Again *THANK YOU!*
My mama used to make these when I was young (long ago!😜), and even the people who don’t care for nuts and/or coconut still LOVED them!!! I only ever made them a couple of times, but hopefully you have inspired me to try it again!☺️🙏❤️
I live in south Texas and am able to buy Mexican vanilla. It is pure vanilla and tastes great! The cost is usually cheaper too, especially if you buy it in large amounts.
as we say in Boston that was wicked cool I'm gonna make those for my daughters this Christmas they are grown and married now and I really never know what to get them God bless you and thank you so much for a great idea
God Bless You Becky. Thank you for caring about others during what must be a very difficult Christmas season. Praise God for helping you to get through it all. I will keep you in my prayers. Merry Christmas.
Becky I love this Martha Washington candies,these are so yummy and delicious thanks for sharing this recipe with us God/Jesus Bless you and your family ❤❤❤
Girl!!! You are much, much more interesting and explain any recipe more precise than anyone on TV...You are amazing! 💖 idea; can you sprinkle a little sea salt on them or would it not be a welcome flavor? Thank you! 🙏🏻
If you freeze the candy before dipping it makes it alot easier...and place dipped piece back on cold tray...they set up a little...then keep in freezer until ready to serve
It's not even near Christmas and I am watching. Just subscribed thought I had but now I know for sure I did. It is nice to remember older things that folks use to do and some of us still do. Refresh the ideas of giving of course. Plus listening to you and hearing your faith is a great way to relax and let the craziness of the world just fade for a little bit and get back to loving each other. Thank you so much.
Love the candy, I used to make something similar, when I was younger used to make breads, cookies, fudge and jellies make up boxes and send to family and friends for Christmas, used 50 lbs flour, white sugar, 10 dozen eggs, 20 lbs powdered sugar, 10 lbs nuts, etc then shipping all in all thought it was a great gift especially if the person that received it was working and didn't have time to cook. Thank you for sharing will have to try this recipe love coconut, and as always love and laughter, and God Bless.
I AM NEW TO YOUR SITE AND REALLY AM ENLOYING THE SLOW EASY MANNER IN WHICH YOU TEACH. BUT, WHEN I HEARD YOU OPENLY SAY TO NOT FORGET TO SHARE JESUS CHRIST ------WELL, NOW I L-O-V-E YOUR SITE AND WILL CONTINUE TO WATCH AS LONG AS I HEAR YOU PRAISE OUR WONDERFUL SAVIOR. THANK YOU.
I used to make several batches at Christmas way back in the 80's. I wish that I had known about the scoop technique then. I rolled every one of them and then chilled them and dipped them the next day. I gave them to people that I didn't buy gifts for (neighbors, mailman, etc), plus each of my siblings families got a container that included fudge, coconut strawberries, pralines, and MW candy. Most people had never heard of MW candy and loved it. I chopped my pecans a lot smaller, it made it easier to roll. I may make some. My family still asks every year if I'm ever gonna make it again.Thank you.
Martha Washington was gifted a handwritten cookbook when she married her first husband Custise. She added to it during her life and was kept for years at Mount Vernon. It has been recently been published. "Martha Washingtons Booke of Cookery and Booke of Sweetmeats," by Martha Washington was transcribed by a historian who is very knowledgeable about historic cooking methods. It has George on the cover eating cherry pie! Its a great book and very interesting!
I learned this year, to use my insta pot as a double boiler. You put 2 cups of water in the pan. (That water level never changed,cover the three days I turned it on and off, for my multiple projects). You put it on saute. Place a bowl over it, that is big enough to fit in the top f the pot, but never have it touch the water. As soon as you see steam, and hear it bubbling, turn it to warm, and keep it on warm the entire time. I loved the convenience of this method, with no chance to burn the chocolate.
Oh my goodness Becky I will make these with my granddaughter next holiday season. We always bake cut out sugar cookies and decorate them. It is a family tradition going back to my grandmother. These are so simple and those kiddos love chocolate. We can put my grandson on sprinkle duty. I always hit the stores for the decorations when they are on sale because we go through a lot of them. Thank you so much for sharing all of your recipes and may God bless you and your family now and in the new year.
