Elsa Ice Candy

Elsa birthday cake for Cora

Making this is very similar to making suckers. Just leave out the molds.
Directions:
3/4 cup Corn Syrup
2 cups Sugar
1/2 cup water
Bring to  boil. Stir constantly until mixture reaches 300 degrees. Add food coloring and pour into a greased cookie sheet that has an edge. Place in fridge until hardened. Then break into pieces. 

It was easy.

This is what it looked like before we broke it into pieces.

(I have heard that you can make muffins using this recipe too).

  1 cup (8 ounces) sour cream

  1 tsp garlic powder

  1/2 teaspoon salt

  1/4 teaspoon pepper

  4 cups cubed cooked chicken

  1 medium onion, finely chopped

  14 manicotti shells, cooked and drained In a large bowl, beat cream cheese until fluffy. Beat in the sour cream, garlic, salt and pepper until blended. Stir in chicken. In a small skillet, cook onion in butter until tender; add to chicken mixture. Stuff into manicotti shells.

  SAUCE:

  6 tablespoons butter

  6 tablespoons all-purpose flour

  1/4 teaspoon salt

  3-1/2 cups 2% milk

  3 cups (12 ounces) shredded Monterey Jack

  8 tablespoons shredded Parmesan cheese

• In a large saucepan, melt butter. Stir in flour and salt until smooth. Gradually whisk in milk. Bring to a boil; cook and stir for 2 minutes or until thickened. Stir in 2-1/2 cups Monterey Jack cheese and 1/2 the Parmesan cheese just until melted. Spread about 1/2 cup cheese sauce in each of two greased 11-in. x 7-in. dishes. Top with stuffed shells and remaining sauce.  Bake at 350° for 25 minutes. Uncover; sprinkle 4 table spoons of Parmesan cheese. Bake 10-15 minutes longer or until bubbly and cheese is melted. Yield: 7 servings. 

Original recipe from taste of home magazine January 2007. I left veggies out because we would rather have them on the side and I added garlic powder. I also add a little extra cheese on top. This is also good with the large shell noodles that can be stuffed.
