DUTCH BUTTER CANDY A.K.A. ZEEUWSE BOTERBABBELAARS
Taken from a little community cookbook "Cooking on Clogs" that has some great family recipes compiled by Dutch ladies especially for when they pined for typical Dutch recipes and treats that were not available to them shop-bought when they emmigrated to other countries. I like the fact that these recipes don't have all the added preservatives of their commercial counterparts and are easy to make. Boterbabbelaars are a small toffee candy, if you like your toffee chewy then this is one for you:) Note: Treacle is called Molasses by North Americans. ZWT REGION: The Netherlands.

Steps:
- Butter a large smooth surface to work your mixture on later.(I use a stainless steel tray)
- Bring all mixed ingrediends to the boil, then stir over a low heat and boil down for about 5 minutes until a small drop of the mixture hardens immediately on contact when dropped into cold water.
- Pour your mixture onto your buttered surface and using a buttered knife, scoop the outer flowing edges back towards the middle. Your mixture will resemble mercury as it slips and springs away and in the beginning you'll have to be fairly fast to keep up with it, but keep piling it towards the centre and you will be exposing it to more air as you go, cooling it and as it cools it gets easier to handle.
- Beware! in the beginning it's super hot (like most sweet/candy mixtures) so use that knife and save your fingers for later when it's cool. This scraping/scooping up takes several minutes and you will see the mixture cooling, getting thicker and slower.
- Immediately that the mixture begins to harden use your buttered fingers to draw it out into a cord of 1.5 cm thickness (about 1/2 inch) and use a pair of scissors to cut it into little "cushions". Good luck on neatness here -- it's hardening fast at this point. I decided that small bites are fine since it's a very chewy toffee.

CHOCOLATE BUTTER
A delicious butter to serve with warm scones! It is nice on pancakes too, served with a bit of whipped cream. Rich and yummy! If refrigerated, please remove and let stand at room temperature for about 15 minutes to soften before serving. You can use margarine to replace the butter, but butter is best!!