I love this candy Becky. I love that you use real vanilla. It is skt high & worth it. If people can afford a big bottle, you can find it less expensive per ounce. 💘 🙏
Thank you for sharing this recipe an for sharing Jesus Christ with all your viewers,I love my savior in Christ an thank him for stretching out his arms an dying on the cross for our sins .I also want to say the picture is absolutely beautiful God bless you an your family
My Mother-in-law always made these every Christmas! Now I make these every Christmas! My son fell I love with this candy and wanted it every year. My Mother always made Fudge every year and I also make that…only thing though! I make them the ‘easy way’ with the “Two Ingredient Fudge” like you made a tutorial on! That’s really good fudge and it’s so easy!! Thank you Becky! Merry Christmas to you and your kids and your grandkids, and hoping and praying that you guys have a Happy And Blessed New Year!!

I love these things. I told my daughter about them one year. She made a big batch and when forming them she get tired of making them small and made some really large ones. She gave me a bunch and I love chocolate an coconut so I really enjoyed them!
I AM 84 YEARS OLD--MY MAMA MADE THIS WHEN I WAS A LITTLE GIRL. OH, SO GOOD.
*This world has been given the greatest gift ever.*

I have a block of Gulf wax (paraffin) in my pantry for those old recipes like that!

I made these last year how you showed, not this year - this year I patted the candy part into a parchment lined cookie sheet, put them in the fridge and let it harden - when I too it out I cut them into squares and dipped, sprinkled with white chocolate sprinkles - It was so much easier! I love this recipe, they are so delicious, everyone I give them to loved them also - I just wanted to share my twist on it with you : ) Merry Christmas and you and your family are in my prayers - Hugs!
I was thinking the same thing, it would be just as good and much easier. I bet they'd even be good pressed onto a prebaked crust with chocolate on top then you'd have pretty layers showing.
@@lennybuttz2162 oh, now that sounds tasty!
Oh my gosh ! This recipe just took my gift baskets to a new level. I’m doing a small test batch with the grand girls and then it’s on. Thank you for sharing . God Bless
I just saw this video. My mother used to make these when she was here and I've been making them for probably 40 years. We call them Martha Washington Delights. Some people don't like coconut and you can leave that out of you want to and you can use walnuts. It make a ton. ❤️
I never liked coconut, but still craved these candies! The coconut texture was changed in the chocolates. I found out that I loved unsweetened coconut, though, and keep a big bag in my freezer for snacks now. I even like coconut cake now, by making it myself with unsweetened coconut.
Thank you for sharing Jesus with the world 💜 I'm hungry for these now!!!
Hi, I love to make candy. The Martha Washington candy is a new recipe for me. I appreciate you!
Love the beautiful picture in the background. You certainly got my subscription when you mentioned Jesus!
I'm so glad you are a sister in Christ.
I wish you and yours.
Peace , Love and Joy in 2019
God Bless you and yours! 🌈 🌈

Thank you for being so verbal with your instructions! I am totally blind and was able to make this candy after listening to your video. Thank you! I love baking and now I can make candy since you recommended using the small crockpot for dipping. It is so much easier! Thank you!!!
Thanks so much for the crock-pot idea on the chocolate!!!! Christmas candy is going to be so much easier this year!!
I made my candy up ahead of time and freeze it...then dip the frozen candies later. This has always worked well for me.
I have made these and have always been favorites of family and friends. I use the same recipe leave out the coconut add black walnuts!! My Daughter asks for those every Christmas. If you can’t find or afford the black Walnuts , Just use the English walnuts.
I’m extremely fortunate to have a friend who is 82 that shucks the Black Walnuts from his tree.
Good luck. I ABSOLUTELY LOVE THE HILLBILLY COOKING SITE.
@@suzannesiem743 I used to make a black walnut pound cake for my mother. I only made it at Christmas, and she loved it. The recipe was on the package of black walnuts.
I know what a great idea.
The hardest part is always when the chocolate isn’t melted anymore, she just solved that problem.
Yes, Share the good news of Jesus!
Thank you for sharing this recipe!

I made these this Christmas for family and gave them out as gifts . They were a hit. Thank you for the recipe and the inspiration. ( P.S. in case anyone was worried I did it using sterilization protocols and was masked and gloved each step including porch deliveries. It was a little awkward but worth the joy of sharing with family even if we were social distancing!)
I enjoy all of your cooking videos so much! Your so honest and down to earth I feel like you are one of my family members. This candy was making me drool so I will have to try it out. Thank you so much for your wonderful recipes!
