Does anyone else have trouble buying liquid glucose in bigger quantities in england? At present I can only buy small jars containing 140g of syrup from supermarkets and pharmacies. If anyone knows an online store that I could buy from but in larger quantities I would really appreciate your help...

glucose and corn syrup are pretty much interchangeable in this type of recipe...as a matter of fact, glucose has less water than corn syrup. i don't think this is the reason for your stickiness. could be humidity or could be not cooking to the proper temperature. if you're dipping in chocolate, your chocolate shouldn't ever be hot enough to melt a marshmallow...are you attempting to coat the 'mallows and allow them to set up like a candy? if that's the case, check out the p&b index for information on tempering chocolate. well worth the extra effort. ← Woo Hoo Success!!!! I'm just about the happiest person who ever made Marshmallows I managed to coat them in chocolate not all over, just the tops but they came out lovely I also coated the remainder in potato starch - no stickiness Thanks to everyone that gave advice - truly sound! Now if only I could post pics of them ...

Thanks Patris I think my chocolate was too hot because as soon as I dunked one it and tried fishing it out it had started to melt so we had a fondue party instead! I'll give it another go because those just look awesome. xx Btw this Q is for anyone I know the original recipe calls for Corn Syrup well we dont get it in England so I substituted it for Glucose Syrup - could this be the reason why they get kinda sticky?

Those look totally amazing! In the past when i've tried to coat mine in chocolate the m/m started to melt, what would be the best way to do it? Also my batch set really well but even after coating with potato starch they were quite sticky - should i have beat them a bit more or is it more to do with cooking the sugar to a higher temp (i followed nightwatchmans recipe) xx

Frozen samosas keep very well and fry evenly - always deep fry samoosas they will absorb less oil. There are many variations of samosas many of which have been covered here, perserve and you should come out with some great results. With regards to the filling being cold, I always make sure it's thoroughly cooled down before I fill samosas even leaving the filling in the fridge overnight. If you are freezing samosas open freeze them on a tray, once they start to harden you can transfer them to a tupperware or into freezer bags.

Doh!!

Digestive biscuits! cool! makes them sound even more yummy. Now all I need to figure out is how to layer them cos they are round ... Thanks for the prompt reply gfron1

I've read lots of topics on S'mores but am not sure what "graham crackers" are I'm pretty sure we don't get them in England, can anyone enlighten me or suggest an alternative? Kerry Beals recipe sounds gorgeous !

There's a killer recipe in "Baking: From My Home To Yours" by Dorie Greenspan. It's a chocolate biscotti and is loaded with almonds and is extremely easy to make - fool proof! ooh and perfect to dunk too! Not sure if I'm allowed to post the recipe - copy right and all?

Hi everybody I have been reading and re-reading this string for the past week and eventually plucked up the courage to make my first ever batch of Strawberry Marshamallows, like others I thought it would be a real chore and as a complete novice to any type of confectionary making I was amazed at how easy the recipe really is. I just wanted to thank you all for the wealth of info posted here, can you believe it nearly 2 years worth! and ofcourse to nightscotsman for the fantastic recipe. I'm hoping to try Vanilla MMs this weekend and still want to dip some of my Strawberry ones in Chocolate .. mmm mmm .. I'm fasting at the mo so all this talk about food is making my tummy rumble
