The Saga of the Forever Amber
There is an old saying that goes “the way to a man’s heart is through his stomach”. Well, in my case, the way to this food blogger’s heart is through a delicious, sweet treat named Forever Amber. It’s a delightful, yet slightly tricky dish to prepare, but don’t worry, I’ve got you covered. I present to you the official, no-fuss, laugh-out-loud guide to making Forever Amber. Buckle up, buttercup, this is going to be sweet!
The Gathering of the Ingredients
First things first, you’re going to need some specific ingredients. Arm yourself with 1 lb. of orange sliced candy, chopped, 2 cans of Angel Flake coconut, 2 cups of chopped pecans, 2 cans of condensed milk, 1 tsp. of vanilla, and 1 tsp. of orange flavoring. Yes, I know, that’s a lot of sweetness packed into one recipe. But hey, we’re not making salad here!
The Mix-a-Lot Stage
Roll up your sleeves, it’s time to mix things up! Toss all your ingredients into a bowl and mix them together. By now, your kitchen will start to smell like a heavenly candy factory, but resist the urge to start eating. We’re not done yet!
The Baking Fiasco
Next, spread your mouthwatering mixture in a buttered pan and bake for 30 minutes at 275°. Now, I know what you’re thinking, “275°, really?” Yes, really! We’re not trying to burn down the house here, it’s a gentle bake, like a warm hug from your oven.
The Sugar Shower Situation
While it’s still hot, sift 1 box of powdered sugar into it. Trust me, when you’re dusting that sugar like a winter wonderland, you’ll feel like a master chef. Just remember, it’s not a snowball fight, aim for the pan!
The Waiting Game
Now comes the hard part – waiting. Drop the mixture by teaspoons on waxed paper and let it dry. If you can resist the urge to taste test (I usually can’t), you’re stronger than I am! If it seems set on the bottom, turn over and let it continue to dry. This may feel like watching paint dry, but I promise, the result is way tastier!
The Sweet Victory
Voila! You’ve just made Forever Amber! It’s a decadent treat that’s a perfect combination of orange sliced candy, Angel Flake coconut, pecans, condensed milk, vanilla, and orange flavoring. It’s like a little bite of heaven.
So, my dear friends, that’s the journey to the heart of Forever Amber. I hope you had as much fun reading this as I did baking and eating. Remember, the kitchen is not just a place for cooking, it’s a place for creating sweet memories (and even sweeter treats)!
Happy baking and remember, calories don’t count when you’re having fun!
