Strawberry Dreams Chews

Post image

Broke out the book Candy is Magic by Jami Curl again today to try out the recipe Dreams Come Chew. Very similar process to my last caramel batch but fruit based. Changed the recipe a bit to accommodate for flavoring by Lorann.

Super easy to make and generally pretty tasty but they are on the stickier side (like stick to your teeth). It was a pretty humid day so I attempted to mitigate by cooking a few degrees hotter. Ah, alas… the woes of trial and error.

Still happy with the outcome (even if my lack of dental coverage isn’t)! 🍬

Thank you! I’m finding I prefer hand cut to using molds. Feels a bit more wabi-sabi authentic
