Puff candy remember it well Happy Memories
Linda
oh my gosh, Cheryl, you have a knack for pushing the buttons of us old timers XXX
I remember puff candy when i was wee too and loved. Now 50 years later the dental bills would put me off eating it again. But enjoyed the video and took me down memory of the sweets we had as kids.
We had the penny tray in the sweet shop. That was before decimilisation.
Take care😊😊
Thanks for showing us the small pan miscalculation. Nice to know we aren't alone in those type of fun times.
Pop some of these pieces into cellophane bags, tie with a ribbon and they make excellent gifts.
Here in Australia we call it honeycomb
Hi Pixiebelle, yep, NZ hokey pokey, love from locked down Melbourne 😆 🤣
@@debramage739 Ooooh! NZ Hokey Pokey ice cream!!! yummy!
From WA, not yet in lock down.
@@pixibelle3282 girl, on it. 😆, still my favourite.
When I was growing up, a local higher-end department store (now long gone) actually had a lovely candy counter with little ladies in white dresses to assemble your candy order. One of my favorite things were the special times my mother would let me get candy there. I always chose ‘Seafoam’, which was their version of puff candy, completely coated in chocolate. Sort of a irregular, blocky Crunchie Bar!
We always called it seafoam, too. I love it!
I instantly thought of a Crunchie Bar, too. One of my favourites, here in Canada.
Same thing, but it wasn't a department store, it was a small local candy store. Dad would bring home a half pound a couple times a year. Amazing stuff. Thanks for the memories.
Cinder toffee when I was little 70 years ago in Tyneside. My Uncle Tony made some once when I was visiting them down in Hampshire and the adults forgot one tray at the top of the cupboard. Us kiddies were so disappointed when it was discovered too late and it was no longer edible. I hadn't forgotten but I was too polite to speak up and ask about it. 😊
I do like that!!! No doubt yours with the chocolate on it would be better then the Cadbury's Crunchie's.🤤👍
Honeycomb! I have eaten this completely covered with dark chocolate. Now I know how to make it. Thank you for showing us.
It was like "Attack of the Monster Toffee" for a few minutes...wasn't it? Lol!
Over here in Northern Ireland, in the 80s when I was growing up, we could buy a bar of Ross's Puff Candy. I think they were made in Edinburgh, but covered in the cheapest, hideous cooking 'chocolate' and came in a red, blue and yellow wrapper, for 10p....MEMORIES! It was one of the sweeties we enjoyed at Hallowe'en and still would be a favourite ❤❤❤😋😋😋😋
😂 see it's tips like that I need I'm a great cook but you can't beat a tried and tested! ☺️
Such a fun recipe. Honeycomb is a popular old fashioned candy here in the US. Actually one of those thing we use to get at the county fair. Made by local ladies.
I like how you've done yours with just a drizzle of the chocolate, it's cute🧐
Puff candy tomorrow. Let’s see!
O my goodness.. I will try this today as I am going to visit a sweet Scottish niece here in Holland. We love us a crunchy bar😍 thank you for sharing 💕 love your recipes
Thank Cheryl it’s Friday!
Me and my bestie made honeycomb 2 weeks ago. A pair of oldies too. Thanks Cheryl 😊 🙏
Hit replay immediately, I've been waiting for this one!
I have no trouble finding Golden syrup in Chicago, can't wait to make this, it's a favorite of my son-in-law and boyfriend.
Be careful, please don't burn yourself.
Oh m gosh!!!! I remember my Gran made this once for me as a wee girl & SOOOOO delicious ~!!!! I am gonna have a go of this we called it HOKEY-POKEY !! Just never knew the ingredients !!! Yippppeeee!! Thank you for posting this!!!
This is kinda similar to peanut brittle. I make about 6 lbs. every Christmas to give to family and friends. Of course the difference is the peanuts and some added butter. But peanut brittle requires exact cooking to certain temperatures, thus requires a candy thermometer. It's worth it! This puff candy looks SO good and SO much easier, I am definetly going to give this a try!
