160g butter chopped,
1 1/4c brown sugar,
1 1/4c white sugar,
1c milk powder,
1/3c boiling water,
2tbsp golden syrup, 1/2 c white choc melts and
few drops vanilla essence.

Place all ingredients into a good size saucepan, cook on low heat until all has melted stirring constantly.
Bring to boil, then boil, simmer stirring constantly until the mixture is golden brown and forms a soft ball in cold water or reaches 114c (about 10-11 minutes). Remove from heat, add white choc, stir until melted and blended then pour into a greased tin. Cool, then mark into squares. Cut into pieces when set.

To mothergoose_nz.... Re your thoughts on Jersey Caramels.... Have experimented a little with different recipes. Note the last two recipes are quyite close but using a milk powder base rather than Condensed Milk. The second recipe was quite close re texture and the taste is slightly sweeter and smoother. This one came out very nice but wouldn't have too many at once though. The first one is okay especially if one does not have choc melts. Cheers

Bumping for The-archer.. and a delicious marshmallow recipe..

juliewn - 2008-03-24 00:25:00

Easy yummy marshmallows These are great 1pkt jelly crystals any flavour esp raspberry 1 & half cups sifted icing sugar 1 cup water coconut ,optional choc for coating esp dark choc is good! put jelly and water in a pot and boil/simmer for at least 5min remove from the heat and cool add icing sugar and beat until pale and light, drop spoonfuls on a tray lined with baking paper and coconut,once set, coat with melted choc,or more coconut these are nicer the next day,as the flavour seems to develop more,I made these at work for easter,ps if the choc is too warm when you coat them they melt a bit! You can also pour the mix into a sponge roll tin let it set and cut into squares,its easier to coat with choc that way

the-archer - 2008-03-24 15:42:00

Muesli Choc Slice 4 1/2c toasted muesli, 1/4 c icing sugar, 1/4c cocoa, 1c coconut and 250g Kremelta. Place the toasted muesli, icing sugar, cocoa and coconut in bowl. Melt Kremelta in a saucepan.

top marks for the ginger fudge I was inspired to make the ginger fudge as i had all the ingrediants and it sounded scrumptious. It turned out really well, i used my microwave at full power for 8-9 mins to melt and boil the liquids, you have to be careful though that you have a very large glass container as the ingrediants can boil over, a very large heatproof glass jug is the best for this. many thanks to valentino

Bumping for eurika Chocolate making, mostly on the first page....

valentino - 2008-04-30 15:21:00

Chocolate coated fudges, honeycombs etc.... Just a bit of adding a novelty touch... When there are pieces of fudge etc, try brushing on some melted choc of choice (dark, milk or white) on exposed surfaces, allow to set then flip them over and finish off completely coated in chocolate. Then if one did a variety, could be a mixed collection with a sort of surprise to them, noting a hidden whatever one notes.... One could even personlise them a little. Just a thought. Cheers

valentino - 2008-05-01 13:49:00

Bumping for slice no-baking..... a long shot ??? Try coconut ice (the condensed milk recipe from first page of this thread) into a thinnish topping onto a biscuit like for example "Krispie" biscuits, should have a nice coconut taste all through and quite a novel though perhaps, just a wee thought for no baking scenario.... Cheers
