FromVAtoCA | Week 2 | Cooking with Katie - Fairy Food!
I attempted to fulfill a childhood dream of having my own cooking show and I subjected you to be my poor audience member! Fairy Food has always been on my family's list of cookies/goodies/sweets to bake every year for Christmas and I think it's one of the most fun ones to watch. I hope you enjoyed the video and if you want to try it yourself, the recipe is below; wearing a festive apron and antler getup is mandatory. ;)
Ingredients:
1 cup sugar
1 cup dark corn syrup
1 tablespoon distilled white vinegar
1-1.5 tablespoons baking soda
1 (12 ounce) package chocolate chips
2 tablespoons shortening
1 square unsweetened baking chocolate
Directions:
Before you begin, grease a large baking dish with a stick of butter. Set aside. In a large microwavable bowl, stir together the sugar, corn syrup and vinegar. Microwave mixture for 3 minutes. Stir. Microwave mixture for an additional 7-10 minutes.
When the mixture reaches approximately 300 degrees, remove from the microwave and quickly stir in the baking soda with a wooden spoon; it will become very fluffy/foamy. Pour immediately into the prepared/buttered dish, and set aside to cool for about an hour. Break into little pieces when cool.
To coat the honeycomb, melt the chocolate chips, shortening, and baking chocolate in a bowl. Dip pieces of honeycomb in chocolate, and place on waxed paper until set.