That particular chocolate bar was my absolute fav growing up. I will definitely give it a go over the weekend. Thanks for your appetizing uploads 👍
Didn't realise this was quite so simple Cheryl. I've 𝐠𝐨𝐭 to try this one.👍😁
Good morning x Cheryl yes I will try your recipe. We used to call it cinder toffee. Thanks for dish. X
Looks like a lovely treat👌🏻 Greetings from Scotland 😊 Have a wonderful day everyone 🌻
Def going to try this.....love a crunchie:)
Ooh yum gonna give that a try. Born in South Africa so used to golden syrup but every since coming to Seattle USA 24 yrs ago I miss it but glad you have an alternative to the golden syrup. Love watching your what's for tea on Sunday evenings.
Yum! We call this Seafoam where I'm from. Love it! Also good covered in chocolate 🍫 😋
That looks wonderful, Cheryl. It's not something I would make or eat because of the sugar, but you did take me on a trip down memory lane and, in the process, I found out a few things about the Australian version. Here it's known as Violet Crumble (Cadbury's Crunchie is its competitor). It started out being made by Hoadley's Chocolates in Melbourne in 1913. Hoadley called it Violet Crumble in honour of his wife who loved violets and her favourite colour was purple so the bar has a purple wrapper. He covered the bars in chocolate because he found that the honeycomb was hygroscopic. The chocolate coating stopped the pieces from going soft and sticking to each other. It is still made and sold here, but now it's produced by Robern Menz in Adelaide, South Australia.
Brilliant mate this might be the best non dairy treat to make with the bairn. thanks loads
Looks amazing. This looks like a fun thing to make with my granddaughter at Halloween. Thank you.
That looked amazing to me. Thanks for sharing 👍 🥰
I added this to try for my holiday menus this year. That if I can wait that long LOL
Don't wait.
Puff candy too, here in Dundee .
I'm The States it's called Sea Foam or Honeycomb. I LOVE a Crunchie bar and will definitely try this!
Good morning Cheryl. I can feel a visit to the dentist coming on 😂
OohhI’m a happy bunny now………. I’m mad about chrunchie-bars, but we can’t get them here in Denmark (I stock up whenever I’m home in the Faroes 😜 ) but now I can make them maself, THANX sweet Cheryl!! Take care and keep up the good work 🥰💕
That looks delicious
Love this stuff. Much better than the traditional Crunchie even lol.
My favorite! In NY where I grew up, they made an orange flavored version with dark chocolate and a plain version with milk chocolate, so delicious 😋
Mmm this is one of my favs 😍
Yummy. I'm gonna try it. TY so much for showing us the pans.
Wow, that does look delicious and easy to make, I always thought you used butter as well, definitely will be trying this recipe 😁
I tried this once and it was completely coated in chocolate. So delicious!!
Growing up on Tyneside in the 50s and 60s we called it Cinder Toffee...
I have a recipe similar to this that I use to make various nut brittles.
Oh my! 😋 I’m definitely going to try this! Looks delicious! Thanks for sharing!
You’re a brilliant cook and lovely too. 🥰
I use soda to make pecan pralines and caramel for caramel corn. I think I must use less in proportion but it does make a very light candy! I need to try this one- I love honeycomb candy!
I know it as honey comb, looks delicous, especially with the chocolate, ours was fully coated in the chocolate.
I love this stuff I call it Cinder Toffee but I don't really care what it's called it's just gorgeous. For a moment there though I thought it was going to be chasing you out of the kitchen !! 🤗 Will definitely give it a go keeping your advice on container size much in mind. Xx
This looks delicious. Fun, too! Thanks for sharing.
Cream Kraker love it...i am gonna make this as, like you, as a wee boy i bought it daily on my way to skool and scoffed tons of it....
Good Morning Cheryl.
looks scrumptious, I will attempt a go at making this,
have a nice weekend love from Manchester xx
Looks fabulous and I love anything caramel tasting, honeycomb looks delicious
love cinder toffee aye reminds me a the fun fair lol
Great video. I absolutely love puff candy! In small doses 😂 I know you aren’t a fan Cheryl but get yourself to the esplanade cafe in Greenock they do amazing ice-cream and you can get puff candy flavour!
That's Hokey Pokey ice cream to us in New Zealand has been a favourite since I was a kid in the 60s and still one of the top sellers now.
Looks delicious! Love honey comb!
definitely trying this it looks delicious
I will be making this cheryl..thank you.
