I recently made these musk sticks and they are BRILLIANT !! They make excellent edible gifts and taste so much better than store bought musk sticks. These are now a firm family favourite.
Thank you Mr Kitchen, l stumbled upon this recipe a couple of yrs ago and have been making it ever since! My 8 yr old loooooves them! Waaaay better than store bought. The recipe measurements are to the T perfect:)
gluing gingerbread houses together with Musky royal icing. I've tried the traditional ones that came in a black and yellow bag, I didn't grow up eating it, so it was good to try it once. I most likely will buy some grape flavored. normal musk is too soapy for me...like how the air tastes like when you walk down the fabric softener aisle at the store. I'll try making some with malic acid and some fruit flavoring and making one thick roofing tile of it.
+Mr Kitchen yeah I know right. I don't know anyone (apart from myself, and you) who actually likes musk. Also, any tips on where to find musk essence ?? I can't seem to find it anywhere.
Is there a difference between gold and silver gelatin leaves? Can I just use the elcheapo ones? Don't want to screw up this wonderful treat! An Aussie living in Texas and the kids and I are craving musk sticks and were very excited to find your recipe..... we have everything except the gelatin leaves. Have I mentioned we are excited to make this!!
HAAAA!! WOOO HOOOO!!! Ok, for musk sticks you can use any gelatine - even el cheapo powdered - allow 2gm powder per sheet if so. You won`t screw it up. Where in the US did you get the musk essence? I thought it was as rare as hens teeth there! I have even posted some to a legend in Canada to keep the musk dream alive!! *Note - if you do use powdered gelatine, ensure your wet ingredients attain a gross weigh of 150 gm (powdered will not require soaking - just stir it right in) to compensate for the liquid otherwise soaked into sheets. Top up with coloured water as required and proceed as normal. Cool? Once prepared, it will begin to stiffen from the gelatine. No rush, just don`t dilly dally and be prepared. If it becomes unmanageable pop it under a warm lamp and it`ll be right as rain again. Gold, silver, platinum represent strength. It`s relevant more to preparations like delicate jellied recipes. My recipes are designed around gold sheet strength as standard. Others use platinum and thats not better or worse, their recipes are slightly different to allow for the added strength. I`m sure a gelatine geek would argue otherwise but let`s keep it real. If you have any pics will you post them? Stick `em on my FB wall? (facebook.com/chef.andre.delaine) Good luck!!!
+Ethan Castro Correct. It won`t be as pretty as gelatine sheets and it will form clumps when you initially stir, but the very gentle heat while you stir will dissolve it nicely. Just don`t boil the mixture while doing so - reduction may affect the recipe. Good luck!
+Ethan Castro Good question mate. Powdered gelatine does work - just do not pre-soak it in water** See more details on this above in the video description before you proceed. As for using corn syrup - I see no reason for it not to work; both are inverted sugars. Be sure to use a light corn syrup to ensure a bright colour.
+Jesse Castro Gelatine comes in so many packet sizes and this recipe relies on accuracy, so I use scales to weigh the gelatine + other ingredients. Good news for you is the recipe can be found in the video description above these comments - select "show more" and all will be revealed!! Good luck and thanks for your question Jesse!
I live in the US, where can I get the Musk essence? I love musk sticks, but they are crazy expensive to get shipped over here. If I could get the musk essence I could go made making it for myself
Hey Linda, Your best bet is to find a cake/ pastry supply shop with an extensive range of flavours, colours etc. if anyone has it, or access to it, it`s them. Let me know how you go - if you hit a road block I will pop some in the mail to you. PM my FB page: facebook.com/chef.andre.delaine
Every where I have check have never heard of it, My mother in-law bakes and decorates cake. She has never heard of it, but she is going to check with some of her suppliers, I've found some on my web searches but they don't ship outside of Aus. I will keep looking, Thank you for the offer, I will see if any of my Aussie family can find and send me some.
It`s prolific and cheap here - and light - my little bottle (net 25 ml - AU$5 ) weighs 75 gm so the good old family post is probably the way to go. Musk is awesome. Will you post a pic on Mr Kitchen`s Facebook when you make it? I would be incredibly proud and nominate you for a freshly minted award. I have discovered since posting this clip that musk is like another vegemite - another one for the rest of the world just scratch their heads in bemusement. I have seen videos of people trying it as " top ten weirdest candy`s of the world" - hilarious viewing.
Yeah I could do that, I have given musk sticks to some of my American friends , most screw up their noses and spit it out saying it tastes like deodorant, My husband on the other hand loves it, so making it would be great,
@@georgiavictoria591 correct. gelatine is derived from the bones and connective tissue of animals. Many vegan substitutes exist; its a matter of finding the correct one.
Nice one Liz. At the time of filming I believed the world knew about Musk - call it childhood naivety left unchallenged??!! . Turns out this super nostalgic sweet is mostly limited to Australian / New Zealand children ...and the world just scratches their heads wondering what we`re up to!! was a funny revelation.
+Robin :D In this case, a confectionary using synthetic food grade flavour. But it`s more than that - this stuff is a nostalgic trip for so many Australians and Kiwis - I never realised until I made this clip that the rest of the world doesn`t know of it.
Spot on. Though in this case its a synthetic confection flavour, triggering strong nostalgia for Australians. For a doe though? Probably makes it a little weary of Bucks close by...

