This small book is a mix of charm, history, delicious photographs and just plain fun. I went to one of the book signings where samples of many of the recipes were there for the tasting. It was easy to tell that a high standard had to be met before any of the creations could be accepted into the cookbook. But it was not at all easy to tell what candy a recipe used! A complete surprise of gourmet tasting delights. One certainly doesn't need a family to fully enjoy it. I think it is an easy present for friends. It's definitely a neat slant on the usual cookbook.

If you love America's most well-known and loved candy (and who doesn't?!), then you'll enjoy making these to-die-for desserts for your family and friends! The time-line of candy brand names in the front of the book is a nice walk down memory lane - remembering all of your childhood favorites. Be sure to make up a batch of "Brownies with Reese's Bites and Chocolate Glaze" - a sure crowd pleaser - and have that glass of milk on hand when you devour this taste of HEAVEN!

Many of the recipes are easy to make which is perfect for people like me who hate baking. The book would make a perfect gift.

I had dessert duty at our family get together, so i made the Three Musketeers pie....a huge success, so rich and delicious.. this book is a must for any cookbook fanatic like myself.. and an excellent gift for your friends and family.

I just love this little cookbook! If you are a cookbook lover like me you will have to have this one. Now I am able to use all the candy bars in those warehouse club pack! Would make an excellent gift as well!

What a clever little cookbook, I say little because it's a stocking stuffer size but it is a 160 pages. There's a recipe for oatmeal cookies made with raisinets. It was so yummy. Another recipe was Peanut Butterfinger Pie, made using Oreos and Butterfingers. OMG, it was to die for. It would be wonderful to take to the company Christmas party. All of the recipes are made using brand name candy. It's not a cookbook to make the candies as someone else mentioned. These are pies, bars, cookies, tarts, coffee cakes, etc made using Milky Way, Junior Mints, Snickers, Hershey's Kisses, Jolly Rancher's, and many many more.

This is an awesome cookbook that everyone needs around the holidays. It even has seasonal recipes so you can make a 4th of July Trifle using Nestle White Crunch bars. There's Necco Sweethearts Cupcakes, Easter Bunny Fondue, and again many more.

This is an awesome book!! Every recipe looks so delicious and they don't seem to be too complicated either. For anyone who likes candy, and likes to use candy in their baking, this is the book for you. I know that these recipes are all tested good recipes. I went to school with one of the authors. I would recommend this book to everyone!
