Well it doesn't taste a little burnt on the ... truffles?

But dang this is less than the sum of its parts. :(

Maybe the coconut version would be better? Coconut would retain more of its texture I think.

Also I think I took it too amber, it's a little burnt.

I am much worse at confectionary than baking xD

dipping is one of those things that i can’t photograph because too many hands. but i think i overdid the dipping and the shell will be too thick. it’s cooling to be _quite_ hard.

what really looks more like 12 orange chicken nuggs than confectionery but at least they no longer look like tumours

there we go

#finally #confectionary #BalaBaiana

it’s amber! and still bubbly as i’ve just removed the pot from heat
@moira.mastodon.murkworks.net.ap.brid.gyOct 4, 2026, 10:56 PM

a watched pot never caramelises

#confectionary #BalaBaiana

boiling ultra-saturated sugar water still not really turning amber

honestly those balls look like tissue samples made with a melon baller, coconut must look way better

(that’s called caramelisation! i think.)

This has to get _actually_ cool so I've set an hour timer. Hopefully that's long enough, I want to get done well before #Halloween #monsterdon ^_^

Traditionally this is done with coconut, not strawberry, but I loathe coconut so it's freeze-dried strawberries time. ^_^

SLEEP, MY PRETTIES

#confectionary #BalaBaiana

same goop bowl now in the fridge on an ice pack.
@moira.mastodon.murkworks.net.ap.brid.gyOct 4, 2026, 9:26 PM

And done in almost exactly five minutes. Neat! Now to cool.

#confectionary #BalaBaiana

a bowl of what honestly looks like some sort of tuna salad goop but i promise is not, in a glass bowl, next to a timer reading zero.
@moira.mastodon.murkworks.net.ap.brid.gyOct 4, 2026, 9:20 PM

confectionery is mostly stirring to a timer sometimes lol
