Why Does This Candy Taste Like Waffles? 🤔

[@jacquelinehunter8452]

Terri, you’ve been trying the wrong kind of maple syrup. The maple syrup commonly found in stores is more often a mass produced product that is put through evaporators. The highest quality is actually from a producer that evaporates and cooks over a traditional open flame. It produces the deepest and darkest colour and is intensely maple flavoured. I purchase from a friends farm in Ontario, and it is about as dark as the flavour poured into this brittle.

[@moniquehebert178]

Yeah Canada!! Our maple syrup rocks!!!

[@KatieJoMikell]

[@snowkat7566]

@@HerculesCandy Do you guys ever toast any of the nuts you use for the brittles or candies?

[@KittyMomma223]

What about using maple sugar to replace some of the regular sugar to amp up the maple flavor? Could also add a little vanilla too.

[@c.thompson9771]

I think putting that couple tbsp. of baking powder in prematurely, and then heating it again, before the rest of it with flavoring, would definitely affect the particular texture, as well as the shape of whole nuts mixed, and mixed, and mixed on the table, may have acted like little wisks, adding even moar air to the body brittle. Nicely experimented!

We used ship station at one of my jobs, since it is through the post office, we had a mail truck come and pick up our packages. They were easy to track and it worked for international shipping also. We also had a rep we could contact from the post office she was wonderful. I kept her contact info when I left so if I had issues with personal shipping she helped me on that also..

I am with ya. I can eat nuts ,but I don’t like them mixed into anything.

[@serbowdster2311]

Steve is right (as always-he is the master) the maple being subtle will leave you wanting more, too much and you will want smaller amounts of brittle overall. You want sell more then keep it subtle.

[@kmetz878]

Random question for whoever would like to discuss - why is maple seemingly marketed as a "fall flavor"? I used to help collect sap for a local sugar shanny when I was growing up and to me all of my seasonal associations with maple are for the early spring when all of the syrup is made.

[@byronmurphy1977]

Brown coloured, like the leaves that fall off in the fall (here in England we call it Autumn).

Not relevant to this video, but thanks for *all* of these super detailed videos. Making candy canes is one of those things my mom has always wanted to do. But the one time we tried (years ago, without a lot of information, no practice, a week before Christmas) it did not end well. And she was pretty crushed by that. She's finally ready to give it another shot, largely thanks to your videos, and I intend to practice in secret as added insurance lol. 2022 is the year my mom's candy cane dream comes true! (hopefully) So is there any chance you could share what gloves you use for candy canes? I heard in one of the videos that they were lint-free cotton gloves, but I don't know if you guys have found those to be "the best" or if other materials are fine and it's down to personal preference...? Regardless, thanks again for providing a treasure trove of visual and procedural information to wannabes like me and my mom. It is ridiculously helpful. Thank you! :)

[@shaddowsdieout]

They do use those and prefer them. If the candy is cool enough they can leave a nice glossy finish as they rub their gloves over. It still protects from the heat a bit. And it sticks less to the gloves and product
