10 in other words february18 2016 An Unusual Culinary Column: Another Fun Food Discovery By Karen Kain When I discovered that you could make edible shot glasses by melt- ing Jolly Rancher candies, I was pretty excited to give it a whirl. A plethora of ideas came into my head; cinnamon shot glasses with Fireball & Goldschlager shots. I thought of making chocolate shot glasses and filling them with choco- late mousse, prefect for most any party. You could also put Baileys and Godiva coffee liquor in the chocolate glasses. The alcohol takes on whatever the fla- vor of the shot glasses, so using plain vodka works nicely. My best friend’s 60th birthday is coming up and I thought that this would be a perfect conversation starter for the party. ral Path Health S er lo ca tio ces vi Na tu ne w Dr. Carol McIntyre Naturopathic & Chinese Medicine 503.429.3928 cccmnd@yahoo.com naturalpathhealthservices.com 758 Weed Avenue Vernonia, OR, 97064 n! I had a great time playing with these glasses, but I want to share with you some of the things I learned along the way. I bought a bunch of different candies to experiment with and found that Red Hots don’t work at all. I tried it three times and they just don’t melt. Jolly Ranchers were the easiest to bake and the glasses turn out really colorful. When you mix up the candy colors you will get a vibrant stained glass look. I also had success with butter- scotch and peppermint candies. They took a bit longer to melt, so I baked them at a higher temperature, for longer. I do not recommend cooking the Jolly Ranchers with other candies, because Jolly Ranchers melt the quickest. The peppermint turned out great with fun markings and the but- terscotch candy has a great flavor and color. All the glasses get a bit sticky after a few days of making them. Once they get wet they will be sticky, humidity will also make them sticky. This is great for parties, but defiantly a use once kind of thing. To make the shot glasses you need to get a mold. The mold that I found online was at wilton.com and it is called Cavity Round Silicone Shot Glass Mold, 570-0118 8 style green. For the peppermint and butterscotch candy - Preheat the oven to 375˚ F. Stuff the molds full of candies and place extra pieces on the top. Bake until the candy is totally melt- ed, about 20 minutes.

For the chocolate I used the Dolci Frutta melting chocolate. I had to make them twice because the first time I sprayed the mold with cooking spray and it left a funny color on the chocolate. The second time I tried it, I did not use any spray and it came out great. Just fol- low the directions from the container to melt the chocolate and pour into the mold right away. Tap the chocolate down a bit once you pour the chocolate in to make sure that the mold is completely full. Al- low the chocolate to fully harden before you remove from the mold. As always, I would love to hear what you are cooking. Karen Kain can be contacted at: karen- kain8@icloud.com Visit US today for all your financial needs!
