RE: Copycat recipes: Cadbury's Tempo.
What an amazing adventure! I am so happy you are a blogger on steem! This is one of those unbelievable true stories that leave me with my mouth agape at your dedication (with little driblets of drool for the different chocolate bits). Basically like watching a chocolate bar, not any chocolate bar but the super sexy super model version of a chocolate bar getting dressed.
If you really do plan to keep making these, we need to figure out a way to speed up the hand punching of the shortbread bits. I think we could make a metal mold that would punch a couple dozen each push....
Also, I propose that we use this article and make a campaign to Cadbury, this is literally the type of stuff that get's you featured on tv comercials or 60 minutes specials!
Oh and
I can't not put ANY salt in things.
LOL!
Thanks so much for your comment @ecoinstant! I know, if I'm to make a box of these for gifts I need to figure out a better method. I think an extruder might work better, am on the hunt for a potato mouli or something I can test it with. If you have any ideas on how I could make a metal mold it'd be greatly appreciated!
I've tagged Cadbury in my instagram and facebook posts about the blog- but no feedback yet (they were very friendly and patient during my pleading call to ask if they could send me any recalled stock they may have left after their swift collection....so I know they're nice people...I'll be patient too!) (if you have any idea how I can get the message through to them more quickly though, again great gratitude awaits you)
Lastly- salt belongs everywhere. I refuse to believe otherwise. My blood pressure is the result of global politics , the failing economy and the fact that landlords in Cape Town don't permit keeping pets. I will not be suaded to give up what little good remains in this world: Delicious, well-seasoned nosh. (and the possibility of feedback from Cadbury)
What a wonderful comment! I am going to call on a friend @makinstuff to see if he has any ideas, if not I have a grandpa who is a machinist and I think we help you invent something. You've come this far!
I will think on Cadbury, I might just call up the marketing department and see how far I can get...
Cheers! (a big salty cheers!)
Steem seems to be glitching and refuses to let me comment on your last reply. Hopefully this one makes the cut. The cookies are about half a cm in diameter once baked, so they're a little smaller in the press, though I think I can get away with them being slightly bigger. Thanks so much to you and @makingstuff for the help! (I'll post you some bars once I've got a production line figured out!)
What the Duck!
I need to know about how big those buttons are; a friend of mine (@makinstuff) has offered to test a conceptual design for mass-producing these buttons. What would you say is the diameter of each button?
