A fete is similar to a flea market, lots of stalls selling all sorts of things. They are frequently held by schools and churches ;)

Yes, you can add colouring. Add it once the sugar is dissolved but before it starts boiling. You can test the toffee to see if it is cooked by having a bowl of cold water nearby. Spoon a small amount of toffee into the water to test the consistency, if it hardens then its ready ;)

Yes, you can add flavoring to the sugar and water (before it boils) - Orange Essence, Vanilla Essence, Peppermint Essence etc would all be good ;)

Your so sweet, your voice is so kind, you’d be an awesome teacher or even a tv presenter.

Yep...stickjaws in Sydney. I left Sydney in 1967 and have lived in 4 countries since. I still remembered the recipe well enough to make it for a couple of my kids in Ireland in 1973. But later, in Canada, it was gone from my head. I have never seen this toffee anywhere else in the world (I've been to about 22 countries) so I knew immediately that the chef on this video would be an Aussie. Sure enough! Thanks so much for the reminder. I will be making this toffee for my friends here in Spain.

[OnePotChefShow]

Usually they become grainy if you don't brush away the crystals while cooking the toffee syrup, or if you stir it once it starts boiling. Hope this helps ;)

"golden, sticky and very bad for your teeth..." - is how he introduces me to friends :P

Growing up in Melbourne meant having these at every school event and kids party! It was always these, fairy bread and those chocolate rice bubbles cups too!

Cheers for the trip down memory lane!

This looks similar to a hard candy that's made in the states around Christmas time but with cinnamon oil added. Now that brings back memories. Thanks for another great bit of food to try.

[zouljiin]

Oh, these look so tempting! I've never had them before, but it still makes my mouth water to imagine tasting them!

You're welcome - thanks for watching ;)

[sheisthequeen]

thank you for this video, loved them when i was younger. ahhhh the memories

[shinycat]

they were the first things I would buy! back in the early '70's, they were softish...you could take a bite and have long strings of toffee. I used to look for the red ones <3
