Sweet secrets delight local candy makers MARSHMALLOW CHOCOLATE PIZZA Class covers prize-winning fudge, microwave peanut brittle 2 cups semi-sweet chocolate chips 1 lb. white almond bark 2 cups mini marshmallows 1 cup Rice Krispies 1 cup peanuts By Kathleen Ellyn 8 oz. container candied red cherries Wallowa County Chieftain The secret (it turns out there are two secrets) to Viv- ian Tillman’s famous lemon fudge is out — to a select few. On Dec. 1, Tillman, along with Debera Warnock, both of Enterprise, taught a class in candy making at the Clover- leaf Hall in Enterprise and a dozen lucky participants got to make their own batch of the famous fudge to take home. Tillman’s fudge is a favor- ite fundraiser item. Just one 8-by-8-inch pan of the fudge sold for $100 after it won the 2012 Enterprise Winterfest Celebration Fudge Contest. Another batch went for $65 in the Lostine Grange Hall fund- raiser. Most recently, a batch sold for $25 in the 4-H radio auction. That last one was a good buy, given that Tillman esti- mates the cost of supplies for a double-batch comes to $35 if one pays full retail. “Shop on sale,” Tillman advised the group. All of the ingredients were available lo- cally — though grocers had to be asked to carry one secret ingredient. The basic recipe can be modi¿ed almost endlessly, Tillman said, and she brought two other Àavors based on the recipe to demonstrate that. “I’m going to try orange fudge this year,” she said, causing a chorus of ooos and ahhhs. Debera Warnock, 4-H, Youth and Family Develop- ment Agent for Oregon State University Extension Ser- vice, gave the participants two quick and easy recipes for peanut brittle and “pizza candy.” Both could be made in minutes using the microwave, as she and her daughter Deidre demonstrated. A crowd fa- vorite was the Marshmal- low Chocolate Pizza, which clearly had possibilities as a kid favorite with lots of tasty garnishes a child could safely assist with. Caprice Locke of Enter- prise, who attended the work- shop with two grandsons, was excited about “pizza candy.” “We’re going to be making candy with two granddaugh- ters over Christmas and we want to do it right,” Locke said. Warnock also had two tips for candy cooks: “My best tip for making candy is to be in a good mood to start with. If you’re cranky, it won’t work out. My second best tip is to have a sink full of hot soapy water ready to just dunk those sticky dishes in right away.” Both cooks agreed on a third secret to success: either use real butter in candy mak- ing or choose your margarine 8 oz. container candied green cherries Dec. 11-12 Tunesmith Night at Lear’s Main Street Grill, 111 W.
