There is a chocolate company making reddish and bluish candies similar to m&ms that don’t have the dyes. I’m gonna look for them so I can make this (white chic haystacks) for the 4th. Very cool idea. I have one son who is crazy for white chocolate. One child needs gf pretzels but THEY EXIST. This is a great yummy idea, maybe even to leave them in the freezer until serving, if it’s hot.

And I’m on to make your blueberry buckle tonight. This is Liz day at my house, lol.

Cute....”Liz Day” at Yaelle’s house.

The haystacks are very tasty. I hope you can find the dye-less additions to carry out the r/w/b theme.

You could even use dried cranberries and blueberries for the r/w/b theme——if consuming them isn’t a problem at your house. They probably use chemicals in the drying process.

Some of the gourmet markets carry all types of g/f stuff.....and online, of course.

Mmmmm.....the thought of that blueberry buckle makes my mouth water.

Surfing around my recipes, I found this....for the white chocolate maven at your house.

White Chocolate Candy Bars

All it is is melted white chocolate with dried apricots, splash of orange juice,
some orange zest, and chp pistachio nuts added. An easy confection; just mix
together, spread into pan; set.

Makes 8x8" pan of squares--or cut into any size you like. The thin long bars
(shown in picture) or small squares are very nice. Store in refrigerator.

He would totally love this.

Please look at my stomach right now. It is sticking out from the two pieces of your blueberry buckle I had tonight. Oh my gosh. So good. We all loved saying buckle. Which was almost as fun as eating it. I made whipped cream with it which I didn’t even eat but it was loved. It was delicious.

Sounds like my fave dessert is now your fave dessert——the “buckle” part of Blueberry Buckle is fun. A classic New England dessert. Adding the dollop of cream was a good idea.

The best part of the candy bar recipe is that it’s healthy.....just fruit and nuts embedded in luscious wh/chocolate. I love the Ghiradelli wh/chocolate.....so creamy.

Someday soon I’ll post the method I invented to temper chocolate w/out all the mess usually involved.

Love your stuff. Does your tempering involve a microwave?
