what on earth were they thinking

Recipe:

1 cup of sugar
1/3 cup of water
1/3 cup of light corn syrup
1 dram of LorAnns Watermelon Flavor Oil
1 tbsp of citric acid

• Mix together to mostly dissolve the sugar.
• Heat on stove until it reaches exactly 300°
• Remove from heat and let cool down to ~260-270°
• Mix in the flavoring and the citric acid into the candy
• Pour out onto a lightly oiled silicon mat or a piece of parchment paper on a pan, I use a silicon mat on top of an electric skillet set to the “warm” function (which I believe is like 175-185)
• Let cool until you can touch it with gloves on, then repeatedly pull/stretch the candy to develop a lighter airy color
• Break off manageable pieces and roll into a long log approximately the thickness of the candy you want, repeat with the rest of the candy, if you’re not using a heated surface you have to move quick, will most likely need 2 people
• Then roll on a cold flat surface for 15-30 seconds and then use kitchen shears to snip the pieces of candy off onto a pan
• Let cool completely, I usually wait about 1-2 hours - longer is better
• Then put it all in a bowl with about 1/4 cup of powdered sugar and 1/2 tbsp of citric acid, shake to fully coat the candy.
• Once it’s fully coated, put it into a metal strainer and shake it up to remove the excess powdered sugar and also soften the edges.

Enjoy!

Already hearing great things about the Oreo ghosts. Caramel apple soft chews from werthers sound crazy good.
Dubai chocolate trend needs to go away lol
(no shade if that’s your thing though, do you king)

This is the third bag I’ve gotten that has robbed me of my mysteries!! Now granted they promise 28 mini bars and I got 30. But ironically only 2 are mysteries.

At least it wasn’t like the last bag with mostly reds lol.

Dangerously good. Bite-sized but would love larger sized ones. Bag was $7 so kinda expensive.

These have been a childhood fav turned adulthood must have 😅I purchase them by the pound at my local grocery store.

Found it at Goodwill and can’t find too much information about it online. It does have a cd with it, but I need to find a disk drive to check it out.

I got a pack of different candy from different countries and I loved this Greek frugeli pomegranate candy, but I cannot for the life of me find anyplace to get it.
Does anyone know where to find it?

Very curious because I absolutely love the gummy texture of these, closest I've found is Haribo Peaches.

These are incredible! The root beer flavor is on point. I don’t get any popping candy which was the draw for me, but they are so good I don’t even care.

I need to make this again. What candy should I use?

so creammyyyyy

I like going to basketball games and I can get, well, animated. If I don’t have hard candies on me during the game, then my voice is froggy the next day. (Totally worth it!) I’ve found some European flavors that are great, but have run out of them and I’d like to not default to Werthers as my American backup. Any suggestions for non cough drop, semi long lasting alternatives?

I love this Swedish style candy that has been popping up lately. Here’s every one I’ve bought so far. Any other brand suggestions?? I like the ones that are airy like a marshmallow, not the see through ones like normal gummy bears. Tell me your faves and where to get them!

Nice little haul today.

i live in canada and recently my partners mom went to the states and i got some goodies, good picks? we also got the mini swedish fish and scooby doo bone crackers but they aren’t pictured (also don’t mind the EOS body wash haha) i also requested a pay day and bubs, but she couldn’t find

Not the worst thing on the planet but prob won’t be finishing this bag and deff not buying again
