    Amish Candies

    Most Amish and Mennonites don't celebrate Christmas or Easter with bright Santas and cheery bunnies.  You won't' find strings of lights or grass-filled baskets.  The Amish celebrate holidays in more low-key ways, without the material and decorative trappings found in more secular society.  The Amish, however, will celebrate these special holidays with special foods.  And often homemade candies are the ultimate expression Christmas or Easter in Amish kitchens.  Many Amish cooks wouldn't think of celebrating Easter without some special homemade Mashed Potato Candy and forget Christmas without some incredible Amish cashew crunch!  Among the Amish, celebrating special occasions with candy is dandy, find the perfect recipe below for you to celebrate the season!

    Kevin Williams - The Amish Editor Amish Cook Column

    Hi There, I'm Kevin!

    Welcome to Amish365, where I share my knowledge of Amish cooking and culture! I’ve spent almost three decades exploring Amish settlements and kitchens from Maine to Montana and almost everywhere in between. I’ll occasionally throw in stories of my travels, journalism adventures (I’m a Pulitzer prize-nominated journalist), fascination with grocery stores and Kmarts, and much more!
