Lemon Balm & Honey Hard Candy

March 20, 2019 by Suzie the Foodie 5 Comments

The Handwork Department & My New Candy Case

March 7, 2019 by Suzie the Foodie 2 Comments

I am going to be moving for a few months and pretty much everything is going into storage. As a foodie, this provided me with an interesting challenge. What do I put away and what do I take with me? To figure this out I had to make a foodie plan, something I usually do […]

Anna Olson’s Irish Creamy Fudge

November 28, 2018 by Suzie the Foodie 6 Comments

Last weekend we took a train to go surprise our dad for his birthday! To say it worked is an understatement. He had absolutely no idea that we were coming and that look of astonishment on his face was priceless. We got to spend the weekend together catching up and in true Ridler fashion, eating […]

CandyTown? I don’t think so…

November 26, 2016 by Suzie the Foodie 10 Comments

It is rare for me to write about something before going to it but I did so for CandyTown 2016. The promise of candy was just too hard to resist, even on a super crappy rainy day in Vancouver. I braved the elements and took a bus and Skytrain down to Yaletown and was so […]

Valentine’s Day Dark Chocolate-Covered Heart Caramels

February 8, 2012 by Suzie the Foodie 9 Comments

These beauties were all inspired because I asked myself the question, can you make caramel in the microwave?! Turns out you can! Quite easily and within six minutes. But then what? I had to do something more so I made my own candies by coating them in a chocolate glaze. I also made them romantic […]
