I want to recreate some delicious candied herbs I'd purchased in Italy several years ago, and am utterly unable to find a recipe for candy-coating herbs or making dragees. To clarify, I'm looking to achieve the hard candy coating you find on Jordan Almonds or on the candied fennel seeds you find as part of mukhwas at Indian restaurants. The only advice I've found is in this book from 1800 - surely someone has made these since then!

Do you have a recipe for pecan pralines using evaporated milk that has been successful for you? The web is full of heavy cream-based recipes, but I just ate a fabulous one made with evap milk, so I'd like to start there. If you can advise on stirring/not stirring and temperature to cook to, I'd appreciate that too.

Are Andes Mints no longer sold through retail stores? In the last few months I haven't been able to find them in any of our local stores. I've checked Kroger, Meijer, and a local independent grocery. Nothing on their website, though it looks like it hasn't been updated recently.

While on exchange in Russia (near Novgorod), I was served two foods that I loved but have not been able to find again, and don't know the names for. First was a confection -- semi-dried but juicy berries covered in powdered sugar, about the size of blueberries, but red with lots of little seeds, that came in a small box. Second was a cake that seemed to be made of dozens of layered pancakes with some sort of cream or frosting in between. Anyone know what these are, and where I can find them or a recipe for them in the US?

So I got a big bag o' peppermints in my stocking and I've been enjoying them. They've also got me thinking about making my own hard candies (peppermints, cinnamon drops, Worther's-like buttercream, etc..). The only problem is, just about everything I've been able to dig up centers more on chocolate or is shy on the basics. I picked up Candy Making for Dummies, but the closest that it gets is brittles. Anyone an accomplished or amateur candy maker and can point me to some solid introductory information. Also, does anyone know if you can use Splenda instead of sugar when making hard candies?
