Wish Come True Candies

I first saw reference to these goodies on a friend’s Facebook page. I knew I had to have the recipe, and thankfully she obliged!

Confession: I don’t think mine turned out at all!

However, they were still so good, I decided to share the recipe, because if you make them like I did, or how they are supposed to turn out, you are in for a treat either way!

When I melted the 3 kinds of chips, the mixture was very dry, almost like cookie dough.

I did add a bit of cream to the mixture when I was melting the chips, but I think I should have melted them more, to make it more liquidy.

I then rolled the dough into very small balls, and let sit for a few minutes before we tried them.

However, my friend told me:

“They are just round blobs of yumminess. Put each in a little candy wrapper. (Like the cupcake liners but small version) then you peel off like you are eating a Reese peanut butter cup.”

The should have more resembled a macaroon cookie.

Next time I try them, I will add some more liquid and melt the chips more.

Either way, I’m still happy how they turned out, and although they are sweet, they are addictive, so don’t say I didn’t warn you!

How to Make Okonomiyaki: Japanese Style Pancakes

When I lived in Japan, these savoury pancakes were one of my favourite meals. What’s great, is that it it’s a “Choose Your Own Adventure” and you can add whatever ingredients you like!

We make these a lot at home, using this adaption from a Japanese cookbook called Japanese Family-Style Recipes, I bought when I was there.

When we were in London last year, we met up with a friend I knew in Japan, and we headed to a real okonomiyaki restaurant near the British Museum.

They cook them on the table right before you, adding in the ingredients of your choice.

Below is the recipe from the cookbook. Below that, I will include some quick cheats that we use for our own adaption of the recipe.

Our Cheats

To speed up the process, we generally use pancake mix and dump in a bag of coleslaw mix.

That is, until we discovered locally grown and produced, Randsland Super Salad mix!

This recipe has become SO SIMPLE!

Pancake mix + a bag of Randsland Super Salad Mix (minus the dressings) = Japanese-style Okonomiyaki

We are never going back!

Learn more about Randsland here.

As they say in Japanese, Let the Feast Begin: Itadakimasu!
