Do you guys remember this sweet from the movie narnia. Ever since i watched the movie i always wanted to taste this sweet. But unfortunately it is not available in my place. It was very recently i happened to watch the movie again with maha and mahi. Maha asked me whats that he is eating and she wanted that too. So i thought of making it my own.

I browsed online and got to know that it needs just basic ingredients except cream of tartar. So i ordered that from amazon. Couple days back i got the product and made this delicious dessert yesterday. It was very easy to make. The only hard thing is getting the sugar syrup to the right consistency which is not that hard. The end result was so worth it. So please try it.
Hope you will give this a try and let me know how it turns out for you.

This looks yummy and delicious. Thanks for sharing this Aarthi! Very clearly explained !
hi i was so looking forward to try out this receipe as i was missing eating it. nd i did. But i miserably failed! it turned out to be burnt toffee which started to smoke in less than 30 mins. i had to throw out the whole thing. I tried this out at midnight and am gutted due to the waste of time and money in a lockdown. i cant imagine what could have possibly gone wrong as i tried the receipe to the tee. used maizeflour which was slightly yellow in colour.
