School holidays have arrived, the kids are home. But occasionally mom isn't quite so delighted. What are you going to do with the kids? How will you keep them entertained? Teach them to make homemade candy.
There aren't many people who don't like candy, homemade candy especially. And the kids love making it and eating the results too. It's not that hard to make candy if you choose one of the easier recipes and the kids will enjoy the process.
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.
And it's important in my view to get kids started learning to cook. It's never too early to teach kids the delights, and skills, of great homemade food, including homemade candy. In fact candy is the perfect place to start kids learning to make homemade food.
Unfortunately homemade food seems to be less of the norm than it used to be, I believe they are even making houses without kitchens now. But to me a good family time revolves around making, and eating, homemade food. And homemade candy is one of the best types of homemade food to begin 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 there's one golden rule. When you have a good recipe always double it because if you've got a family there never seems to be enough. Everyone wants more.
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.