Could probably use those mini crocks for melting, and keeping melted, your candle wax. One for candy and one for candles! Perfect! Thanks. Been praying for y'all. All my love.
I am so blessed to have found your channel. Yes..always put God first in EVERYTHING you do...He will bless you in return. Merry Christmas to all.
This takes me back!! My grandmother taught me how to make these and I thought for the longest time that my family was the only one that knew of them hahah. LOVE Martha washingtons!!! We have them every Christmas ❤️❤️
So glad to have this recipe! I used to enjoy these 40 years ago and made them with family but I lost the recipe through the years. So glad to have it again. I’ll be making some soon!
Thank you! I have been making candy as special gifts for over 60 of my 78 years. Believe it or not this is the first time to run across this recipe. Giant molded truffles is my specialty. I am thrilled to find and try your recipe. :-)
I am off to subscribe. Again *THANK YOU!*
Welcome to the Hillbilly Kitchen!!!
My mama used to make these when I was young (long ago!😜), and even the people who don’t care for nuts and/or coconut still LOVED them!!! I only ever made them a couple of times, but hopefully you have inspired me to try it again!☺️🙏❤️
I live in south Texas and am able to buy Mexican vanilla. It is pure vanilla and tastes great! The cost is usually cheaper too, especially if you buy it in large amounts.
Amen! He Is The Reason For The Season. Thanks for sharing these candies. God Bless Y'all.
Your tip for using the small crock pot to melt and dip the candy is pure gold!! I have never thought to do that. Great idea thanks so much.
Real vanilla is a must! This candy is so easy and delicious!❤️
Could you use almond instead of vanilla?
I use the same crockpot for thanksgiving, I put my gravy in it to keep it warm
Those small crockpot are great for some many things. Crockpots will keep mashed potatoes hot while you tend to other dishes .
@@kateslippers8289 crock pot is an excellent idea
as we say in Boston that was wicked cool I'm gonna make those for my daughters this Christmas they are grown and married now and I really never know what to get them God bless you and thank you so much for a great idea
God Bless You Becky. Thank you for caring about others during what must be a very difficult Christmas season. Praise God for helping you to get through it all. I will keep you in my prayers. Merry Christmas.
I have been looking for this recipe since the 70's thank you so much
Me too! My mom n dad use to make these in the 60s n 70s.. 😀
Add cherries in a jar. So much better!

Tell me more please, tell me more...
Merry Christmas ~! Jesus is the reason for the season!! Thank you for sharing this with us.
If someone takes the time from their lives ,you know you have something great.
God bless ♡
Becky I love this Martha Washington candies,these are so yummy and delicious thanks for sharing this recipe with us God/Jesus Bless you and your family ❤❤❤
Girl!!! You are much, much more interesting and explain any recipe more precise than anyone on TV...You are amazing! 💖
idea; can you sprinkle a little sea salt on them or would it not be a welcome flavor?
Thank you! 🙏🏻
God bless you all and Merry Christmas to you
you, very simply, need your own cooking/baking show. Thanks. Loved this.
If you freeze the candy before dipping it makes it alot easier...and place dipped piece back on cold tray...they set up a little...then keep in freezer until ready to serve
You are so relatable and down to Earth.
Hi from Syracuse NY everyone and thank you for sharing your thoughts and your adventures in cooking and everyone else
I send my brothers in another state homemade candy my taught me to make. She's passed away so they really enjoy it.
So glad to have this recipe. My Mom used to make these. Now I can too!!! Merry Christmas!!!
Hope you enjoy Merry Christmas!
It's not even near Christmas and I am watching. Just subscribed thought I had but now I know for sure I did. It is nice to remember older things that folks use to do and some of us still do. Refresh the ideas of giving of course. Plus listening to you and hearing your faith is a great way to relax and let the craziness of the world just fade for a little bit and get back to loving each other. Thank you so much.
Thank you for subscribing. Welcome to The Hillbilly Kitchen and God bless you!
When I was growing up my mother made Martha Washington Candy for Christmas. Miss those days.
Love the candy, I used to make something similar, when I was younger used to make breads, cookies, fudge and jellies make up boxes and send to family and friends for Christmas, used 50 lbs flour, white sugar, 10 dozen eggs, 20 lbs powdered sugar, 10 lbs nuts, etc then shipping all in all thought it was a great gift especially if the person that received it was working and didn't have time to cook. Thank you for sharing will have to try this recipe love coconut, and as always love and laughter, and God Bless.
