I know there is a recipe out there for doubling a lb. of butter with oil but I do not know the exact measurements or if you add anything else. Help. With the price of butter I need to double mine to make it last longer. Barb

I'm looking for a recipe for a mailable cake. My daughter's birthday is coming up. She's serving in Iraq. Packages usually take 8 to 10 days to get there. How long does a chocolate torte keep at room temperature? Can I bake a cake in a tin box, the kind cookies come in?

What would be the best way to make a small, edible Fire Truck made out of unwrapped candy to give to FireFighters on Christmas Day. This would need to be a craft that children age 5-10 could make without glue (perhaps double stick tape or something of the like).

Place caramels and milk in a microwave safe bowl, and microwave 2 minutes, stirring once. Allow to cool briefly.

Ingredients
Directions
Insert a wooden craft stick into the bottom of each apple. Butter a baking sheet and set aside. Combine sugar, corn syrup and water in a heavy saucepan over medium heat. Heat, without stirring, to 270 to 290 degrees F (132 to 143 degrees C), or until a small amount of syrup dropped into cold water forms hard but pliable threads. Remove from heat and stir in candies and food coloring until just mixed. Holding each apple by its stick, quickly twirl in syrup, tilting pan to cover apple. Lift out of syrup, turning to allow drips to adhere to apple. Place apples on prepared baking sheet to cool completely.

Ingredients
Directions
Take a bag of the small size candy bars. Roughly chop them in half. Put in microwavable bowl and warm just until candy will flatten between fingers. (Be careful to not over heat and burn your fingers.) Place between two vanilla wafers and lightly press wafers together. Take six small pretzel sticks and press into candy, three on each side for legs. Frost top vanilla wafer. Use M&M's or cake candy decoraions for eyes. (You can just mix small amount of chocolate in the vanilla frosting to use for eyes.) To make M&M's or cake candies stick well, dab bottoms with small amount of extra icing.

Chocolate Marshmallow Holiday Treats
A quick and easy snack/treat that you can customize for any time of year is MARSHMALLOWS. I just made a batch for my girls halloween party at school. Take some Popsicle sticks and place them in the marshmallows. Melt some chocolate. I used white chocolate chips and added food coloring to make them orange for pumpkins, green for Frankenstein, etc. You can use any color.
Anyhow, you just dip the marshmallows in the melted chocolate and place on wax paper. let harden and then decorate with those icing tubes or while still wet roll in sprinkles, nuts etc.
I will also be making them for Christmas. Placing two marshmallows on a stick and just adding some colored chocolate for a hat, a couple of eyes and some buttons, using candies and the melted chocolate as glue. Also make some light brown chocolate by mixing white and dark and dip one mallow and then add some broken pretzels for antlers, a red candy for a nose and there you have Rudolph. There are a great many things you can make with these and the kids just go nuts for them. it only took me about an hour to make 120 of them for the party. Easy and delicious.

Ingredients
Directions
Mix cheese cake according to directions until thick. Mix a little yellow and red food coloring together and add to cheese cake mixture and stir until blended to an orange color.
Crush cookies in a gallon ziploc bag real well, putting aside enough to cover the top of the cake. Use the rest to line the bottom of the cake pan as the crust.
Put the cake mix topping on top of the cookie crumbs and spread it out then add, the rest of the cookie crumbs, then stick gummie worms down into the cake, standing just a little, then chill until ready to serve. Great recipe for a kids halloween party.
