Ever created your own candy ??? And others really liked it????

I was wanting to do something new and exciting this year. But the same old cookies and such were just a drag. So I created my own candy.

So, don't keep us in suspence. Tell us more about your candy invention. Please.

So, what recipe did you create?! Please share the recipe with us.  Don't keep us high and dry....

It's funny that you mention creating your own candy. I made pecan pie the other day and had leftover scraps of dough. I thought what could I do different with this. I rolled out the dough and covered it with butter cinnamon and sugar. Then I added dates and nuts. I rolled it up as best as I could and cut it into slices. Then I put it in the oven and baked it till I thought the crust was done. My husband thought they were good. I tried them myself and they were okay but I thought they needed a little more flavor. So next time I am going to try adding some flavorings and spices.

Well, we never think our own cooking or baking is as good as others do.  You have a great idea and I bet your husband was right that they were good....

Then melt each fourth of bark and pour in to a waxed paper lined loaf pan. Sprinkle one of the selected candies over the melted bark layer. don't add too much candy as the bark layers wont cling together. Alternate the chocolate and white bark and add different layers of candy between each . Chill after each layer of bark is spread and sprinkled with candy. Alternate sweet layers with salty layers.
