I wish I knew why the temperature worked for some and not others; it would save everyone a lot of heartache!

Sorry it's been so long since I've stopped by and said hello- things have been kind of crazy, but I have really missed talking with you each week after SMS postings. I hope you're doing well and would love to hear from you soon.<br /><br />I'm so sorry your toffee didn't turn out as expected, but if it makes you feel any better, you are NOT alone. My first batch was an absolute disaster, and I ended up with 3 lbs of chocolate/almond covered crystallized sugar. I didn't want to end my candy making experience on a bad note, so I did some research, found another recipe, and gave it a go. Thankfully it came out fabulous! If you have a chance, check out my post (which includes the other recipe) along with a whole list of tips and tricks that will help ensure success. Let me know if you decide to give it another shot!<br /><br />I hope you're doing well and having a fabulous start to your week. Can't wait to talk to you again soon :)<br /><br /><3,<br />JoyJoyhttp://hotovenwarmheart.wordpress.com/noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1428458359448573929.post-86982733022219545982009-11-16T22:03:05.116-05:002009-11-16T22:03:05.116-05:00Ha!

I'm impressed with your candy-making shots, I am too nervous to ever grab the camera.margothttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03355310739931667408noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1428458359448573929.post-25386942260405513222009-11-16T04:48:19.175-05:002009-11-16T04:48:19.175-05:00Wow - that's some seriously impressive bunrt s...Wow - that's some seriously impressive bunrt sugar! I have no idea how you managed to get that out of the pan. I used white sugar as I've heard that the impurities in brown means it burns easily - not the same flavour though...Rosyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16044764124040779757noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1428458359448573929.post-41233690309061101492009-11-15T18:31:12.553-05:002009-11-15T18:31:12.553-05:00This came to temperature so quickly.

Hopefully you can try again another time, follow your instincts & get a good result :) My tester really enjoyed the toffee so it may be worth the effort.Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02131968703642650198noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1428458359448573929.post-27117648803807800072009-11-15T14:12:36.739-05:002009-11-15T14:12:36.739-05:00Oh my lord.... well... i give you props for trying...Oh my lord.... well... i give you props for trying twice.

Sorry you...Oh my goodness that really looks burnt! Sorry you had the mishap but great idea getting a new candy thermometer! My candy therm. does not work well. I was so worried I would burn it I took it off much to early and ended up with a chewy version of toffee rather then a crunchy one. It still turned out good and we have enjoyed it.Flourchildhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01914179546883507704noreply@blogger.com
