How To Make Candy as a Christmas Gift

[kentymimi]

还不错哦...

[harveyshideout]

you guys are hilarious, i keep thinking you might do a line of coke off camera. anyway i am trying to make nougat for a bakery i run, its not very well known in Canada, i noticed yours seem to have a crack when you bite it in half, was it hard work to chew? I say because i have not put the coco butter in mine, do you think it would be better a bit softer?

[ginalawrence]

I made this yesterday and just finished wrapping them today. They came out sooo good!! I'm so happy to have made it and have it turn out just like in the video! Thank YOU so much for sharing this recipe!

[iloveu26877]

i was wondering do u mix everything then take the honey to the oven without stirring again right....

[kpnctob]

i write from France and i'm glad to see that cooking talent has no nationality !!! I was searching for a nougat recipe and from all the ones i found yours is the best explained and described ! Bravo madame !!

[hlubmeme]

@hlubmeme I mean stir not storing....

[hlubmeme]

So when you started to stir or mix the honey with the white egg and Im was guessing that how can the candy turn to white was it's that you just storing until it turn or what? Please answer my question please

[Dunollieman]

We're in America,i.e. we use Imperial measurement not Metric.

[MissTongCY]

May i ask how big is that pan? besides, can i use butter instead of coco butter? thx for ur amazing recipe, really wanna try it out:)

[JennaArthur12186]

could you write the ingredients in terms of teaspoons, cups etc?

[cotton1983]

I just find it ironic that you are using metric. Everywhere I look it is always american standard.

[edvinasal]

@cotton1983

In professional kitchens they use metric grams, because that is more accurate.

[cotton1983]

@edvinasal oh I fully agree. I am just not use to seeing it in a kitchen

[Thegardeninggal49]

Bril  !!!!!

[fredarogers]

I have made some french nougat but without the cacao butter because I used a different recipe, but my nougat has not set at all. Is this becasue I did not use any caco butter?

Freda Rogers

[nanonear777]

I would put dried fruit in one little pan and nuts in the other. :)

[Katiedidcakes]

YOU DO NOT HAVE TO USE COCOA BUTTER. IT IS HARD TO FIND IN MANY AREAS ALTHOUGH YOU CAN ORDER IT ONLY IF YOU LIKE.

THE ALTERNATIVE IS TO USE COCONUT OIL. IT COMES IN SOLID FORM BUT WILL MELT AT BODY TEMP SAME AS COCOA BUTTER. I USED IT TONIGHT AND MY NOUGAT TURNED OUT FINE.

[mcgoos5]

cocoa butter is not freely available in New Zealand :/ hmmmmm

[SuperYellowGirl]

@mcgoos5 Hi! This recipe its like the Spanish hard nougat with almonds, or "Turron duro de almendras o Turrón de Alicante"... (Only needs honey, sugar, almonds, lemon and egg white. You can add pistachio or whatever you want). I hope you will be helpful.

[virgingirl26]

I so gonna look her up in chicago

[achi0602]

just want to know, is the cocoa butter necessary? can I make this without it? =)

[choclatchipcookie]

ingrediënts : -275 gr roasted almonds -130 gr roasted pistachios -145 gr water -440 gr sugar -345 gr honey -90 gr liquid glucose or corn syrup - 115 gr cacao butter -70 gr egg whites -20 gr sugar -50 gr dried cherries please thumb up :)

[pirrellicat]

Thanks for this. I have been thinking about making this for a long time since seeing torrone in my local Italian coffee shop. Here goes...

[djfuze187]

Good video. Its just a shame you americans don't know how to prenounce your words correctly. Its called English for a reason. We invented it. I just with you learnt how to use it correctly. You say nougat wrong and it annoys me so much.

[HelloWorld1947]

@djfuze187-well, well, if u invented English (which u didnt Jesus the creator did) then why did u spell wish (as with) wrong, and learnt wrong also? take out the log in ur own eyes before u take the speck out of someone else 's eyes, Okay? Jesus said that by the way.

[Zellophine]

@djfuze187 You're obviously not very engaged with linguistics *shrugs*

[dodgechallenger2008]

@djfuze187 Hahaha...that's why we are American's...now go get me a cup of tea...two lumps of sugar please! Ooh, and may I have a bundkuchken? Ooh, haha...I just love how I annoy you...I'm feeling snooty!

[maxyhealth70]

To Make nougat in best way you have to cook the honey in a separate sauce pan and bring it at 125C and the sugar, glucose and water at 146C.

So, when the sugar mix reach the 115C then turn on the heat for the honey and bring it at 125C (not over) and pour it in the egg whites, in meanwhile the sugar mix will be at 146C, ready to pour in the egg whites! Proceed for the rest of the ingredients!

[sirenamagi]

thank you a million times for this vdeo and lesson on how to make nougat. back home in Puerto Rico we call it turron and enjoy it every christmas. my grandma used to make it. thank you. now I'm going to make it for my children.

