    "you'll want to use a hand mixer" - breaks the hand mixer (also breaks a spatula at home) - peak Claire chaos 😂

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

    • @chelseanyland
      @chelseanyland Před rokem +1

      @@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.

    @TheBLGL Před rokem +11

    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.

    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!

    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

  • @thequietinside3201
    @thequietinside3201 Před 5 měsíci

    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?

    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.

    Poor Claire, hand mixers are a bit of kryptonite 😁. That candy looks so awesome and tasty, and what a great gift idea. I'm not a fan of pistachios. 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 😢. Thanks for the great video!
