Although my syrup did not go higher than 110C (230F), yet it was already dark brown and very sticky and viscous. I quickly poured it over the nuts and it set so quickly.<br /><br />Btw, do you know of a recipe to make a type of hokkien traditional wedding candy it is coated with rice crispies, longish in shape, and the inside is hollow. When you bite it, it is crunchy. I think it is called Mi Fang (米方), not the Mi Xiang/Bee Pang (米香)which is more compact.<br /><br />regards,<br />Miss B<br />Miss B @ Everybody Eats Well in Flandershttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12462712660493708119noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-12790784.post-39245170405186348582013-10-16T11:04:44.705-06:002013-10-16T11:04:44.705-06:00tricia