I love making candy to give away for the Holidays. This gives me another kind to make. Thank you for sharing with us. God Bless Ya'll.
This candy is so addictive oh , so good ! It's like a rich creamy mounds candy ! Made for Easter.
It's one of my favorites!
Everyone enjoys home made. What a total surprise when they learn the recipe is 150 years old. Thank you
I AM NEW TO YOUR SITE AND REALLY AM ENLOYING THE SLOW EASY MANNER IN WHICH YOU TEACH. BUT, WHEN I HEARD YOU OPENLY SAY TO NOT FORGET TO SHARE JESUS CHRIST ------WELL, NOW I L-O-V-E YOUR SITE AND WILL CONTINUE TO WATCH AS LONG AS I HEAR YOU PRAISE OUR WONDERFUL SAVIOR. THANK YOU.
I used to make several batches at Christmas way back in the 80's. I wish that I had known about the scoop technique then. I rolled every one of them and then chilled them and dipped them the next day. I gave them to people that I didn't buy gifts for (neighbors, mailman, etc), plus each of my siblings families got a container that included fudge, coconut strawberries, pralines, and MW candy. Most people had never heard of MW candy and loved it. I chopped my pecans a lot smaller, it made it easier to roll. I may make some. My family still asks every year if I'm ever gonna make it again.Thank you.
You go girl!
Teena Pittman now I want to know what is “MW candy” ?
@@angieevansortizlopez Martha Washington candy
Coconut strawberries?
Martha Washington was gifted a handwritten cookbook when she married her first husband Custise. She added to it during her life and was kept for years at Mount Vernon. It has been recently been published. "Martha Washingtons Booke of Cookery and Booke of Sweetmeats," by Martha Washington was transcribed by a historian who is very knowledgeable about historic cooking methods. It has George on the cover eating cherry pie! Its a great book and very interesting!
Thank you! I will looking for a copy now
I love homemade gifts best to give or receive. It's so meaningful that someone took the time and effort and cared enough to make something special.
I learned this year, to use my insta pot as a double boiler. You put 2 cups of water in the pan. (That water level never changed,cover the three days I turned it on and off, for my multiple projects). You put it on saute. Place a bowl over it, that is big enough to fit in the top f the pot, but never have it touch the water. As soon as you see steam, and hear it bubbling, turn it to warm, and keep it on warm the entire time. I loved the convenience of this method, with no chance to burn the chocolate.
Love your picture in the background. Thank you for the awesome idea on the crock-pot. ♥️God Bless Y'all ♥️♥️♥️
Thank you for this recipe. I lost my Mom in March, and she used to make this every Christmas.
Oh my goodness Becky I will make these with my granddaughter next holiday season. We always bake cut out sugar cookies and decorate them. It is a family tradition going back to my grandmother. These are so simple and those kiddos love chocolate. We can put my grandson on sprinkle duty. I always hit the stores for the decorations when they are on sale because we go through a lot of them. Thank you so much for sharing all of your recipes and may God bless you and your family now and in the new year.
I love this candy Becky. I love that you use real vanilla. It is skt high & worth it. If people can afford a big bottle, you can find it less expensive per ounce. 💘 🙏
Very clear and thorough instructions. Thank you!
Thank you for sharing this recipe an for sharing Jesus Christ with all your viewers,I love my savior in Christ an thank him for stretching out his arms an dying on the cross for our sins .I also want to say the picture is absolutely beautiful God bless you an your family
Watching this takes me back to my Midwest roots. Love all the explaining, can't wait to try this recipe.
My mom and I have made these for 30 years or more. We have always called them goofballs. They are so good and I look forward to them every year.
This was my Mom’s favorite candy. She always made it a Christmas time.
I've been making these for over 30 years with the same ingredients and they turn out excellent
You have the best recipes. Instead of shopping the black Friday deals I will be making candy. Happy holidays.
Thank you for watching and your kind words. God bless you and your family!
My Mother-in-law always made these every Christmas! Now I make these every Christmas! My son fell I love with this candy and wanted it every year. My Mother always made Fudge every year and I also make that…only thing though! I make them the ‘easy way’ with the “Two Ingredient Fudge” like you made a tutorial on! That’s really good fudge and it’s so easy!! Thank you Becky! Merry Christmas to you and your kids and your grandkids, and hoping and praying that you guys have a Happy And Blessed New Year!!
