Christmas French Crème Candies Recipe:

Ingredients (Makes about 40 candies):

  • 1/2 cup unsalted butter, softened
  • 4 cups powdered sugar, sifted
  • 1/4 cup heavy cream
  • 1 tsp vanilla extract (or other extracts like peppermint, almond, or rum)
  • Food coloring (red, green, or your choice for Christmas)
  • Granulated sugar (for rolling)

Tips for Success:

  • Sift the powdered sugar for a smooth, creamy texture.
  • Use gel food coloring for vibrant colors without altering the consistency.
  • Chill the mixture if it’s too soft to roll into balls.

How to Make Christmas French Crème Candies:

1. Prepare the Base Mixture:

  • In a mixing bowl, cream the butter until light and fluffy.
  • Gradually add the powdered sugar, alternating with the heavy cream, beating well after each addition.
  • Stir in the vanilla extract or your preferred flavoring.

2. Divide and Color:

  • Divide the mixture into separate bowls, depending on how many colors you want.
  • Add a few drops of food coloring to each bowl and mix until evenly colored.

3. Shape the Candies:

  • Roll the mixture into small balls, about 1 inch in diameter. Alternatively, flatten them into discs or use small holiday-themed molds for festive shapes.

4. Roll in Sugar:

  • Roll each ball in granulated sugar for a sparkling finish.

5. Chill:

  • Place the candies on a parchment-lined baking sheet and refrigerate for 1-2 hours, or until firm.
