I realized this past weekend that I had yet to post anything specific for the 4th of July…which is this Friday.

I apologize 🙂

I had a list of about 493 recipes I wanted to make but since time has been of short supply lately I settled on these candies. Easy, fantastic, and uber-patriotic. I love them.

I chose these candies because the boys can help out and they are really fun to make. They start out the same as these chocolate covered mint patties and then we mix it up a bit. The filling gets divided into three parts – one stays white, one gets colored blue and the other red. Please, use the gel food color. You’ll really appreciate how little coloring you actually need and the colors are so much more vibrant.

I pinched off a piece of the red, white, and blue filling and formed them into a small ball. The bigger the ball, the bigger the patty. Easy.

Next, you can use the palm of your hand or the bottom of a glass to press slightly on the ball, flattening it to the thickness you desire. I like a quarter inch for my patties.

You can flavor these candies however your heart desires but I thought a cherry center would go nice with the vanilla candy coating I used.

Since there are so few ingredients in this recipe, make sure to use quality ingredients like Challenge Butter. It makes a difference. Trust me.

I flavored the center cherry but you can use your choice of extract. Strawberry or lemon would be great choices. Or just shock everyone and make them root beer 🙂

    I have all the ingredients on hand except candiquick, and would love to try these for tomorrow. Do you think I could use White Melting Wafers instead? Bag says for candy making and dipping. Or do you think it’ll be too thick? Thanks!
