The kids are happy but mom isn't. The holidays have arrived and she has to keep the kids entertained. What is she going to do? Why not teach them to make homemade candy?
Everyone loves homemade candy, (well any candy really, homemade candy is just the best). Kids especially just love homemade candy, especially if they have made it themselves. Homemade candy isn't that hard to make if you start with one of the easier homemade candy recipes, and the kids just love getting into the kitchen and doing it themselves, then eating the results.
I was making candy last night with my kids, you should have seen how they licked out the bowl. it was hard for them to wait until it was ready before they began eating.
I really think it's important to get the kids cooking early. The earlier the better. They will start to enjoy the results and the process and start learning some skills. And making homemade candy is the very best place to start.
Sadly cooking at home seems to be waning. I believe that they are even making houses now that don't have a kitchen. That's sad. A good time for any family is when everyone gets together in the kitchen and starts making something yummy. And there's no doubt that candy is yummy! It's one of the best types of cooking to start the kids with.
But remember, always allow more time for the process than you could imagine that it would take. Teaching kids to cook takes time. And makes mess. Expect to be cleaning up plenty of mess if the kids are young, that's just how it is.
And remember the golden rule. Always cook double the recipe, because if it's good then everyone wants some and you run out so fast you'll be cooking some more again tomorrow.
And it's not just the kids that love homemade candy. It makes a fine gift for friends and family, and it's something that the kids can give that they really did make themselves. And grandma will just love getting candy from the grandkids.
So maybe you have kids at home and maybe they're pestering you for great ideas for something to do in the school holidays. Making homemade candy is a great idea, kids love it. And it may start them on a lifelong love affair with cooking.
So find some simple homemade candy recipes, get the kids into the kitchen, and get started. Just don't eat the candy all in one go, as we did last night. - 31376
