    @ArtGardenFoodExpressions4 years ago Loved it. Thank you. P.S. when do we get another overnighter at the cabin. I like the Cabin. It's what drew me to your channel as a subscriber. 7

    @PrairiePlantgirl4 years ago That’s a great gift. Very smart of you to think to heat the toffee back up a bit to cut. 1

    @AWWx24 years ago Another great kitchen cooking video from you. Thank you. Homemade candy and other items from the kitchen always make such a great and personal gift. I did a search for the book in Google and came up with several dealers who have used copies from 1966. The publisher for one is listed as Gramercy Press, NYC, and another as Ward Ritchie Press, which was in California. I mention this only in that publishers/editors of cookbooks in the USA in those days would print recipes with American styled measurements. These days, cookbooks being published often list ingredients with both metric weight and American measure. ...

    @susanmills84554 years ago Happy Sunday Dale,
    Thanks for this fun video- you got a chance to apply your muscle power to the candy, LOL.
    I wanted to ask you, on 12/21/20 there will appear in the evening sky the Christmas Star. It is a rare event- everyone on the face of the earth will be able to see it ! !
    It is actually Saturn and Jupiter very close together, with Saturn being the brighter of the two.
    With your drone you could get EPIC VIDEO of this rare event. 12/21/20 is the winter solstice, the darkest night of the year !
    This Christmas Star can be seen about 45 minutes after sunset in the West, Southwest horizon.
    I really hope it is possible for you to put the drone up and video this, it should be SPECTACULAR . 💚💛💙💜
    Thanks again for this toffee video. God Bless.

    @ronalddevine95874 years ago Try using the oil spray for your container when you measure molasses and corn syrup. Works great

    @robberntson89344 years ago Dale, A cup is a cup. The difference comes in at a pint. US= 2 cups, Imp = 2.5 cups (160 oz vs 20)

    @garylee13534 years ago That's the type of toffee that usually comes with a little metal hammer in the box so you can have at it! 1

    @eagle4god3734 years ago I think you are just to shatter it into to pieces. Still good for -you made it look nice.
