To make these banana cream candies, you’ll combine butter, condensed milk, powdered sugar, and Banana Cream Flavoring to form a smooth, dough-like candy mixture. Once the flavor is fully mixed in, the dough is chilled to firm up, rolled into bite-sized pieces, and optionally coated in powdered sugar or dipped in melted chocolate. After a brief chill, the banana cream candies set into soft, flavorful treats with delicious melt-in-your-mouth texture.
Ingredients
Banana Cream Candy
-
4 tablespoons unsalted butter, softened
-
½ cup sweetened condensed milk
-
3–4 cups powdered sugar (as needed for firmness)
-
1–2 teaspoons Banana Cream Flavoring
-
A pinch of salt
Optional Coatings
-
Powdered sugar
-
Melted white chocolate
-
Melted milk chocolate
-
Sprinkles
Directions
Cream the softened butter in a mixing bowl until smooth and creamy, helping create the perfect base for soft banana candies.
Add the sweetened condensed milk and mix until fully combined for a smooth, thick texture.
Stir in the Banana Cream Flavoring and salt. This concentrated flavoring gives the candy its strong banana cream taste—start with 1 teaspoon and increase for desired intensity.
Gradually add the powdered sugar 1 cup at a time, mixing until a soft, pliable candy dough forms. The mixture should be firm enough to roll without sticking.
Chill the candy dough for 30 minutes to make it easier to shape.
Roll the chilled dough into 1-inch balls or shape into small logs, depending on your preferred candy style.
Coat the candies by rolling them in powdered sugar—or dip them in melted chocolate for a richer banana cream candy.
Place the finished candies on a parchment-lined tray and chill for another 30 minutes to fully set.
Serve chilled or at room temperature and enjoy the creamy, sweet banana flavor.
Recipe Note
10 Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)
1. Can I make these candies without sweetened condensed milk?
Condensed milk gives the candy its creamy texture, so substitutions may affect consistency.
2. How strong is Banana Cream Flavoring?
It’s concentrated—start with 1 teaspoon and add more only after tasting the mixture.
3. Can I dip the candies in chocolate?
Yes! White or milk chocolate pairs perfectly with banana cream flavor.
4. Why is my candy too sticky?
Add more powdered sugar until the dough becomes firm and easy to roll.
5. Can I add food coloring?
Absolutely—add a drop of yellow coloring for a classic banana candy look.
6. How long do the candies last?
Store in an airtight container for up to 7 days in the fridge.
7. Can these candies be frozen?
Yes! Freeze for up to 2 months and thaw at room temperature.
8. Can I make them firmer like taffy?
Add more powdered sugar and chill longer for a firmer, chewier texture.
