Like a Kid in a Candy Store

               
    Nougat

  1. A candy made from sugar or honey, nuts, and egg white.

















The first one(above) we made was a plain nougat with almonds and pistachios.

The second one(to the right) we made was a chocolate nougat with almonds
and pistachio. The chocolate one was delicious and almost tasted like fudge!


























Pate 

      de 


           Fruit














These are called pate de fruit. They are chewy fruit candy made with fruit puree.  

The orange are Passion fruit- Apricot.

The really dark purple are Pear-Cassis

The light purple are Raspberry
                     









These are not Pate de Fruit, but they are another type of chewy candy. They are just like gummy bears! They are also raspberry flavored.












            


Caramel














These are your traditional chewy and creamy caramels that everyone likes to snack on!




























To the right are chocolate caramels with flakes of salt on them! The caramelized sugar brings out the rich flavor of the chocolate.









Something I thought of would be to do a layer of the regular caramel and a layer of the chocolate caramel to balance out the strong flavor of the chocolate.




These caramels are definitely not your traditional caramel, but they are in fact delicious! They are passion fruit caramel!! They are by far my favorite type of caramel








      Hard 

        
           Candy












Above are strawberry lollipops!




To the right are mints.


To the left are lemon hard candies. They are made from pulling sugar. Let me tell you, pulling sugar is a lot harder than what the chefs make it look on competitions on t.v. You have to make sure the sugar is always warm, which can end up giving you blisters...ouch!













S'more Time



Well, I probably would not make s'mores with these marshmallows. They are mango-yuzu marshmallows. Although, they are pretty good dipped in chocolate!
