NOOO COME BACK DONT GIVE UP I LITERALLY JUST TRIED THIS AND IT WORKED

you need to have a toothpick to dip and test and if it doesn’t get crack-hard after a few seconds in the ice bath, heat at 30 second intervals until it does!!!!

😭 i was so happy when it worked it rly was super easy

[-alishaa-]

I’ve actually made it in the microwave, and it was delicious! The video I followed said that I needed to use 4 tbsp of sugar and 2 tbsp of water, then microwave it in a microwave safe cup for 30 seconds each (DONT stir) until it turns into a golden brown (trust me you can tell)
then dip your fruits it, place it in ice bath, and it becomes hard! it was actually really crunchy for me

Bro Tanghulu is a nightmare for me to make every time 😂😂

Should i try microwaving again? What do you think I should do differently? 👇👇

I did this and it worked for me I used grapes. I mixed sugar and water and microwaved it until it turned brown or golden and then i put the fruits in the sugar and the ice bath and let it stay in the ice bath for 1-2 mins. Srry if its not very specific i can put the link to the vid that i used to make this

I watched a video on using a microwave as well because I was looking for an easier way and once I tried it it worked!
The video said to use 3 tablespoons of water and 6 tablespoons of sugar but obviously u can do more but just make sure it’s an equivalent ratio:)
Then, you use 1 minute increments and check up on the mixture if it turns a light/ golden brown, then microwave for 30 seconds! You will know it’s done when it turns a dark amber color! And just if u wanna be 100% sure it’s done stick a skewer in the mix and give it an ice bath then if it cruches, it’s done and u can start to coat ur fruit:)
- I hoped this helped! I think u should give the microwave a second chance because it’s very easy once you get the hang of it!!:D

A friendly tip! It works if you dip a stick into the sugar, then into the ice bath. Then you eat it, if it sticks to your teeth you need to microwave it longer. If it gives a nice crunch, and no stick it's good. Also don't warm it up for 2 minutes in the microwave, it works better if you warm it up in 30 second increments

"how will anyone know when the sugar gets hard"

[CamrynCarter-wxes]

that looks really good! I think you did a great job making them!! all of your food looks amazing!💗💗

[Plantsiren]

You did work for me. I got off of a different video. I added one cup of sugar 3 tablespoons of water, microwaved it in the microwave for three minutes the strawberries on a skewer straight into the iced water and it did come out really crunchy and it did not sugary and sticky, but it was really good😊

microwave recipes rarely work because of how different microwaves work

[Leo-iqor]

if using a microwave to make candy you need to start with the amount of liquid you want near the end,

so use just enough water to slightly dampen the sugar but still be crumbly sand like and not wet to touch,
as you have a small evaporation window.

I tried it and it worked I used grapes and added two cups of sugar and half a cup of water and and put it in the microwave until it started bubbling a lot and then I did the chopstick test dipped the grapes in the cup and put it in ice water then took the water out of the bowl with the grapes still in side and it worked. Make sure you put the sugar and water mug in the microwave of 30 seconds to 2 minutes until it bubbles and make sure to use a microwave safe cup.

I just made this yesterday in the microwave and it worked perfectly I used that same video also I think u should use dry fruits 😊❤

[Sofia-itzx]

I made tongue hole in the microwave before, but every microwave is different so you probably needed it to be and it at a different time. I would use a thermometer to check the temperature of the sugar mixture when it reaches 300° it should be good.

[newly_maemae]

It does work!! I do it this way because I simply don’t have a way to keep track of the temp, and it’s so much easier to clean ❤

[Aki_i]

I made tangulu with the microwave yesterday and since then i have been making them nonstop.

I recommend you keep checking on it each 30 seconds untill it has a brownish color.

[fatimabibifazel]

I always make it in the microwave and it totally works you proberly need to warm it a bit longer!

[KoalabloxxYT]

I did it in the microwave for 30 second intervals and it worked out pretty good It just took a lot of 30 second intervals.
