Waygu Fat Soft Chewy Caramels

This is a tale of a special caramel.  Caramels, as you must know, are those creamy, buttery, chewy, melt in your mouth and oh so darn delicious candies.  It’s amazing how simple they are to make, magic up some sugar and ta-da you have these lovely soft and chewy candies.

So back to our special caramel.  We’ve made caramels before but this time we tried something totally different.  Different how?  Well, what happened is that we got our greedy little hands on some wagyu fat.  Wagyu, yum, amiright, that totally luscious and ever so expensive marbled beef.  With this wee bit of waygu fat on our hands we were like, what should we do?  And, as it turns out, the answer was to make the most amazing caramels ever:  Waygu Fat Soft Chewy Caramels to die for!!

Caramelized Figs

Happy Halloween!  For our spooky day sweet treat, we decided to fig it out!  It really is the season for figs in Hong Kong as the markets have been absolutely flooded with fresh plump figs recently.  A bit of sugar and a hot pan and you’ve got really scrummy caramelized figs.  It’s an easy and non tricksy way to prepare a perfectly perfect and healthy sweet treat!

Chinese Preserved Plum Caramel Lollipops 話梅棒棒糖

Oooh! I'm quite pleased with these lollipops, they'll do...  What a fun and easy thing to make at home and pass out to all the crazy lollipop lovers in your path!  But wait, first I have to warn the uninitiated, the secret of these lollipops is that they have a heart of Chinese preserved dried plums which are cheek puckeringly sour and yet sweet at the same time.  

Each of these fun and lovely to look at traditional Chinese Preserved Plum Caramel Lollipops, or 話梅棒棒糖, have a licorice flavored dried plum encased lovingly in hardened caramel, sooo good to lick and suck slowly, sweet and sour coming together in your mouth to satisfy and sooth your candy soul to yummilicious perfection.
