The Blob

Campbell and I decided to make some Puff Candy. Some of you may know it as Cinder toffee, others as the middle golden bit in a Crunchie bar. It should be light and golden and crisp and very tasty in a tooth rottingly sweet way.

BUT and this is a warning to all.

When boiling syrup and sugar do not, repeat... do NOT get into a conversation about the merits of Batman and Robin, which would you be if you were one of the caped crusaders and then go on to compare the enemies of the batman to people you may, or may not know.

Because...

Behind you...

The mild mannered confectionary is turning into a foul smelling, swamp coloured evil blob. Which conceals it superbad powers until the moment when you add the catalyst of Bicarbonate and then it comes alive

and escapes

and grows

and writhes

and glowers

and oozes 'orrible stink

and seeps

all over the kitchen table.


Luckily Robin was with me to help defeat the evil monster. With the aid of his utility belt he was even brave enough to taste a bit (EEUUUCHHH!!!).

It is now contained (almost) in a bowl but as you can see it is still oozing. If I don't make it back on blip by Monday, send help!
