Easy Candy Recipes





Lisa Gianotti This collection of easy candy recipes aren't all necessarily Italian Dessert Recipes. We are like anyone else - we do enjoy candy. But some of our candies aren't so simple. I tried to keep those ones out of here. Except my truffles.

My amaretto truffles. They are truly an Italian dessert - but fair warning - THEY ARE NOT EASY. Because I have a traditional Italian Dessert Recipes collection I felt the need to leave them on the site. (But I am giving you a warning on "NOT" easy)

For the holiday season we usually have platters of goodies - mostly with cookies (Italian cookie recipes) - and we put the candy on the platter interspersed through out the cookies. We don't pile big chunks of fudge or mounds of chocolate. The candies is kinda like a garnish.

We are big on jelly candies. Love 'em. I have a killer apricot jellied candy recipe...but it's not here yet. (Gotta get one of those jelly candy recipes in here. And we have a torrone which is a nougat.

At the present I add recipes to this collection as I make them. And although this collection is small - look through my large collection of Italian cakes and Italian cookie recipes.

Thanks for stopping by -

All of my recipes are put here with a normal cook in mind. I love cooking shows, the competition, and going to boutique restaurants - BUT I DON'T LIKE TO COOK that way. So - as you look at the (few) easy candy recipes I have, look through the recipe search by ingredient page if you had a certain taste in mind.

Lisa Gianotti March Madness

In the US we go crazy over college basketball during the middle of March. This is called "March Madness"

There are parties. Get-togethers. Friendly wagering. And maybe not-so-friendly-wagering.

All I know, it's another reason to drink and eat. One of my favorite LOW STRESS drinks are my sangria recipes.

  • It's a make-ahead. (See how to make sangria)
  • it uses different fruits (see white sangria recipe vs the old-school best sangria recipe)
  • you don't have to use an expensive wine!


    • The best way to have a good time is to NOT do everything at the last minute. I have a few "new" recipes that you can make the day ahead also:

    Peanut Butter Brownie Recipe

    Cornflake Cookies

    and the traditional Italian cookie recipes always work like the Anisette Cookies