So pleased you made them Annette - totally better than store bought!! I loooove making this stuff.

It`s an obsession for sure. Thanks for leaving a wonderful comment.
I've always wondered how to make these. Thanks for sharing! Looking forward to making them now.
Excellent behaviour Tom.
My five year old has been obsessed with this video for two years. We watch it every night
Thank you for taking the time to share this Steven. It`s so wholesome. Im humbled.
@@mrkitchentv it's the ONLY recipe for musk sticks on TH-cam. You might be the only person who can say that about anything?
@@stevendownes7508 epitaph material right there, huh. Its without doubt my favourite vid.
i loved that recipe and how you made the nice pink with the beetroots just wondering where you could get the musk essence in melbourne ???
i don't know how to get it in Australia in where i live either i live inSydney i went to every close cake shop but they had none
spotlight stores stock it and you can order it online from cakesaroundtown.com.au
Get it at spotlight.
Wondering if this recipe would work for the banana lollies if substitute the musk for banana flavor?
Totally! Looooove those banana lollies...

Makes great marshmallow too!!
reminds me of when i was a kid at school and buying it from the canteen. Nostalgic alright! Mind you thats about 17years ago lol
Takes me back every time. pure gold.
Thanks. ..I'm going to give it a go today ..and update. ..
OMG I LOOOOOOOOOVE MUSK !!! You are like the only person with a musk recipe on TH-cam!! Thank you sooooo much!
I KNOOOOOOW!! Musk makes me so bloody happy. Musk can bring world peace Evie...
+Mr Kitchen yeah I know right. I don't know anyone (apart from myself, and you) who actually likes musk. Also, any tips on where to find musk essence ?? I can't seem to find it anywhere.
Depends where you live Evie. Cake decoration and specialty bakeware shops with a range of flavour and essence will be able to source it for you.
+Mr Kitchen Thanks. I will have a look around and see what I can find. And as soon as I find it I will make some musk. :)
Omg I’m in England and I can’t buy musk sticks so this is such a lifesaver thx
Kami Kid it’s a must have! Nice lifesaver pun too..
Ikr I used to live in Australia and my dad had some in his office and we always used to snack on them
Jeez that’s pretty cool how you’re still responding to comments from 5
FIVE years ago
Amazing! Didn't realise it was so easy. And I love the beetroot! Genius!

