I’m going to try this when I get home today. Only thing I don’t have is a thermometer. I’m going to attempt to do this without one, if it don’t set up and I will pour it on a stump
Update: I found out you can check if you are at the cracking point if you put a drip of the hot molasses in a cup of cold water. It will either turn hard or dissipate. I did a gallon of molasses and converted the recipe as needed. However, I did have to boil it for about 2 hours.
I see in your ingredients list it says 32oz cup for mold. What is this for? Does the block mold or mildew when it’s out for a while. Thanks man! Looking forward to trying this!
No, sorry. I just saw this. With covid and everything I’ve been distracted while trying to keep my family away from that BS. By mold, I meant “to shape it, to give it the form of a block. Sorry for the confusion.
My son just made this, although it’s not as pretty I’m very proud that he followed your video and did it! We will see how the deer like it.
That’s awesome. Let me know how it turns out. I’m working on a couple myself. I’m putting them out today!
Just did this man, Holy hell this works good. Never did any hard crack stuff so it was fun and interesting for me. Putting it out tomorrow
Can't wait to try ...getting nephews involved.....thank you
Just made two blocks. Thanks for the recipe.
You’re welcome, good luck and happy hunting!
Very cool
Nice job!
If use liquid molasses do I still have to boil it?
Sir, candy makers have the highest calling! You make candy and get free deer meat! you may qualify for sainthood. ;)
LOL, a man has to keep those deer happy!

Thanks man!!!
If your block still runny what do u do i mix everything right still runny
Did you heat it to the right temp? If you don’t get it right to the crack point it won’t harden
Just made 3 double batches. Thanks for the shared knowledge. House smells highly of molasses too.
I’m using dried molasses and it’s turning to mush what am I doing rong ?
Using dried molasses because it has to boil and reach that rock candy consistency to harden.
you're doing great but you always got to remember to turn your sideways when recording
