Holiday Candy: Cherry Cordials, Fudge, and Popcorn
from RK (initials only)
Read this one with the card open. Something on it is illegible, missing or ambiguous. It is transcribed exactly as written — nothing has been guessed or filled in — and every uncertainty is marked below.
A holiday candy-making page carrying three recipes at once — Cherry Cordials, Fudge, and a white-chocolate popcorn treat — the kind of note set that gets pulled out once a year in December.
Companion page: this sheet is one of two companion pages in the same hand, on the same paper, from the same holiday candy-making note set. The other is holiday-candy-pretzel-rounds-reindeer-mint-sandwich.md (Pretzel Rounds, Reindeer Heads, Mint Sandwich cookies).
Ingredients
Cherry Cordials: - 3 jars maraschino cherries, drained, set on paper towel - 1 lb dry fondant - 3 Tbsp water (add slowly) - 1/2 tsp CK (Clear) Vanilla - 1 bag chocolate wafers (cocoa light)
Fudge: - 1 can sweetened condensed milk - 1 lb real chocolate
Popcorn (white chocolate/Rice Krispies treat): - 1 lb white chocolate - 2 Tbsp peanut butter - 4 bags popcorn - 6 cups Rice Krispies
Method
Cherry Cordials: Electric-mix everything, knead by hand until smooth, wrap around each cherry, dip in chocolate, set in small paper cups.
Fudge: Pour into a wet/dry measuring cup (one 2-cup + 1-cup). ⚠ not stated on the card — no heating time or temperature is given for the fudge step. Dip into dark chocolate after set.
Popcorn: Melt white chocolate and peanut butter, mix with popcorn and Rice Krispies, set on waxed paper.
Notes on the artifact
Handwritten notebook-paper page, dark ink, with some text overwritten/highlighted in a way that partly obscures the original wording (e.g. "evap" crossed out and replaced with "condenced," "real choc" partly obscured) — transcribed here to the clearest reading. Initials "RK" are penciled in the bottom-right corner, likely an author or recipient credit, not otherwise identified.
