Cheese Puffs, Cucumber Sandwiches and Honey Joys.

A few of my favorite hors d'oeuvres to make, and all are fairly easy!

http://simplyrecipes.com/recipes/cheddar_cheese_puffs/


The Cucumber Sandwiches turned out just the way I wanted them to.


Honey Joys. Delicious, easy to make and the right amount of sweet! Simple and delicious!

Basically, you bring 3tbs butter, 2 tbs sugar and 1 tsb honey to a boil, boil it for about 1-2 minutes until its a frothy mixture, turn off the heat and then mix in 6 cups of Cornflakes. I bake them at various temps, depending on the hurry I'm in. I was in a big hurry tonight, and since the oven was already preheated at 450 from the Cheese Puffs, I threw them in and baked them for 10 minutes/until golden brown. :) You let them cool for about 5 minutes to allow the mixture to cool, sticking everything together!

Recipe:

5-6 cups Cornflakes
3 Tbs Butter
2 Tbs Sugar
1 Tbs Honey

Preheat oven between 325-450.

Mix butter, sugar and honey in a large pan on High heat all while stirring constantly. Bring to a boil, turn heat down slightly to avoid burning, and continue to stir constantly until mixture is frothy. Turn off heat and immediately dump all the cornflakes in. Mix cornflakes and sweet sauce all together until cornflakes are evenly covered. This usually takes about 2 minutes. You want all the cornflake to be lightly glazed so that they will stick together.

Spoon mixture evenly into cupcake papers in a cupcake pan(s). Bake for 10-15 minutes or until golden brown (cornflakes are already golden, but when done, tips should be darker). Remove from the oven and allow Honey Joys to cool for approx. 10 minutes. If you do not allow cooling time, the Honey Joys will 1. Be too hot and 2. Will fall apart if you try to take them out of the pan.

Serve immediately for best results. Are good for a few days (at least a week). No need to refrigerate.

Enjoy! :)
