I made some peanut brittle today too, it's good. Used silicone baking mats in half sheet pans. Made 2 lbs or 900 grams, half of that is the raw spanish peanuts.

Watching people cut #candy is mesmerizing, it also smells great. As an added bonus he gave me and handful when he was done.

Did that coffee liquor brown sugar honey mix I usually do to make a sort of taffy, but I added in some caramel maccchiato creamer and vanilla extract and Oh my god! it's amazing! turned out making a hard candy instead of a taffy tho will need to learn more how to adjust texture #cooking #candymaking #candy

Made a double batch of https://smittenkitchen.com/2012/10/apple-cider-caramels/ because there was a half gallon of cider in the back of the fridge, subbing pie spice for cinnamon, and now it's cooling on the counter while the kitchen smells like fall. #CandyMaking

It's #holiday #baking and #candymaking time! We moved to Kansas from Florida 4 years ago and we miss the #kumquats. So, we've gotten into a habit of ordering kumquats every #Christmas. I guess it's a #ChristmasTradition now! I'm making refrigerator #pies tonight.

I think I have a problem. I'm addicted... to #CandyMaking

Last night I coated my honeycombs in chocolate and tonight I made chocolate fudge. I think it turned out well but we'll see in the morning!

#ADHD hyperfocus goooooo!

You know how every now and then the penny drops?

So I was looking up recipes for #homemade #PeppermintPatties because #CandyMaking is NEVER a bad idea, and it occurred to me that if you subbed in orange flavoring you could make an orange patty, or lemon flavoring for a lemon patty...

...and then I thought about those very fancy #RoseCreams and #VioletCreams I'd enjoyed and paid £££ for in England... and had an AHA! moment.

BRB gonna buy some rose syrup and a metric butt-ton of powdered sugar

Homegrown honeycrisp apples turned into candy topped with pistachios!

Awhile ago I tried making something called “applets”; they seem to be an American version of apple flavoured Turkish Delight (TD).

There are lots of easy applet recipes but none have the proper TD texture I am looking for.

This was my first attempt with such a recipe: absolutely great flavour but + texture imho. Imagine a hard (gelatine-based) gummi candy that’s weirdly crispy
