Sweet Holiday Treats

By Ellie Smith
Features Editor

Each year around the holidays, families enjoy creating holiday sweets including decorated sugar cookies and peppermint candies. Ever since I was young, my mom and I having been making these delicious holiday treats. One of my favorite seasonal snacks is Buttercrunch, a sweet dessert that combines the taste of caramel and delectable, rich dark chocolate.

Put these treats in small bags and give them away as gifts.

Ingredients:

  • 1 cup of butter
  • 1 cup of sugar
  • 1 tablespoon of white corn syrup
  • 1 teaspoon of vanilla
  • 1 cup of chocolate chips

Instructions:

1.First, soften butter in a large pot on the stove set to high temperature.

2.Add sugar, corn syrup and vanilla.

3.Stir ingredients often and continue to heat all 4 ingredients until melted. Continue to stir ingredients until they turn brown, constantly stirring to make sure they don’t burn.

4.Once brown, carefully pour the ingredients onto a large pan and spread with a spatula.

5.While the ingredients are still hot, pour on the chocolate chips.

6.Once the chocolate melts, spread it around with a spatula. Put the tray in a cold area and break into pieces once it hardens.
