Cinnamon Butter Bites Freezer Candy Recipe

I originally found this recipe here: Cinnamon Butter Bites. A modified it slightly.

1 pound pasture butter, softened
1 tablespoon local honey
1 tablespoon cinnamon
1 1/2 teaspoons vanilla extract

Add butter, cinnamon, honey, and vanilla extract to your food processor. Process for a couple of minutes, mixing ingredients until it looks like whipped frosting. Stop food processor and scrape down the sides of bowl, as necessary.
Line a baking sheet that will fit into your freezer with parchment paper. Place bite-size spoonfuls of butter mixture onto parchment paper-lined tray.

Freeze for an hour or two until hard, then remove from parchment paper and store in a covered container in your freezer.

These will literally melt in your mouth!

Maple Cream Soda Recipe

I haven't had soda since I was about 23 years old. I weaned myself off of that addiction in 1986. I haven't looked back. But, sometimes, I wonder if there's a way to make real, old-fashioned soda. Without the addictive sugars and other man-made chemicals. Well, there is!

1 cup sparkling spring water
1 Tablespoon organic dark maple syrup
.25 teaspoon organic vanilla extract
1 cup crushed ice

Pulse all ingredients in blender until thoroughly mixed. Serve immediately, or store in glass jar with tight lid so you won't loose the effervescence. Makes 2-8 ounce servings.
This soda is not as overly sweet as sodas you will buy in the store. It has a mild sweetness.
