    As a lifelong candy maker, I still found this video informative and entertaining; it even took me out of a very blue mood, putting me 8nto an almost festive mood. Thanks.

    I love Claire's videos, she always shows us not just the recipe but all the extra steps to to successfully make the dessert, I love her tips and appreciate these videos, feels like I'm taking a baking class, I wish she'd do a macaron video soon🥰

      Any reason why this couldn't be done in a standing mixer? With a paddle attachment, I suppose.

    • @chelseanyland
      @chelseanyland 2 роки тому +2

      @@annika1582 I think you could do it in the stand mixer, providing you're conscious of not over-aerating it. I'm going to assume that you have more speed/mixing control with a handheld.

    It’s not always broken sometimes it just needs some time off (after the smoke comes out) and it works again. I have « broken » 4 blenders and mixers like this and they all resuscitate at one point ☺️

    If you are at a high altitude, do not rely on the “hard ball” and “soft ball” stages on a candy thermometer, because as water boils at a lower temp, candy cooks at a lower temp. So I do ten degrees less, because where I’m at (Albuquerque, a mile high), water boils a 202 F instead of 212 F (if you have an electric kettle that displays the temp, you will already know the temp your water boils at, because it cuts off at the temp water boils at instead of 212). You can also just boil water and then measure the temperature. You should subtract the number of degrees from the temp in the recipe, so if the recipe calls for 235 F, I cook until 225, if it calls from 260, I cook to 250, etc.

I am inspired to grab my mother’s ol’ kitchen aid and make some cloudy nougat ☁️✨ After losing my mom in 2019 you have helped me find an entry point back into food, and what I love about preparing it. Thank you Claire!! ❤

    When I think of Christmas, I think of candy making. Cookies are pretty much the 2nd thing food wise I think about with Christmas. Is Nougat similar to divinity? Since I'm from southern Georgia in the US, divinity is often made around Christmas time. The fudge looked great, I wanted to reach through and grab one of those hazelnut pieces! The caramel was beautiful! Thank you, Claire!

    • @merie7920

    All three recipes were well laid out with detailed instructions. I especially enjoyed the caramel part -- having said that, I don't actually like caramel at all but I still want to be able to make it for others. When it comes to the chocolate fudge recipe I think it is a massive amount of work for something that tastes fine with the Carnation 5-minute-fudge recipe. I wouldn't attempt Claire's recipe as she seemed to struggle with it herself. I do however, think that I will try adding a couple tablespoons of honey to the 5 minute recipe and see how it comes out.

    When we were growing up, my older sister loved trying to make fudge. I say "try" cuz it would crystallize almost everytime and become gritty and chunky. We'd affectionately call it "puppy poop fudge" and I loved it because it meant I'd get pretty much the whole batch to myself lol

  • @effiesorrentino2877
    @effiesorrentino2877 2 роки тому

    I just made this recipe yesterday. It is VERY delicious but mine didn't set up as firmly as I hoped it would. I put it in the refrigerator overnight and cut and wrapped the pieces this morning. We will certainly be eating the nougat off the wax paper squares😂I'm a pretty seasoned cook and candy maker. I don't use a candy thermometer, I use a thermopen for everything. I'm sure my temperatures were accurate. I didn't have refined coconut oil or cocoa butter so I used a combination of butter and Crisco. Could this have made a difference? Any suggestions as to how to make it a bit firmer?

Would it be all right to sub with almonds or hazelnuts, maybe both? Would definitely prefer hazelnuts in the fudge too. I have to skip the caramels though. They're my kryptonite 😢.