I love this stuff! My first time to have it was in a natural bin store where you could buy granola and nuts in Phoenix.
💋🧚🏻♀️❤️🇺🇸
Looks delicious 👍
You can put pecans, or unsalted or salted peanuts into it after you pour it in the dish and it's pretty good! Lol it changes the recipes taste enough that your people think you are such a rock star in candy making. But all you did was change the toppings!
Looks really good. Thanks
Yummy 🤤 looks delicious x
Looks delicious Cheryl I’ll be giving that a go at the weekend, lv done the fudge with the crunchy on top it was 😋. Have you tried making a leek pudding, l used to love them , I’ve tried making one but it didn’t turn out good.xx
Wow nice vlog Cheryl
Looks delicious
Looks yummy and well worth eating x
So interesting this. I had this honeycomb candy in Oshkosh, Wisconsin in the United States. It is still made fresh in one of the oldest sweets shops there and Wisconsin folks claim it is their traditional candy. Thank you again for another fascinating episode.
I just became a Patron of your channel.
I remember our dad making this for us years ago. Yes! it’s Puff Candy in this house as well😀
Must have a go. I do make lots of Tablet for many occasions
Thank You for sharing.
❤️🏴🏴🏴
Looks wonderful. I must try this someday. I had a recipe for caramel corn that called for baking soda years ago. It always tasted so good.
Thank you so much for this video! Right after seeing it, we wondered if the candy could be spooned into a lined miniature cupcake baking pan? That way, the portions might be even without the need for a hammer. (It's also easier to stop premature candy sneaking since you will know how many pieces you spooned out. ) Best wishes from Steina & Ford (Georgia, U.S.A.)
Hokey Pokey if in ice cream here in New Zealand, Crunchie if in our Cadbury's bar manufactured in my youth in my home city of Dunedin. Mum used to make it all the time, just on sight. Thanks for the video, Cheryl. Plus check out the great Chrunchie Bar robbery add on TH-cam.
OMG! Used to love this as a kid and had completely forgotten about it! Just happens that today I found a big bag of caster sugar I’d forgotten about at the back of a cupboard; and also have golden syrup … better hide the bathroom scales 😬
3rd try lucky Cheryl. Guess what helped me nail it... one of them candy thermometers. Game changer. Still keeping the first two attempts' footage.
Am I in the gang now? Haha
My Mom always called this sea foam and she would dunk the broken pieces in melted chocolate 🤤
Making this xx 😘
I just ordered golden syrup cause of this
I love making this stuff, I remember the first time I made it, completely got all the measurements wrong, the pot was far to small and I ended up a stick mess but it tasted delicious. Would be amazing if there was a lower sugar version.
Love this stuff. My dad used to make it. What size of saucepan do you use. Is it a granite coated one? Cannie wait to give it a go.
If you add raw peanuts to this mixture you will have peanut brittle. Delicious.
oafttttt will be trying this
Hi didn't realise how easy it seems to make. Might not be so easy for me though 😂 xx
In Northern England they call it Cinder taffy .
You can just put granulated sugar in a food processor for zap a couple times for a few seconds and it's just like caster sugar..
From USA, call this "seafoam candy". Have seen plain, and chocolate coated.
I'm from the East Coast US and where I work we call it sponge.
The greaseproof paper sticks to the candy! Should it be oiled, buttered?
Hi Cheryl, I tried it and like you never had a big enough dish, plus i think i burnt the mix as i did not have a thermometer,
I do however have a question, I would like to do it again, as i do not have a dish large enough would it spoil the recipe if i halved the ingredients?. thanks your recipes they are great.
How long does it take to cool down before it's OK to smash and guzzle it all please?! 🥰
I made this last night. Left it in the pot too long and it turned to concrete when it set. Just getting attept 2 prepped the now. Keep ya posted
Attempt*
If l wanted to make green mint puffcandy as that's my childhood favourite, would l just put mint essence and green colouring in it
So, it's like making peanut brittle.
Yes, that was cinder toffee!
Mate 2 tries at this. The second one looked the part but when it set it was concrete. Any ideas what I'm doing wrong?
We used to call this Cinder toffee
I share your videos on Facebook
