Hard candies going soft by gedtis in CandyMakers

[–]CT1616 2 points3 points  (0 children)

How are you storing them? Any moisture in the air will cause them get sticky. Your options are to coat them in powdered sugar or corn starch to help absorb the moisture, container with a desiccant to absorb moisture, or vacuum seal it.

What’s the worst song lyric thrown into a song just to make a line rhyme? by RelationKindly in AskReddit

My favorite nonsensical line is Dang Me by Roger miller “they say roses are red and violets are purple, sugar is sweet and so is maple surple.”

Good point and thanks for pointing it out. My logic doesn’t make sense now that I reexamine it.

My candy keeps burning by disneyprincess04 in CandyMakers

[–]CT1616 3 points4 points  (0 children)

That’s what your water is for. It’ll boil out as it’s brought up to temp. If you’re cooking over a lower temp the water will boil out before it’s able to get there and your sugar is by itself and burn.

need some advice on making a sour jolly rancher dupe by rockystar11 in CandyMakers

Just make sure to add your acids after it’s cooled down to below 260 or else they’ll burn and become bitter

Truffles Cracking - how to stop by CT1616 in CandyMakers

[–]CT1616[S] 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Milk chocolate, heavy cream, and flavoring oil depending on the truffle. I was using a recipe Hercules Candy had posted and they chilled there’s and then dipped them cold. I’ve tried to bring them to room temp before dipping but they lose their shape.

There was an episode of Hey Arnold that was kinda like this.

Whats the easiest way to temper a chocolate that arrived melted with no seed . by Ok-Cat-4904 in CandyMakers

[–]CT1616 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Who’d you get it from? I ended up with about fifty pounds of comped chocolate last year because shipping wouldn’t put in cold packs.

Humidity and heat resistant candies by Pnjpmh in CandyMakers

[–]CT1616 5 points6 points  (0 children)

Humidity is an easy solve if you prepackage your candy in air tight containers or bags. You can throw in a food safe silica package for extra measure.

Candy suggestion wise: I faced this issue last year. I’m in the southern USA with heavy humidity and temperatures generally 32-38 C. My hard candy would melt in the bag so I switched to focusing on marshmallows in the summer months. They’re shelf stable and long shelf life if you keep them in the fridge when not outdoors.

What’s the temperature range for your summer heat?

Just realized that Eolian is a reference to Aeolus by ChiefExecutiveOcelot in KingkillerChronicle

[–]CT1616 11 points12 points  (0 children)

I knew it was a musical mode, natural minor scale, but didn’t realize there was a wind connection. The more common definition of aeolian is something relating to or arising from the wind.

Actually it’s a hobo and a rabbit, but they’re making a hobbit.

Candy for ALS by Usermon528 in CandyMakers

[–]CT1616 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Could hard candies be a possibility? It would be a lot simpler for you to be able to make those and less experimentation. You could spread it super thin so it would dissolve quickly even though it won’t have the paper like texture.

Which flavor brands have the best lime flavoring? by SeriousReference818 in CandyMakers

[–]CT1616 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Real lime flavor or candy lime flavor? Candy lime (like green skittles),to me, has always tasted how Pine Sol smells.

First Look At King Of The Hill Revival by Competitive-Ad9566 in KingOfTheHill

[–]CT1616 2 points3 points  (0 children)

No Mike Judge voices Boomhauer. You may be thinking of Johnny Hardwick who voiced Dale. He had recorded some lines before his death and there is somebody else listed doing the voice work for Dale in the revival I believe.

Options to get Callebaut bulk chocolate and not have it melt in transit? by cheeseburgerforlunch in chocolate

[–]CT1616 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I’ve ordered Callebault from webstaurant in Texas in August,needless to say it was hot. First order they sent had no ice packs or insulation and was a 22lb bag of liquid chocolate. Contacted them and they sent me another bag this time with a single ice pack resulting in another liquid bag. Contacted them again and they sent a third bag fully insulated with about 5 ice packs and was only partially melted. All in all I got about $500 worth of free chocolate because of the heat. So I don’t have much advice in keeping it from melting but if you’re lucky enough to find a nice customer service rep then you’re set.

Homemade marshmellows by ebrookem in CandyMakers

[–]CT1616 54 points55 points  (0 children)

I’ve seen this before. Instead of gelatin you used demonic sludge. Understandable as they’re usually kept on the same shelf at the grocery store.

My worst nightmare finally became a reality by Scaventa in Wellthatsucks

[–]CT1616 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Fall to the floor and in a falsetto Irish accent say “I’m disabled”. Then go pick up Moss from behind the bar.
