I decided to double all the quantities.  It doesn't half froth up! eeek:

It is disgustingly sweet and a sample piece I tried stuck my teeth together. I bet we could fix the roof with that stuff noooo:

You put in half a tin of golden syrup and 200g of caster sugar… you didn’t think it might be just a little on the sweet side then?

Also try Cinder Toffee:

Adding bicarbonate of soda to the mixture aerates it, producing bubbles in the toffee and altering the texture. When broken into pieces, the toffee looks just like golden colored cinders.

8 oz granulated or caster sugar
1 table spoon of golden syrup
1/4 teaspoon cream of tartar
2 1/2 fl oz's Water
1/4 teaspoon bicarbonate of soda
1 teaspoon warm water

Pour the sugar, syrup, cream of tartar and water into a heavy pan and heat gently until sugar has dissolved. Boil without stirring until a little of the mixture forms hard , brittle threads when tested in cold water. (310F / 154C on a sugar thermometer) Dissolve the bicarbonate of soda in the teaspoon of warm water and pour it into the toffee, which will froth up. Stir well and pour into a shallow, greased  tin. Break into pieces when cold. Wrap in greaseproof paper and store in an airtight tin.


I have recipes for home made (no e numbers):

Lollipops /Barley Sugar / Caramels / Bonfire Toffee / Butterscotch / Honey fudge / Nougat / Coconut ice / Scots Tablet / Acid Drops /  Chocolate nut fudge / Glasgow Toffee / Panocha /Real fruit Jellies / Edinburgh Rock / Humbugs /Chocolate Rum Truffles/ Mealie Candy / Golden toffee  / Sherbet / Claggum / Peppermint Creams / Everton Toffee / Kendal Mint Cake / Marshmallows / Angus Toffee /Creamy Vanilla Fudge / Bulls-eyes / Brechin Tablet / Nut Brittle / Toffee Apples / Chocolate Caramels / Turkish Delight.

If anyone wants any.  whistle:

I was thinking more of making it for the younger members of the family, if you make it, you know what is in it... useful for those with problems eating ready made stuff.

True and very thoughtful of you but you are crediting me with more will power than I possess. Wenchy isn't the only one who finds temptation hard if not impossible to resist.

No its a blood sugar level meter. You prick a finger tip four times a day and use the meter to check your sugar levels.
That assumes you are not being facetious ~ if you are, and with all due respect, p*ss orf  ;)

I also have a couple of these to enable the safe disposal of all the needles and stuff.


It's the needle in the belly to inject the insulin I hate most. Fortunately I am mainly controlled with pills and diet these days but in extremis I have to self inject. Used to have to do it daily ..... I really don't know how some manage having to inject four times a day. The finger pricking is bad enough ..... you run out of places to do it that aren't already sore.
