This is how you know you love him.
Me: Hey, I'm done with my shift, but I'll stick around and help you if you'd like.
Him: That would be great. Can you make the stuffed dates?
Me: If you show me how.
Him: Just take a date, stuff a piece of parmesan cheese and a sliver of pecan into it, wrap it in prosciutto and stick a toothpick through it. Once they are all stuffed, they go in the oven for ten minutes.
Me: OK, I can do that."
Him: Cool. I need 500 of them.
Me: starts stuffing cheese and pecans into dates...

Usually exasperated.
Hmmm... Wonder what ships well to Australia.
I thought you liked me for my mind.

Your mind doesnt make me horny, it makes me gooey on the inside.

I will say thank you on the assumption that that is a compliment.
Those dates were wicked tasty, by the way.

Sweet and crunchy and cheesy and bacony, all in one bite. How can you go wrong?
I've been making these things for over 15 years. Sometimes I swear I could do it in my sleep. It's a foam candy set up with a gelatin and syrup mixture, flavored with orange blossom water and vanilla. If you have never had home made marshmallow... well it is indeed something special.
It begins with the syrup and the gelatin:

Once, the syrup reaches temp you add the gelatin in and then drizzle the combined mixture into the two egg whites beaten stiff in the mixer. I can't even imagine doing this back in the day before a stand mixer. It increases in volume by a factor of at least six times.

You then pour it out onto a lined and powder sugared/corn starch dusted cookie sheet:

Once spread out, you dust it again with the powdered sugar/corn starch mixture and leave it out to set up for about a half day or so.

Then it's cutting time. The best way I have found is to use scissors.

Adrian, if I wanted to make these for tonight, what is the fastest they could set. And, is a candy thermometer absolutely necessary?
It'll be easier with a candy thermometer.
They take minimum two hours to set - being left in a dry space.
Do you want the recipe?
Yes, please. As well as the one for the crackers.


They look beautiful Darlin'. You did a great job. I like the rustic look myself. It's homemade and it should not be machinery production line perfect.
I'm tickled pink that you made them.
You're more than welcome. And thank you.![]()

You’ve definitely inspired me. I will let you know how the crackers turnout when using almond flour.
aha! so very pretty!This was a complete new one on me. Never even heard about until a few weeks ago. Once I heard about it however I knew I was going to end up trying it.

After processing, two jars:

We'll see if it sets up. I tasted a bit before processing. It was very good but I don't know how to describe the flavor. Floral but not perfume-y, a bit sweet and a bit tart.
