| 712125 | 2008-10-14 05:30:00 | Give up . SWMBO has been trying to make it for 40 years and has never had success . And she is a pretty good cook, so its not her . Find a shop that sells it . Ken :2cents: PS She tells me she is open to suggestions as well beetle - making Hokey Pokey that is!! :wub |

| 712126 | 2008-10-14 05:56:00 | An art? I suspect it is science plus art. If I had been aware of the question this morning, I could have had a look at how the magicians at the hokey pokery factory do it. Now I suppose I may have to force a small girl to take me to the ice cream factory again. She may get slightly emotional about that idea. :banana |

| 712127 | 2008-10-14 06:07:00 | Make it crunchy? It is the teaspoonful of vinegar you add right at the last minute before pouring into dish. Cheers LL |

| 712128 | 2008-10-14 06:12:00 | Ohhh . . . Hokey Pokey . :drool Guess what I've just made? I used this ( . chelsea . co . nz/ViewRecipe . aspx?id=137" target="_blank">www . chelsea . co . nz) recipe and kept stirring it on a low heat until all the crunchy texture had gone (sugar dissolved) which took well over 5 mins . Then boiled for 2 mins and added my baking soda . And voila!! ( . imagef1 . net . nz/files/P1000237 . JPG" target="_blank">www . imagef1 . net . nz) . Yes, I know what it *looks* like . :rolleyes: However, once fully set it is very light and gives a nice squeaky crunch when you bite into it . Pity about the slightly burnt taste . :waughh: I get the idea you shouldn't use your good pots ( . imagef1 . net . nz/files/P1000239 . JPG" target="_blank">www . imagef1 . net . nz) when making it . . . |

| 712130 | 2008-10-14 06:22:00 | Would this help? (seems very similar to Edmonds recipe), no vinegar in it though. www.wikihow.com Heres another recipe (looks like the arts in the method), from here www.shopenzed.com Hokey Pokey This is a classic New Zealand recipe, for a crunchy, brittle, chewy toffee that we call Hokey Pokey. Hokey Pokey nuggets also go into our Hokey Pokey ice-cream, my favourite ice-cream flavour. 150g (5 oz) sugar 4 Tbsp golden syrup 2 tsp baking soda ( bicarbonate of soda) Put sugar and golden syrup into a large heavy saucepan, and heat over low heat until it all melts. Heat gently, increasing the temperature to medium, and stirring constantly until all the sugar crystals are dissolved. Bring the mixture to the boil, then reduce heat back to medium-low so the mixture continues simmering. Simmer for 5 minutes. Stir occasionally to prevent burning. Remove from heat. Add baking soda, quickly mixing it into the sugar until the mixture froths up. Immediately pour into buttered shallow tin ( or onto a marble slab, as has been suggested to me). Leave until cold, and then break into pieces. If you have put it in a tin, upending the tin over paper and bashing the bottom of the tin should release the hokey pokey! Keep in an airtight container. Any little pieces are nice sprinkled over icecream. |

| 712132 | 2008-10-14 07:34:00 | We made Hokey Pokey is Science class about 2 years ago. Surprisingly it was actually edible and tasted pretty similar to the stuff in the Ice Cream although it was slightly stickier :banana | MongooseRoadkill (13197) | ||
