More sugar! Halloween is over, but we're not quite finished with the candy. We saw a slideshow of photographer Craig Kanarick's work over at Saveur and thought it was pretty sweet. We could see these prints in a modern kitchen (or, if you really want to drive your kids crazy, a child's room). Take a look... More

Candy corn is one of those Halloween treats that you either love or hate. We happen to enjoy those stratified orange triangles, and have been excited to try out hand at making them at home. But we quickly realized, making candy corn at home it is a great deal like art class in 3rd grade: a little messy, a little fun, but mainly... More

Halloween is this Saturday! Have you been surrounding yourself with candy corn and other trick or treat candy? Do you have a favorite Halloween candy, and do you incorporate it into your snacking (and cooking!) this time of year? More

Our boss, Maxwell, is on a hunt. He is looking for the very, very best toffee in the country. A recipe would be great, but we're also looking for a great commercial source — somewhere that makes artisan-quality, incredibly yummy holiday toffee. Do you have a tip for us? More

Here's a really fun question from Merry123, who writes:

We're in search of really good candy recipes that will hold up in shape, appearance, and taste in warm weather for my older kids (preteen/teens) to make for county fair projects. In past years they've made fudge, mocha truffles, candied orange pecans, chocolate covered marshmallows from the Martha Stewart website, and pâtes de fruit. They're open to new ideas and challenges.

We helped cook for a big graduation party a couple of weeks ago, and ever since then we've been waiting for the right time to give you this recipe. It's hard to describe how good these little morsels of creamy coconut and lime are, so you'll have to trust us. More

As kids, my brother and I used to beg our mother to make caramel popcorn. We loved melting down the hot caramel topping and then taking turns shaking the brown paper bag as hard as we could until each kernel was coated with a sticky, toffee-like layer. Waiting for the popcorn to cool enough to eat down was just torture! The only difference making it these days is that now we don't have to beg... More

Remember those Rice Krispie eggs from Bouchhon Bakery that we showed you around Easter? That was a rather easy recipe for colorful crispy eggs. This is one more recipe from Bouchon Bakery. They have these on sale for Mother's Day, but here we have their secret recipe. It's a little more complicated than the Krispie eggs, but it's also a fascinating look inside how professional confections are made. More

Do you have any recipes that take you straight back to childhood? These peanut butter balls are one of those for us. But they're not just an exercise in nostalgia: these quick, easy little snacks are nearly irresistible, so sweet with honey and crispy with coconut and malted milk. More

It's almost Chinese New Year! The Lunar New Year falls on Monday, January 26, this year, and we're eager to talk about the food. Chinese New Year may be one of the most food-centric holidays in the world; the variety, significance, and sheer quantity of food at New Year celebrations is overwhelming! We'll have more good ideas and recipe links for Chinese New Year later today, but first: here is a favorite from our archives with updated pictorial instructions.

Blood orange jelly smiles are a fun, easy, and (bonus!) rather healthy treat for New Year celebrations. Here is how to make them. More