[MYHOLLANDGIRL]

Thats not such an easy recipe. I mean, who has glucose in their pantry? and the nougat seems too hard to bite and can loosen a filling? Doesn't she have a great, easy brownie recipe or something? :)

[eeristavi]

Yummy! I'm living in Greece now and I really miss my winter nougats

[dandone4]

i've tried it ,its alot of honey and it never came out the same colour!!

[missjava4ever]

greaaat..i love it ..

[JayJayhope]

This candy is at every Italian store or fair I have ever been to. It's delicious!

[alltimelowsluv]

wait a second.. in chicago... i live in chicago..

i can go get some!!!!!!! <that doesnt sound good xD

[gypsyabbey9]

i put a pikachu sticker on the bak of my computer

[BPLAAA]

isn't thet too much plastic packing for someone who buy's organic food??

[Shino4142]

@debbiepeter Same here! I'm wondering if it has to do with using generic store-brand honey, rather than organic farm-fresh.

[MrsADBook]

This looks like a fun recipe to make with your teens!

[debbiepeter]

ok I tired it one the colour comes out wrong its wayyyy to brown and two it really tastes of honey!!! Not liking that at all.... going to try out others see how well it works out....

[luticia]

@debbiepeter EXACTLY THE SAME,here!! Did it 5 mintues ago and it went totally wrong, it looks and tastes exatctly like yours. I'm very dissapointed cause should be a X-mas gift....

[mel98able]

has anyone tried to do this at home does it work out well? I want to make it for christmas but i don't know if it'll work

[DrinkingChefs]

That looks awesome!

[BLRadler]

Some facts about really original Nougat de Montellimar:

There is no cocoa butter

There are (in classical Nougat) never more than 2 % of almonds and

the honey should be "miel de lavande" (at least 25 %)

But it is a very nice idea for christmas!

[Sstirr]

OMG it looks sooo good!!! Great christmas gift idea! I just subbed!

[MyLilSwagga313]

her face is hastarical after he says "or even fruit cake". ahahahaha. :D

[dvdfrnzwbr]

Uhmm... I hope I get some with dog hair in it.

[vivianqiu]

what's the song?

[Ezradanielv]

I want some nougat at Christmas time!

[fairycarol29]

i love it!!!!!

[piano0011]

hey guys! Just wondering how come my nougat attempt is still not quite set? It is still a bit sticky. Does this have anything to do with the syrup not being hot enough? I have even tried to refrigerate it as well but no luck. Thanks!

[shadow7385]

@piano0011 the same mine, even not the same colour , something totally wrong....:(

[ShaunWhiteismyGinger]

Damn banana and fruit cake!

[vitodamico]

I watched it while eating freash nougat. Do it! You’ll love it.

[jihahmj99]

I just adore Tiramisu and Hazelnuts Toffee Cups ! (Y)

[thelipgloss10]

i LUV candy canes can you teach us how to make cady canes = )

[Oreocremerocks]

This comment is late, or early.....?? Anyway Divinity is my most favorite Christmas candy treat of all time. Sadly no one in my family can make it like my Aunt did. I have made a passable batch a time or two, but its just missing that one little something she did, that made hers so special.

[camelgirl21]

That looks so good. I don't know where to get cocoa butter.

[dillpickleboocutie]

Do I have to add cocao butter?

[dillpickleboocutie]

I don't do things in grams D:

[whoo689]

It's too bad the moron bureaucrats shut her down.

[ohdrdr]

Thank you for great generosity in sharing this technique. Recipes for nougat are abundent on the internet, but this demonstration is priceless.

Cocoa butter is used because it is solid at room temperature, and the subtle taste compliments instead of overwhelming the flavors of the other ingredients. Clarified butter (ghee) or coconut oil may be used, but their taste will dominate the nougat.

[cherie88cc92]

what is cocoa butter?

[cherie88cc92]

can i not use the candy thermometer?

[shaks0729]

HI Flora.. is it possible to substitute fresh eggwhites to egg albumen powder? if so.. what is the ratio of one egg to a powder albumen? Thanks. I like your video alot, been watching it several times, specially when my nougat failed was checking what I've missed.

[zorroks97]

hwy isnt shee fat ?

[drakota28]

is nougat need cooling in freezer overnight ? please someone help me... how to make nougat hard ? or not too soft ?

[ohdrdr]

@drakota28

 Freezing is not required.

Try boiling your your syrup to the hard crack stage, and using cocoa butter that is firm before heating.

Good luck.

[venuebien]

Amazing - thank you for sharing!

[Neria9]

Excellent! Great recipe!

[Graybay25]

omg me and my mom tried it and it was sooooo good

[lradist]

Looks amazing. If you want to dip in chocolate, any suggestions which is the best type?

[LenaCS]

I'd say dark or bittersweet?

[LvKitten]

I think Pumpkin Pie has to be my favorite holiday treat. I don't do anything fancy, just pie crust and pumpkin custard, but it's a family favorite and a hit at potlucks.

Btw - you guys rock. I really enjoy your show. Happy Holidays!

