I'm Gary,
A retired firefighter from WMFD in West Memphis, AR. I moved to the sunshine state a couple of years ago and we love it in Florida. I enjoy cooking and I usually did the cooking at the fire stations, mainly because the cook didn't have to clean up, lol. Most of the recipes I shared on here I've cooked at the station. I hope you enjoy these videos. Thanks for watching.

Figured out what went wrong and revised the recipe, you have to cook the nougat for 20 minute. It set up perfectly.

The Best part of this video was the little dance that you gave after you took that first bite.... 👍

[@easycookingwithgary]

Thank you.

[@gradyray1655]

My wife made these last night with the revised recipe, and they turned out perfect. Wish I could put a picture on here. Thanks for sharing.

[@easycookingwithgary]

Thank you I’m glad you liked them..

[@annabodhi38]

Those look amazing. Thank you Gary, for the video, and for all of your hard work.

[@easycookingwithgary]

Thank you. Have a great day.

[@easycookingwithgary]

If any body knows why it didn’t set up firm, please let me know. The flavor is really good. Thanks for watching

[@ChristSaves88]

I think you should’ve left it in the fridge longer but thanks for sharing sir! I will be making this tomorrow.☺️

[@easycookingwithgary]

Thank you let me know what you think about it.

[@CCMTVPuyallup]

Other recipes show the first ingredients melted together first before adding the marshmallows - maybe yours didn't get hot enough?

[@easycookingwithgary]

@@CCMTVPuyallup I’ll try that. Thanks

[@easycookingwithgary]

I figured it out and revised the recipe..

[@lorettathornton6318]

That looks good. I love just putting peanuts and candy corn together ( that taste like a payday to me).

[@easycookingwithgary]

That sounds good, I found a recipe I’m going to try around Halloween when i can find the candy corn, and make a butterfinger..

[@JGrGtz]

Looks great! I’m pretty sure they didn’t set up due to your pan being smaller than a 9x13 (yours was 7x12) so therefore the “batter” was thicker in your pan and couldn’t quite act as a sticky glue. I’m definitely trying this.

[@easycookingwithgary]

Thank you, I will definitely try a larger pan. Thanks for watching.

[@araceliadams34]

I think I'd like them just like that.

[@easycookingwithgary]

They tasted great..

[@brendagoodman3222]

Saw this recipe on another channel made with. 2 cups of the marshmallows and it set up better.

[@Nach0ooLibre]

I believe the reason it was stickier and didn't set up firm was because the use of margarine instead of butter. Also, I believe you only needed three tablespoons and not four. It still looked delicious though... great job!

[@easycookingwithgary]

Thank you.

[@sharoncomstock7477]

I used butter and mine was very sticky

[@karinc5736]

Too many marshmallows, i had the same problem, gooey sticky mess. i cut into small pieces and with slightly wet hands i formed into rectangles and dipped bottoms and sides in chocolate.

[@angelbailey3604]

I would leave that out

[@angelbailey3604]

Payday don't have marshmallows

[@easycookingwithgary]

They were really good and tasted like a payday. Thank you

[@edwardnash7411]

They do not set up you need to cook them like you are making fudge

[@easycookingwithgary]

Thanks, Do you know what temperature to get it up too .

[@badgerfactory]
