Title: Baby Ruth® candy Bar

Beneath the chocolate of Nestlés popular candy bar
is a chewy, peanut-covered center that resembles
Hershey's PayDay. To clone this one we'll only have
to make a couple adjustments to the PayDay clone recipe,
then add the milk chocolate coating. Even though the
wrapper of this candy bar calls the center "nougat,"
it's more of a white or blonde fudge that you can make
in a saucepan on your stovetop with a candy thermometer.

Centers
1/4 cup whole milk
5 unwrapped caramels
1 tablespoon light corn syrup
1 teaspoon butter
1/4 teaspoon vanilla
1/8 teaspoon salt
1 1/4 cups powdered sugar

20 unwrapped caramels
1 1/2 teaspoons water
2 cups dry roasted peanuts
1 12-ounce bag milk chocolate chips

1. Combine all ingredients for the centers, except the
powdered sugar, in a small saucepan over low heat. Stir
often as the caramel slowly melts. When the mixture is smooth,
add 3/4 cup of powdered sugar. Stir. Save the remaining 1/2
cup of powdered sugar for later.
2. Use a candy thermometer to bring the mixture to exactly 230
degrees, stirring often, then turn off the heat.
3. When the temperature of the candy begins to drop, add the
remaining 1/2 cup powdered sugar to the pan, then use a hand
mixer on high speed to combine. Keep mixing until the candy
cools and thickens and can no longer be mixed. That should take
a minute or two.
4. Let the candy cool in the pan for 10 to 15 minutes, or until
it can be touched. Don't let it sit too long - you want the candy
to still be warm and pliable when you shape it. Take a
tablespoon-size portion and roll it between your palms or on a
countertop until it forms a roll the width of your index finger,
and measuring about 4 1/2-inches long. Repeat with the remaining
center candy mixture and place the rolls on wax paper. You should
have 8 rolls. Let the center rolls sit out for an hour or two to
firm up.
5. Combine the 20 caramels with the 1 1/2 teaspoons of water in a
small saucepan over low heat. Stir often until the caramels melt
completely, then turn off the heat. If you work fast this caramel
will stay warm while you make the candy bars.
6. Pour the peanuts onto a baking sheet or other flat surface.
Using a basting brush and working quickly, "paint" a coating of
caramel onto one side of a center roll. Quickly turn the center
over, caramel side down, onto the peanuts and press gently so that
the peanuts stick to the surface of the candy. Paint more caramel
onto the other side of the roll and press it down onto the peanuts.
The candy should have a solid layer of peanuts covering all sides.
If needed, brush additional caramel onto the roll, then turn it onto
the peanuts to coat the roll completely. Place the candy bar onto
wax paper, and repeat with the remaining ingredients. Place these
bars into your refrigerator for an hour or two so that they firm up.
7. Pour the milk chocolate chips into a glass or ceramic bowl and zap
it in the microwave for 2 minutes on 50 percent power. Gently stir the chips, then heat for an additional 30 seconds at 50 percent power. Repeat if necessary, stirring gently after each 30 seconds. Don't overcook the chips or the chocolate will burn and seize up on you.
8. Drop a candy bar center into the melted milk chocolate. Cover the
candy bar with chocolate using two forks, one in each hand. When
the candy is covered with chocolate, balance the bar on both of the
forks, one at each end of the candy bar, and tap the forks on the
top edge of the bowl so that much of the chocolate drops off.
Carefully place the candy bar onto wax paper and remove the two
forks. Repeat with the remaining ingredients, and then chill the
candy bars until firm.
Makes 8 candy bars.

Title: Fiddle Faddle® & Screaming Yellow Zonkers®

I know the most popular candy corn out there is Cracker Jack,
but my favorite has always been Screaming Yellow Zonkers and
Fiddle Fiddle from Lincoln Snacks Company. Fiddle Faddle is
butter toffee-coated popcorn with almonds thrown in. Screaming
Yellow Zonkers (you gotta love the name) is similar, but without
the almonds. The secret to the yellow coloring of the Zonkers:
buttered popcorn.

