i'd really like to add my hard butterscotch crushed to shortbread cookies for a bit of added crunch. do you have any advice so that my cookies don't go terribly wrong? like make the butterscotch pale (cooked for less time) so that i don't have black butterscotch in my cookies :P! or perhaps it's just not a good idea? also do you know if corn syrup is necessary? because if it's just something think and syrupy i have molasses and honey. can i use one? which one would be better? yay! thank you!

[kooktocook]

@adianaybar1 Prepare as in the recipe vid. then crush and add to cookie dough (never tried?). Corn Syrup is required. KtC

[JessicaPersonalChef]

Looks wonderful! So easy to make. I need to get a candy therm. I only have a meat-type one without the little clip. Could I use a metal clip to secure it onto a pot?

[kooktocook]

@JessicaPersonalChef Not sure if would work correctly or not. I have a meat one here but I do not recall using it. I certainly use a candy one though as it makes a big difference with the sugars. They are fairly cheap. Usually in the supermarkets. With candy, the temperature can change really quick. I last made these at xmas. I enjoy hard candy too (making it more than indulging) as different types can be easily made (I have a peppermint, green candy posted somewhere). cheers, KtC

[kooktocook]

@msgoodgirl90 ...and tasty! Have a great day! KtC

[SundiMundi]

I love your videos. The music is hilarious though hahahaha. I am going to download it and play it while I make meals.

[MrsAlwaysMakeMeSmile]

Hey i have a question =D what can i use instead of corn syrup? :( if there is anything... =D thanks

[kooktocook]

Yes certainly. Corn syrup is basically a corn starch 'liquid glucose'. There are many types of liquid glucose produced throughout the world. Look for any 'glucose liquid syrup'. It is available in your part of the world either produced within Romania or imported from nearby. Check the baking section of the store. Let me know how it works out for you. cheers! KtC

[kooktocook]

it may also be under the name 'dextrose or maltose' both are a liquid glucose and used for cooking. KtC

[SaeYoung]

mmmm niceee

[cookingwithalia]

yummy! and so easy!

[CrystalNightFox]

Wow, Nice. I doubt I'd do this justice.

[kooktocook]

You may be surprised. I never had much luck with candy but the primary secret is the 'thermomter'. Some can get by with practise without it but makes it so much easier with it. I am certain this wouuld turn out for you. 'please try'. yummy. cheers! KtC

[anteracmacash]

how mutch would that be in celzius??? (you know...europeans and the metric system)

[kooktocook]

240F=115

250F=121

My videos will have either measurements, but not usually both. I am well aware of the metric system, I have used it all my life. cheers! KtC

[anteracmacash]

what's the difference between this and toffee ???

[mrlijones89]

nuts

[kooktocook]

nuts would work in this one. Place a nut in each cup before pouring in candy. cheers! KtC

[kooktocook]

This is a basic recipe. If you wanted toffee your close. It would include a heavy cream and be cooked just until the 245F. The toffee is poured and cooled a bit. It is then (messy) pulled/ worked by hand until a smooth shine is evident. mmmmtasty. cheers! KtC

[usafireandrescue]

Oh wow... I'm drooling over this one!  Wish you could leave some in my inbox! Great, great recipe KtC! Lots of hugs to you and yours...

[kooktocook]

We really enjoyed this candy and so easy to prepare for a quick treat. Thank you Amy, happy returns to you and yours. cheers! KtC

[freitasex]

O god, ummmm.

I want some now!

[kooktocook]

lol, I could use some more now too Mike. Tasty stuff and as good as most stuff at the store. Thanks a bunch, have a great day! KtC

[simbayukiwolf]

You know the rules, no meat no comment!

ehh.....

[kooktocook]

eh, he only wants meat eh?. Give him eh cold one to hold im over eh. eh sure is a cold day today though....eh should go someplace warmer....

[chaingangleader3]

Hey hi. Plan 2 do dis 4 christmas. Wat if i don't add d corn syrup. WAt can i substitute it with.

[kooktocook]

Sorry you definetly need it for basic candy. The liquid glucose this time. Just won't work without it. You could investigate an alternative but I have not seen a no-corn syrup recipe. Let me know if you do. cheers! (do you have an allergy or something for corn syrup or is it just difficult to find. Some candy use a light, others a dark syrup. KtC

[chaingangleader3]

No its difficult 2 find it easily here in India. like i have 2 search & search 4 it. Wat actually is the content of corn syrup

[leeta2001]

i'm from india too the equivalent of corn syrup would be glucose syrup ..i don't know how easily its available but i've seen sanjeev kappoor use it

[kooktocook]

Thank you for sharing the tip. Yes, corn syrup is used as a glucose syrup (liquid sugar) would in a recipe. cheers! KtC

[kooktocook]

I see. Corn syrup is a mix of starches and glucose. Used for cooking. Look for a similar cooking product primarily made of glucose. Candy is made in India too, so it is probably common. Let me know. cheers! KtC

[Julsinmaine101]

Im not sure they would actually taste like butterscotch...maybe like vanilla?or caramel candys

[kooktocook]

More darker sugar would bring out the butterscotch. cheers! KtC

[RagingConflagration]

Yummy!

[kooktocook]

oh yeah! KtC

[Texa41]

[kooktocook]

[Texa41]

[angielooo]

[Texa41]

That is fantastic! You're doing great! Maybe when I get to my goal weight as a treat I will make these candies HAHA :)

[prettyinpunk666]

I think you just helped me out with christmas gifts. Thank you!

[kooktocook]

They last for sometime so they are perfect. Happy to have assisted. cheers, KtC

[YaoMingLily]

Aww, I wanna make some!

[kooktocook]

Do it! lol

cheers, KtC

[YaoMingLily]

Haha I need corn syrup and butter and Vanilla. I basically have nothing!

[kooktocook]

Those are basics in my house lol. Just kidding, we make most candy ourselves so we try to have available. Easy and tasty treats. Thank you, KtC

[YaoMingLily]

Cool, I'd like to see more candy recipes! Thanks!

[laffleck1]

this would be great on popcorn!! yum!!

[kooktocook]

Toss really quickly (a bit at a time) over popcorn. Might be too hard. It would work though. Perhaps try the caramel sauce in 'Apples and Caramel/ #137' The sauce thickens ideal for popcorn. The recipe is easy everything is one part each. nice tip! KtC

[iceyjr3]

first! Hell to da yes!.....i love this!!! Ymmerz

[kooktocook]

Great easy candy. No thermometer? Once boiling rapidly drop small amounts in cold water until at a time, it turns to rock. It is ready. cheers! KtC