[PyroTurk]

My favorite food for the holidays is my great grand mothers molasses cookies. She only showed my mom how to make them so I was spoiled. XD

[rogueelite]

wtf is this song??? its so catchy!!

[EquusFossil]

this video was so relaxing to watch

[tmjvtxtmjvtx]

logged in just to say well done. I often feel like i waste my time on the tube. This video was informative, fun and not snobby but well produced. Thanx to hungrynation.

[thepiuma]

well,if you like this stuff, just check the italian Torrone in one of it's hundreds versions. After all this stuff is born in the Mediterranean sea, but the spanish (turron) make it a bit different from us and in less way. check the italian page of wikipedia if you want some example. cheers :-)

[Matdildi]

Happy holidays to you too!I love chocolate , coffe cakes and biscuits!

[ThePivotGuy]

whats the song when theyre making it

[masoncat1]

These are delicious with dried cranberries, and pistachios.

[PsyogiBottoms]

Thanks for sharing this - excellent!

Chocolate covered Pretzels! love them....:?)

[n3rdbear]

So that's how nougat is made! Now I can make my own Snickers! xD

[sooth15]

Max: "...or fruitcake." Rebecca: *makes face* LOL

[luckyodeler]

Well I'm allergic to chocolate, but I made a white cake with creme brulee topping, and a homemade caramel raspberry sauce instead of flamed sugar on top of that. It was neat because the whites went in the cake, and the yolks went in the custard. I used the same pan for the creme and cake, and put down some reusable parchment paper to pour the creme onto. Then I had to slap it down on top of the cake, kind of like in the tortilla espanola episode.

[PrincessSushii]

In Sweden, we always make almond butterscotch cups for Christmas. I could eat infinite amounts of that stuff! My family also makes "Mozart truffles" which is basically nougat wrapped in marzipan, covered in dark chocolate and dusted with cocoa.

[BlindCharade]

mozart truffles <3

they're difficult to find in canada.

and i always request them from friends overseas.

UGH THEY ARE SO GOOD!

[PsyogiBottoms]

That sounds INSANE-ly good! lol Mozart Truffs for me - please! lol

[jihahmj99]

@PrincessSushii The way you describe the Almon Butterscoth Cups and MOzart Truffles is so delicous-with-the-capital-D .. :D

[PrincessSushii]

@jihahmj99 They are delicious!

[11moii]

@PrincessSushii Butterschotch cups? Wut? Vad menar du med det? 

[PrincessSushii]

@11moii

knäck.

[aglanceatmyworld]

My fav is mom's cherry cheesecake! So yummy!

[sn0w1et]

great video, i guess i'm gonna do this one for tomorrow

any place where you can get the complete recipe showned in the show??

thank you!

[tokyoxjapanxfan]

that looked fantastic. and i loved when you mentioned the banana. hahaha

[turnthepage]

my fav treat would be thumbprint cookies :)

[unforgetful22]

where can i get the recipe

[Mrsjackie1]

I love fruit cake

[limalicious]

I love Claxton Georgia and Harry and David's fruitcakes. They've got big chunks of fruit and nuts, not too much cake, and they're not nasty, rum-soaked, aged blocks of inedible crap.

[hunthicks]

I love fruitcake. Which always works in my favor, since noone else seems to :-P

[homemadeshenanigans]

dam banana

[ddnn3]

What cam are you guys using. Looks great.

[wcfoodies]

We shoot on the Canon 5D MarkII. It's a beautiful camera, thanks for noticing!

[chibifieddoom]

Every year I make chocolate covered candy canes. There so good

[travelsized17]

Saltine toffee... so yummy, so easy.

[montfac]

mmm. mexican wedding cookies- they're buttery deliciousness

[missiworld]

Awesome. Thanks, guys.

[nm7kneeslapper]

yay! the beard is back!

[KillerBruinTeddybear]

I SO LOVE FRENSH NOUGAT!!!!!

damn i so love this video! (A)

[riotspark]

Frosted Oatmeal Cookies. Especially if they're still soft.

So good!

[bellesandwhistles]

I love the look Rebecca gave Max when he said "Or even fruitcake."

[arimethia]

Favorite Holiday Treat in my family: Spritz cookies. We split up the batter and ad different colors of food dye to each bowl. It makes a rainbow of tasty buttery cookies that look so pretty on a plate waiting for Santa.

[PostCardStories]

I absolutly love these video's, especially this one and the candy apples you guys made (despite it not working out). I work at a local candy shop and we're aiming to start to make more of our own stuff, homemade.

As for your question, favorite seasonal candy: Sponge toffee. It's so tasty, but so bad for your teeth.

[jacksongarrel]

That looks fantastic!

Too bad I already made all my confections for my family.

I made peppermint bark. MMM

But, yah. Kudos. And my favorite holiday confection is fruit cake. Diss all you want.

There is market near my town that has some homemade fruitcake that is AMAZING.

[blaqhawkz]

that looks good makes me wanna try that

[Pinkpoobear]

umm... it looks great!