Fiddle Faddle (butter toffee with almonds)
3/4 cup granulated sugar
1/4 cup brown sugar
1/2 cup (1 stick) butter
1/2 cup corn syrup
1/2 cup water
1/2 teaspoon salt
1/2 teaspoon vanilla
1 1/3 bags plain or natural-flavored microwave popcorn
1/2 cup roasted almonds

Zonkers
1 cup granulated sugar
4 tablespoons butter
1/2 cup corn syrup
1/2 cup water
1/2 teaspoon salt
1/2 teaspoon vanilla
1 1/3 bags butter-flavored microwave popcorn

1. For either recipe, combine sugar, butter, corn syrup, water
and salt in a large saucepan over medium heat. You're going to
bring the candy to 265-275 degrees, or what is known as the hard
ball stage. For this it's best to use a candy thermometer. If you
don't have one, don't worry. Drip the candy into a small glass of
cold water. If the candy forms a very hard, yet slightly pliable
ball, bingo, you're there. Watch your mixture closely so that it
doesn't boil over.
2. While candy cooks, pop both bags of popcorn and spread about 2
quarts or 1 1/3 bags of popcorn (plus almonds for Fiddle Faddle)
on one large or two small cookie sheets. Put the popcorn in your
oven set on its lowest temperature. This will keep the popcorn hot
so that the candy will coat better.
3. When your candy has reached the hard ball stage, add the vanilla.
4. Pull the popcorn from the oven and, working quickly, pour the
candy over the popcorn in thin streams. Mix the popcorn so that
each kernel is coated with candy, put the popcorn back into the oven
for five more minutes, then stir once again. This will help to coat
each kernel. You can repeat this step once more if necessary to get
all of the popcorn coated. Pour popcorn onto a large sheet of wax
paper to cool. Spread the popcorn out, but be careful...it's hot.
5. When popcorn is cool, break it up and immediately put it into a
tightly sealed container, such as Tupperware. This will ensure that
it stays fresh. This stuff gets stale very quickly in moist climates
if left out.
Makes about 4 quarts.

Title: Hershey® PayDay® candy Bar

In December of 1996, Hershey Foods snagged the U.S. operations
of Leaf Brands for a pretty penny. This added several well
known candies to Hershey's already impressive roster, including
Good & Plenty, Jolly Rancher, Milk Duds, Whoppers, Heath, and
this delicious peanut roll, which we can finally clone at home.
The center is sort of a white fudge that we can make by combining
a few ingredients on the stove, then getting the mixture up to
just the right temperature using a candy thermometer (you've got
one, right?). Once cool, this candy center is coated with a thin
layer of caramel, then quickly pressed onto roasted peanuts.
Looks just like the real thing! This recipe will make eight
candy bars. But it's up to you to make the dental appointment.

Centers
1/4 cup whole milk
5 unwrapped caramels
1 tablespoon light corn syrup
1 teaspoon peanut butter
1/4 teaspoon vanilla
1/4 teaspoon salt
1 1/4 cups powdered sugar

20 unwrapped caramels
1 1/2 teaspoons water
2 cups dry roasted peanuts

1. Combine all ingredients for the centers, except the powdered
sugar, in a small saucepan over low heat. Stir often as the
caramel slowly melts. When the mixture is smooth, add 3/4 cup of
powdered sugar. Stir. Save the remaining 1/2 cup of powdered sugar
for later.
2. Use a candy thermometer to bring the mixture to exactly 230
degrees, stirring often, then turn off the heat.
3. When the temperature of the candy begins to drop, add the
remaining 1/2 cup powdered sugar to the pan, then use a hand mixer
on high speed to combine. Keep mixing until the candy cools and
thickens and can no longer be mixed. That should take a minute or
two.
4. Let the candy cool in the pan for 10 to 15 minutes, or until it
can be touched. Don't let it sit too long - you want the candy to
still be warm and pliable when you shape it. Take a tablespoon-size
portion and roll it between your palms or on a countertop until it
forms a roll the width of your index finger, and measuring about
4 1/2 inches long. Repeat with the remaining center candy mixture
and place the rolls on wax paper. You should have 8 rolls. Let the
center rolls sit out for an hour or two to firm up.
5. Combine the 20 caramels with the 1 1/2 teaspoons of water in a
small saucepan over low heat. Stir often until the caramels melt
completely, then turn off the heat. If you work fast this caramel
will stay warm while you make the candy bars.
6. Pour the peanuts onto a baking sheet or other flat surface.
Using a basting brush and working quickly, "paint" a coating of
caramel onto one side of a center roll. Quickly turn the center
over, caramel-side-down, onto the peanuts and press gently so that
the peanuts stick to the surface of the candy. Paint more caramel
onto the other side of the roll and press it down onto the peanuts.
The candy should have a solid layer of peanuts covering all sides.
If needed, brush additional caramel onto the roll, then turn it
onto the peanuts to coat the roll completely. Place the candy bar
onto wax paper, and repeat with the remaining ingredients. Eat
when completely cool.
Makes 8 candy bars.
