puff candy?

Nooooo - baking powder contains other ingredients too not just bicab. By puff candy I assume you mean cinder toffee or honeycomb.

Puff candy is honeycomb, or Crunchie sans chocolate.

Don't have Sainsburys here.

I thought puff candy was illegal

Fruitbatlings · 22/12/2009 21:09

no, I imagined something like candy floss but can't work out how the bicarb is needed

I can't see any link between toffee/honeycomb and puff candy

Fruitbatlings · 22/12/2009 21:10

oh right, it is honeycomb then. Is that an American word?

MrsW - sometime pharmacies sell it, where are you? or also known as baking soda in the US.

Don't think its illegal, not great for your teeth or waistline but not illegal.

Illegal? Bizarre!
