Hi There,
Thank you for taking the time to advise me about the isomalt. You are correct in assuming I added the color after it came to the hard crack phase-which I read to be 160C-which is when i took it off the burner as well. I was thinking that might be the issue and was about to try a batch without color.
I will let you know how it turns out. It is a rather humid day here in Northern California so i will wait for it to subside before trying one more time.
It is interesting that you also cook the isomalt a full 20 degrees (to 340F or 170C) longer than what I read online, so I will try this as well.
If you have any tips on molding with isomalt, as in filling a two part mold, I would love to hear about it!
