It really was!

Oh, I also make candies, mostly different types of clusters. I have done the corn starch trick with Maraschino cherries and the frozen bananas. I don’t like doing chocolate covered fruit because it is a pain. lol And, I get more burns than with my other weird concoctions.

Yes, hand dipping fruit, especially small fruits, is dangerous and is why I always try to buy the long stemmed strawberries, when in season. OTOH...if the stem breaks off, it then becomes a HUGE problem, with burned fingers thrown in for good measure!

The cornstarch trick also works well, when making chocolates with cordial and Maraschino filled centers. :-)

OTOH...there's absolutely NOTHING worse than boiled sugar hitting your skin...re making peanut brittle, as I learned the hard way, when I was 12.

OTOH...making chocolate truffles are not difficult to master and the chance of getting burned much less! :-)
