craftyhunnypie Posted November 2, 2007 Share Posted November 2, 2007 Hmmm, I attempted to be a domestic godess tonight ( I usually am) I thought I'd make Hokey Pokey & Bonfire Toffee to take with us to my sisters tomorrow ( she's having a bommie on her farm)!!! Anyway - here is my attempt at hokey pokey - yes that is a non stick greased silicone tray....& that is the hokey pokey after much s"Ooops, word censored!"ing!!! The pallet knife is stuck!! NYWAYS, I have now got bonfire toffee on the go. I'm hoping for better results!!!!! Emma.x Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
craftyhunnypie Posted November 2, 2007 Author Share Posted November 2, 2007 How long shall I leave it in the fridge to set for?? Emma.x Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jomaxsmith Posted November 2, 2007 Share Posted November 2, 2007 Is the first one the recipe you add a load of bicarb to and it fizzes up? I made it one year and it wasn't very nice! I find with Nigella there are a couple of recipes I use over and over and the rest just seem so expensive to make I don't bother doing them twice!

craftyhunnypie Posted November 2, 2007 Author Share Posted November 2, 2007 Erm - yes - it did fizz! It was the last recipe posted on the forum in the hokey pokey / all things nice post. Don't think I'll be making it again! Think the bonfire toffee will be fine as it had set on the spoon after I'd put the tray in the fridge so fingers crossed. Kitchen smells yummy! Will I need to coat it in a sprinkle of icing sugr to stop it sticking together in the gift tin? Or leave it as it is once I've smashed it all up?!

ubereglu Posted November 3, 2007 Share Posted November 3, 2007 Hee, hee!!! It's not as impressive as when I first made honeycombe though Emma. I made it, it stuck to the paper. Then I managed to get it off the paper and then put it onto a cooling tray. I woke up in the morning to find the cooling tray had got stuck to the side by the cooling tray as the honeycombe had seeped through it!!! After a lot of boiling water we eventually got it all cleaned up. Mum found it too funny to be cross luckily! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lesley Posted November 4, 2007 Share Posted November 4, 2007 I dropped the spoon into my Honeycomb Toffee as I was pouring it out onto the tin - the phone rang and made me jump! It came out when we broke up the cold toffee though! I'm making it again today Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
