We’re back after a hiatus. I meant to post a couple weeks ago, but we ended up leaving for Thanksgiving earlier than I expected, so I wasn’t able to post. So instead of 3 weeks of Wreck-it Ralph, you get one big week and a smaller week!  This is great for Christmas time because there are so many sweets, you won’t even know what to do.  We aren’t going to make ALL the candies shown in the movie, because that would take a blog unto itself. Plus, most candies shown are most commonly store-bought.  But we do have some great recipes for you from Disney’s Wreck it Ralph!

Fix it Felix Anniversary Cake

At the beginning part of the movie, the characters from Fix it Felix through an anniversary party. One of them bakes a cake that’s a replica of the building they live in. She even goes through and names all the cake flavors, Red Velvet, Lemon, Rum and Vanilla. She doesn’t get to the vanilla, but it is mentioned in a Wreck it Ralph children’s book.

So we got to make all of these cakes!  The rum was the best, followed by the lemon.

Cave Peanut Brittle

Inside of Vanellope’s cave, it is made from tons of Peanut Brittle.

I had to be really careful making this because my wife is severely allergic to peanuts. I only got to try a little before giving the rest away.

Laffy Taffy

Felix uses the Laffy Taffy to rescue himself and Calhoun from the Nesquik sand. 

Something went wrong when I was making the Taffy, it became very liquidy and wouldn’t harden. I don’t know what went wrong. Maybe you’ll have better luck