Mr Kitchen
After hours of searching on google I gave up... but, my wonderful hubby found some, I think it was e-bay. It smell's awesome!!!
It`s the best.
I'm totally making this. What does it taste like
+Destiny Randazzo it`s pretty unique - like sweet musk perfume. You can use other flavours and colours quite easily too.
Is there anywhere online that sells musk essence? I haven't had musk sticks in forever and because I live in the US it's not like I can find locally.
It`s a mail order job for sure. These guys ship globally cakerswarehouse.com.au/products/naturalflavouring100mlmusk?_pos=1&_sid=a2c3dccb3&_ss=r
@@JohnRogers390 Thanks so much!
Looks wonderful but gelatin comes in different size paks. I have it in small paks. How much exactly (maybe weight or brand) do I need please?
Good question; one standard sheet weighs 2g, so this recipe calls for 6g total.
what do they taste like? they look delicious
They taste.....pink. Sweet musk perfume pink taste.
i love the taste of pink.
musk.. not so much.
Yep, this divides the crowd alright!
Nice one Minecraftmelon, natural colour is definitely a great option to have.
Thanks Jen! Give it a shot and let me know how you go. This stuff lasts forever ...but only if you hide it well!!
Wow that sounds amazing I wish someone could send me some
+Destiny Randazzo If you can`t find the flavour locally, just substitute it out for your favourite.
Can we use different flavourings for our musk sticks
+Ethan Castro Of course! Create your own flavour too and compliment the colour you choose.
@georgiavanderslot you can try Cake Deco in Port Phillip Arcade, in the city. Thanks for watching!
Legend I needed this for my mums bday
Can you use a plant based gelatine for these?
I havent tried. I reckon carrageenan could work though
One question when you put the powder gelatine in the cold water and when your done do you just pour the whole gelatine mixture
+Ethan Castro Correct. It won`t be as pretty as gelatine sheets and it will form clumps when you initially stir, but the very gentle heat while you stir will dissolve it nicely. Just don`t boil the mixture while doing so - reduction may affect the recipe. Good luck!
like this simple recipe,Love the lollie good one cheers
+Leanne Evans Cheers Leanne, thanks for watching!
Because yolk right, thanks bro loved the video
Thanks legend.
I wonder how musk sticks taste
Will corn syrup and powder gelatine will it work when making musk sticks
+Ethan Castro Good question mate.
Powdered gelatine does work - just do not pre-soak it in water** See more details on this above in the video description before you proceed.
As for using corn syrup - I see no reason for it not to work; both are inverted sugars. Be sure to use a light corn syrup to ensure a bright colour.
How many packets of gelatin do u use

Does vanilla extract work when making musk sticks
+Ethan Castro I reckon you would call them vanilla sticks in that case.
I live in the US, where can I get the Musk essence? I love musk sticks, but they are crazy expensive to get shipped over here. If I could get the musk essence I could go made making it for myself

Linda Charron G`day Linda, I learned some folks on this thread in the US sourced essence on Ebay. Hope this helps!
I was wondering if the recipe is suitable for Vegans
Depends on what gelatin you use. Im sure there would be a substitute. But gelatin is usually an animal bi-product.
In its current form? No due to gelatine. Next time I make it I will test a vegan option for you.
@@georgiavictoria591 correct. gelatine is derived from the bones and connective tissue of animals. Many vegan substitutes exist; its a matter of finding the correct one.
So light corn syrup works right
+Ethan Castro It should do. I have never used it for this recipe. Give it a try.
Does anyone know where to get the musk essence in Finland or other places within the EU?
is it like gum?
Nope, its a kind of soft-ish brittle texture.
Does it have to be a dark place?
A cool dark place like a cupboard will promote even drying i.e. keep it out of the sun!
Nothing better than a bit of deer gland juice...i actually do love this flavour though
has alarmed some viewers when google reports back...lots to unpack. Thankfully its synthetic, though we are replicating deer romance glands..
So we let it dry for a day right
+Ethan Castro Or two if it needs it. You`ll know.
And then I made this passionfruit tart....Yum!!

@@SuperNathan90 too right!
And I'm going to subscribe your channel
+Jesse Castro EXCELLENT BEHAVIOUR
I'm using raspberry flavoring in my musk sticks
+Ethan Castro Sweet! Sounds good man. Share the pics!! - heres my fb page: facebook.com/chef.andre.delaine/
You could probably eat it straight out of the piping bag lol!!
Have been known to do this. We're only human.
I was confused what musk sticks were then I searched the definition and came here to watch this

I want to know when your making a new video i want to show a Friends somethinh new
New vids up! What do you want to see?
what is musk??
+Robin :D In this case, a confectionary using synthetic food grade flavour. But it`s more than that - this stuff is a nostalgic trip for so many Australians and Kiwis - I never realised until I made this clip that the rest of the world doesn`t know of it.

wow, so much sugar kinda gross but kinda good!
Hey Benito! Thanks for the share. Yeah, its kinda wrong and but so right.
Check out markiplier
+Jesse Castro Yep. Well played.
Would you send me some that u make if I give u my p o box please it would mean the world
is it like gum?
More like those banana, soft chalky/chewy ones.......soooooo good.
