CANDY PACIFIERS

Let stand for 10-20 minutes or until set. Place wafers jelly bean side down on a wire rack with jelly beans between the wires., Carefully place another pea-size amount of frosting on the flat side of each candy wafer; position a Life Saver on edge in the frosting. Let stand for at least 1 day to dry. Tie a ribbon through each Life Saver.

MOLLY'S PACIFIER CANDIES

Steps:

• melt sugar in a saucepan...add a lil bit of water as needed....you want it to become a clear glue like substance. Need to stir constantly. Go to a card store and buy blue and pink jelly beans ( I say this b/c it is waay easier than separating them out). Get white (peppermint) lifesavers. (Be careful, I bought breathsavers at first by accident and they don't have a hole!) I usually buy one five pack. Get Drost white chocolate wafers...come 16 in pack which is a long cylander, found in candy aisle at grocery store, it's gourmet chocolate. I usually buy 2 packs. Dip the life saver in the carmelized sugar and press firmly into white choc wafer. Hold it like that (upside down) for 30 seconds until it drys a bit, then rest upside down while you do the rest. Dip jelly beans into sugar and press firmly into top side of wafer, holding for 30 secs. When done, place on lifesaver side down so it tilts to the side (note: this is why it's key to wait till the jelly bean dries so it doesn't slide off!)

PACIFIER CUPCAKES RECIPE - (4.5/5)

Steps:

• Bake, and cool cupcakes. (Before frosting cupcakes, the tops need to be almost flat so trim off any excess with a sharp paring knife, if needed.) Frost cupcakes and decorate tops with upside down chocolate chips for eyes (or candy eyes) and pacifiers.

OLD-FASHIONED MOLASSES CANDY

Steps:

• Grease a 15x10x1-in. pan with 1 tablespoon butter; set aside. In a heavy saucepan, combine sugar, corn syrup and vinegar. Cook over low heat until sugar is dissolved, stirring frequently. Increase heat to medium; cook until a candy thermometer reads 245° (firm-ball stage), stirring occasionally. , Add molasses and remaining butter. Cook, uncovered, until a candy thermometer reads 260° (hard-ball stage), stirring occasionally. Remove from the heat. Add baking soda; beat well., Pour into prepared pan. Let stand for 5 minutes or until cool enough to handle. Butter fingers; quickly pull candy until firm by pliable (color will be light tan). When candy is ready for cutting, pull into a 1/2-in. rope. Cut into 1-in. pieces. Wrap each in waxed paper or colored candy wrappers.

BABY PACIFIER SHOWER FAVORS

Steps:

• Unwrap all the Lifesavers. Take one Lifesaver and apply a thin layer of frosting around the inner hole. Grab a jellybean and place one of the short, ROUND ends in it, so the length of the jellybean is coming out of the hole. Flip the Lifesaver over. On the other side, take the frosting and make a slightly thicker (yet still on the thin side) layer of frosting around the inner hole/center, and place another Lifesaver perpendicular attaching edge of 2nd Lifesaver to center of 1st Lifesaver with jellybean attached to it. Place on flat surface and allow to dry. After drying for 3-4 hours, thread curling ribbon through the hole of the 2nd Lifesaver and tie in a knot. So cute!! :D (Photos by Dr. JenLeddy)
