December 1st is right around the corner….? There is only 25 days till Christmas. Before we blink an eye, its going to be a brand new year. Can you believe that?
With the Holidays upon us, I’ve been missing my mom and Suzzane so much it hurts. I was getting ready to run to the store to pick up a few groceries when my mom’s favorite candy popped into my mind. Do you know what kind of candy she liked?
For those that didn’t know my mom’s all-time favorite candy was Pangburn’s Millionaires. Once my mom had her teeth pulled she began to eat Recces Peanut Butter Cups.
While I was online looking for Candy recipes Charlie and I could make. Which we will be giving as Gifts I decided to check out recipes from Tupperware.
Because a friend of mine is a consultant. When low and behold I found a recipe for Coconut Almond Clusters. David loves Coconut the candy will be the perfect Christmas Gift for him.
I was also wondering if I could leave the Coconut out and make plain Almond Clusters for Charlie and me?? Be watching to see what happens because I might leave the Coconut out of one pan.
If your not busy then Charlie and I can use help in the kitchen if you’re up to helping us create different Candy and Baking Treats to give out at Christmas.
Coconut Almond Clusters
2 cups Chocolate Chips
1 cup Almond
1½ cup Sweetened, Shredded Coconut, divided
1. Place ½ cup Coconut into TupperWave® Stack Cooker . 2. Microwave, on high power, in 30-second increments, 2 –4 minutes. 3. Stir thoroughly with a Spatula after each segment. 4.

Make a complete meal for four including dessert in less than 30 minutes!
Everyone deserves hot, fresh and delicious meals, even on nights when it seems impossible.
In the Stack Cooker, meat stays moist, cakes bake up fluffy and dips and sauces come out creamier than ever. You won’t believe this Microwave magic.
- Rounded, flat bottoms allow you to arrange food for even cooking.
- The Colander is ideal for cooking meat; place inside the 3qt/3l or 1¾qt/1.75l Casserole dish, and the fat drains away while the meat cooks perfectly. Also great for steaming vegetables.
- The 3qt/3l Casserole dish becomes a tube pan when used with the cone.
- Nesting Casserole dishes for compact storage.
- Large, stay cool-to-the-touch handles.
- The Casserole dishes can be stacked for cooking simultaneously or used individually.
US/CA only: Reach for the TupperWave® Stack Cooker Recipe Book, with over 5,000 meal combinations plus nutritional guidance and helpful preparation tips. Recipes in English and Spanish.
To make this candy, you do not have to have a Stack Cooker, but it would make preparing the candy easier.
I have a question for you are you ready for Christmas? I have some of my Christmas Shopping but still have lots more to do. Santa if your listening I need some help Please.
Thank you,
Glenda, Charlie and David Cates
