candied yams, yo.

I never knew this was a thing. Weird.

Egg whites - whipped.

Syrup made from sugar, water and a bit of corn syrup - boiled to temp.

Gelatin, orange blossom water, vanilla extract - dissolved and added to syrup after it reaches temp.

Then add the gelatin syrup mix to the egg whites and beat the snot out of them until they're big, white and fluffy. Spread them out in a prepared pan.

Fucking awesome deliciousness. My grandmother used to make them.

Christ that's a lot of work. I'd love to try them though.

Sugar and Vanilla are the base. All else is for 'structure.' Well, except for the Orange Blossom, Nouveau Cuisine additive.

fluffernutters are good. rocky road is good. you people are fools who deserve only pain.

Shush, you! or no more naked BT pics...oh wait...dang

The only reason I ever bought marshmallows was to add them to sweet potatoes for my dad. I'd buy the nasty things by the truckload if dad was still here and I could make candied sweet potatoes for him one more time.

I thought we were bad eating food with hair growing on it. I haven't had pork scratchings in forever.

Don't be an ass. It's candy. And it's a recipe that's probably as old as my now dead grandmother.

Of course it is, all candy is sugar based. It's the equivalent of Angel Food Cake with sugar replacing the flour.

I got fed better in prison.

I'm only responding because all I can think is WHY...there has to be a rule in the Geneva Convention against such a thing!

Haha!

There is, but you know how rebellious Fata is.

No I mean it's homemade candy and one should be happy about homemade candy. It's a damn rarity and something of an art that is not applied nearly enough.

So quit being all persnickety. It's candy and one should be happy about it. Dammit.

This is true. I always blow torch them before I skin them.

I used to enjoy pulling toffee until I found out they had a machine that did it faster.

You probably bought a fleshlight too.

Pulling candy is hard work.

I prefer the foam candies - marshmallows and nougats. Although I do make a mean English toffee.

Fuck me. It's like The Hills Have Eyes in this thread now.

You can't beat a pint of lager and a packet of pork scratchings at the local.

But who knew their hair continued to grow post cooking!

She was just practicing for the phil finale...honest.

Maybe Marsh Mallows are native to New England. There was no Lyle's syrup or corn syrup. They used the liquid from the flowering plants.
