My fave tips and recipes
Hey, I’m Kim!
After a lot of practice (and a few sticky disasters), I’ve crafted a delicious selection of lollies and mastered a ton of candy making tips to share with you—lump free. (You’re welcome.)
Copycat Eatmore Bars
There’s something nostalgic and comforting about the foods we loved as kids.
For me, the Eatmore bar is right at the top of that list of childhood favourites. Growing up, it was my go-to treat whenever we’d head out fishing for the day. Packed with peanuts and chewy goodness, it gave just the right boost of energy but also felt like a special treat.
What I’ve always loved about the Eatmore bar is that it somehow feels a little healthier than your average chocolate bar—less sugar rush, more satisfying chew. It’s loaded with protein-rich peanuts and has that deep, molassesy flavor that really sticks with you (in the best way). This homemade version brings all that nostalgic taste back, with simple ingredients you can feel good about.
Let’s make this chewy classic together—because some treats are too good to be forgotten.
Almond Bark
It doesn’t get much easier than this.
If you're looking for a quick, foolproof treat that looks fancy but takes hardly any effort, almond bark is the answer. This recipe is as easy as it gets—melt, spread, sprinkle and you're done. I usually make mine with white and semi sweet chocolate because I love how it pairs with the toasted almonds, but honestly, use whatever chocolate you like best. White, dark, milk, semi-sweet—they all work beautifully. Whether you're whipping up a last-minute holiday gift or just craving something sweet and crunchy, this almond bark hits the spot every time.
Cookies & Cream Truffles
Oreos, but make them fancy.
Want an up-scale little sweet and zero desire to haul out your candy thermometer? Same. These no-bake cookies & cream truffles are about to become your new favorite treat. We’re talking creamy, dreamy bites of Oreo goodness that come together with just a few ingredients and barely any effort. No oven, no fuss—just mix, roll, chill, and try not to eat them all at once (good luck with that). Plus they look fancy so set these out at your next party for a crowd pleaser. No need to mention they were super easy to make, just remember to raise those pinkies when you eat them.

Jello Marshmallow Jigglers
If you're looking for a simple, fun, and delicious treat that kids can make, Jello Marshmallow Jigglers are the perfect choice! With just two ingredients—Jello mix and marshmallows—you can create colorful, wobbly, and fluffy treats that are as fun to eat as they are to make.
Jello Marshmallow Jigglers are a delightful twist on classic Jello jigglers. By combining Jello with melted marshmallows, you get a soft, bouncy treat with a unique, foamy texture on top and a firmer, jiggly layer on the bottom. These treats are perfect for parties, playdates, or just a fun kitchen activity with the kids.
Meltaway Butter Mints
These little butter mints melt right in your mouth, I dare you to eat just one! I have adjusted this recipe so you don’t have to haul out the mixer, just melt the butter instead and mix together the ingredients in one bowl. A fun dough that resembles play dough starts to form and from there, you choose the colours and shapes for these mints. These are great to have on hand when you are hosting, or they make a beautiful gift when presented in a jar or box. Either way, these will be appreciated as a sweet little minty treat.
Salted Peanut Butter Cup Fudge
If you enjoy peanut butter cups, you will love this fudge! A rich, smooth layer of peanut butter fudge, topped with salted chocolate ganache will make this decadent treat a favourite. This type of fudge is using sweetened condensed milk, so it is incredibly creamy and no-fail!!

These homemade turtles will be the hit of any gathering you bring these to! With three delicious components, this is an easy, Christmas candy that the kids will love to help make and enjoy.
Peppermint Patties
